Suicide

[Hugh G. Rection]

Life is shit. You're born, life shits on you every opportunity, then you get sick and die. What is the point?:2 cents:

 

[Facetious]

I've only thought about national suicide

I don't like to talk about my dad.

I never knew him very well.

I'm not suggesting that this was anywhere remotely the case for you, Sketch, however -

Society (Government, Media, Motion Pictures and the liberal arts) have encouraged the sub culture of the "absentee father". Fathers happen to play an important role in the development of young people as they come out of puberty. It's natural for young people to seek out an identity when they're 11 - 18 years of age and maybe even longer if they hadn't yet found one.

Face it, we all know that some fathers are nothing more than sperm donor assholes, plain and simple. OTOH, that doesn't mean that all "absentee fathers"
are asshats !

Divorce courts have this idea that ALL Dads are assholes and should be restrained from visiting their children. Hell, there's self admitted drug addict mothers that get the nod for child custody in place of a court drug tested CLEAN father !, I know of two such cases.

And here we are - Politics / Politicians doing their damned best to make the father look like the villian. :flame:

How in the hell can a dad be a dad when he cannot visit with his kids ! :flame:

I've thought about it seriously before. I don't know if I will ever do it though. I was up one time for 45+ hours straight just thinking about blowing my brains out.

It's really a tough decision. If I had no family I'd have done it already.

If someone lost a child, I could totally understand it.
Other than that, not so much.

truth. my mom is so proud of me and everything i've done, and my brother looks up to me too much. i wouldnt want to let them down.

Lol, I thought it's some kind of a joke. A suicide thread here? Geez.

My 2 cents - it's just silly. Maybe I've just been lucky, but in all the hard moments I had in life (and I did have quite a few of them) I managed to pull myself together and fix things on my own.

Suicide is cowardice.

Most people who try to commit suicide are successful. The only people who fail are the people who want attention IMO.

Your last statement is either factual or not, it isn't opinion, of course their are people who fail without wanting attention, one of the dumbest things I've read on this board.

I think I can safely claim that EVERYONE has had suicidal thoughts in their life but of course the severity of the thoughts differ.

I personally have had it for my life sucked for a long time and still does to an extent. I will agree with Chef in that people dont commit suicides because they're cowards. I dont commit suicide because I'm a coward, well and also kindda rational. I guess some people who experience so much pain that even death doesnt deter them.

It is easy to say that doing what makes you happy translate to no suicidal thoughts. But life is so precarious and some people never are able to find that happy place through no fault of their own. I cant even really suggest of any ways to prevent suicides because every situation is different. I think the best approach is just to treat every situation with being judgmental.

Life is just a big long series of kicks in the nuts. It's all about getting back up and pushing on.

Nah, that wasn't my situation. My pops broke my mother's heart when he left us. They were never married or anything, so there was no divorce, and there was no going to court about custody over me. He never even tried to call us, until I was nine years old or so.

He was, I think, just desperately immature, and affraid of responsibility. And ashamed, because he was so affraid.

Most people who are willing to pull the trigger while the gun is lying on their temple usually don't want or care about help.

Suicide is for cowards? I don't think you realize how hard it is to try and take a life, especially when it's your own. A lot of people who commit suicide don't do it because they are cowardly. They do it because they've already tried everything that they could think of in order to make their life a better one; to put a smile on their face. Since nothing works, those people don't care about living, so they kill themselves.

It's not just an issue of "Aww, man...I don't feel like trying to get happy so I'll just kill myself". It's an issue of having an uncontrollable feeling and belief that your life will never get better, no matter how hard you try.

How hard is it to take your own life, man? Harder than getting over yourself, maybe actually doing something for yourself? Seems to me, the stronger- the braver will is damn good at living.

"They do it because they've already tried everything..." Bullshit. I don't believe that for a second, and neither should you. In this situation, if one would open their eyes and actually think for themselves for a change, look around.... instead of being stubborn, bullheaded and selfish, odds are very good, they'll find a way, if not a reason, to get on.

"It's an issue of having an uncontrollable feeling and belief that your life will never get better, no matter how hard you try." Don't live like a cock-roach. Live like a fucking Spartan.

I say again. People in this state of mind, the same state I was just a few years back, need to take these thoughts and toss them out. They need to forget them, and man up. If not for yourself, for your family and friends.

If you don't have any family, or friends, do it for the potential that some day, you just might. Maybe not. But how will you know if you don't try. Don't even want to try?

Do I have to say it?
