actually i think in a lot of cases people use attempted suicides as a cry for help. if they are attempted or they are successful depends but anyway... then there are the seriously suicidal people who attempt suicide and plan it out and really want to die... and i feel that most people can be helped and wouldnt need suicide. but for the people that are in a hell of pain that cannot be helped... situations like that... and i know from my own experience because i have a similar situation and ive thought about it myself..
Agreed. If one really wants to die, there's no reason that he shouldn't be able to kill himself (I'm looking around right now, and I can see a dozen different ways I could kill myself... not that I would do it). I was talking about the people who've made up their minds and are determined to die. Most of those people will probably succeed; the majority of the survivors are probably either seeking help or they're just not very bright.

i think that we should all damn well have the the right to kill ourselves because its our body.. just like we should have the right to do drugs and hurt ourselves because its our body.. as long as it doesnt hurt other people..
I agree that we should all have the right to decide the time of our death, but I just wanted to point out that suicide doesn't go unnoticed by family/friends of the deceased. Suicide can have a deep impact on loved ones: parents leaving children behind, children emotionally crippling their parents, deep riffs in families and friendships that may never heal. So, I think that if one decides to kill himself without making his feelings and intentions clear to those around him, suicide in itself is an extremely selfish and thoughtless act. For most people, it's an easy solution to all of their problems, that ends up devastating the people they leave behind.
