How do you feel about teens who commit suicide?

[guesswhosback08]

A lot of them have serious mental illnesses and that is nothing to play around with. It doesn't mean that they aren't smart or good people but some fall into the pit of despair and cant get out. It's really sad, and I don't think it's funny to make fun of people who have to deal with that shit because it's not their fault and we cannot really understand what that must feel like

Well then it's their problem and they need to seek help.

I don't understand what some people want. Help is something a lot of them don't want because they enjoy the attention and urgency they cause the people that care about them give when they act all sad.

That's really the end of discussion. Get help or die.

You obviously don't know anyone who has been through something like that.. to say they enjoy the attention when a lot of them are suffering is a stupid thing to say. maybe some do enjoy the attention but those ones aren't the ones that are really messed up. ive known some people close to me that have been on the verge of suicide and it was no act or cry for help and they were on medication and doing everything they could to get better. try a little sensitivity for people with real issues

Depression is a real disease. I have it. The difference between people like me and people who kill themselves or whine over it is these people do it for attention...I really just do have problems.

I have been depressed too. Didn't even want to get out of bed for awhile. Wellbutrin helped me get through it along with forcing myself to workout every morning. Some people just don't understand how real shit can get, I can't blame them for not fully understanding but to make fun of them and tell them to die is cowardly

If you think about it, is really stupid, I know everything seems bigger when you are a teen. But kill yourself because you were bullied online or in real life means lose the opportunity to live the rest of your life.

And what it seems so big at 15, means nothing when you are older. I guess they get depressed and can't analyze the things in a propper way. But I just can't understand it.

I know a guy who tried to kill himself after the gf left him. He didn't die. Now he regrets what he did, the problem is that he will suffer the consequences all his life....he didn't die, but he has aftermath.

You guys realise, with people trying to kill themselves, it's not their fault, you need to show compassion.

The irony in this post is funny.

For some reason I'm completely indifferent but I suppose I should feel sad, lol. What a strange question Maine.

One of my best-friends recently killed himself. (not so recently that I shouldn't be posting, August 23rd.) He had severe depression, a terrible homelife, and to top it all off, he was obsessed with a girl that, relatable to Eminem (although he didn't care for rap), he could never really get over and it drove him away from women. He finally decided to hang himself under these circumstances, and in his final weeks he pushed away the people he loved to spare them of the heartbreak.

I still feel the heartbreak he tried so desperately to keep me from. He tried talking to so many, but so very few understood. And if you say "I want to die." or "I'm going to kill myself" it can be tricky, because you can get taken away, especially as a teenager.

I will simply say that my feelings go out to the families of teens who commit suicide. I can understand what they were going through. I miss "Batman" as we used to call him, very much, and I hope time heals your wound, though I understand it may never do so. And to those of you who say "There is other options" I'll counter that with something from my friend's final goodbye:

"Some of you think you could've saved me. Sure, but what would I have been saved for? Another year of agony? Time spent away from people I love, locked away due to my severe depression and suicidal thoughts?"

...You just really can't argue with a made-up mind.

^ I'm sorry to hear that.

Back in January when I was feeling really depressed, I too kept everyone at a distance. Just in case.

I think if everyone had someone to love them this wouldn't be a problem.
Even though, a lot of them do have someone, I think honestly everyone wants a intimate partner. Who cares if your mom loves you if no girls or guys do huh? But someone with fucked up parents will say otherwise. Its a never ending circle of depression.

It's taking the easy way out. Weak people commit suicide, strong people wait it out. Take it from me, my older brother died at 22, my other brother is a raging drug addict. This caused me to gain a lot of weight, eventually being made fun of in high school. My grades slipped down the tubes, and it killed me just to get up in the morning. But I stuck it out. And now? I'm the happiest person in the world. Lost the weight and moved on with my life. No matter how bad it got, I never even considered killing myself. Sure, everyone has their own way of grieving, but killing yourself just seems ridiculous to me, unless it's under EXTREME conditions. At least then it makes more sense than killing yourself over petty high school shit.

Edit: Please note that I am NOT looking for sympathy here. I'm just trying to prove my point using my life struggles compared to that of a lot of teens who commit suicide.

What about adults who commit suicide? Does the spectrum change there?
