Ok, I'm not sure what all has been said but I just felt like putting my 2 cents in
I know so many people try to get people to stop others from committing suicide, but what's the point? As someone once said to me "Once someone has suicide in their mind, they're gonna do it...even if they have to wait 20years....they hit rock-bottom and they don't have the strength to swim back up" <-that was proven on 10-23-08...Emily Robbins commited suicide at FHS in Alabama. She had been goin to therapists a lot, and her parents were coming to pick her up frm school to go to another app. when the news reached them. I'm not really sure why this sweet sweet girl would commit suicide, but she did. A lot of people say it was because her ex broke up with her, but everyone knows it's more than this...she was bulimic, suffering from depression yet kept a smiling face on at school everyday up to her death. Noone could have stopped her, she tried multiple times before, and then she succeeded. I'm not really sure why people commit suicide, I know because depression and everything, but still...my friend was about to shoot himself last night, he sent a message stating the day of his death and how he died and a goodbye. I called him, hoping he was ok, when he answered, he sounded horrible. I just wished that I could end his pain for him...I'm not really sure what it was, but he called me a little while later thanking me. sayin he had been looking for a bullet when I called him, and if I hadn't, he would have shot himself. I', glad he's still alive cus I love him to death and I never wanna live without him, yet hearing how bad he sounded...it almost made me cry. I heard what rock-bottom was like. I heard the voice of someone who thought there was nothing else to live for. And even when he knows his problems, he still continues to deal with them...a controlling girlfriend (literally), a family he doesn't get along with, losing friends that were really close...they're just dragging him down even more into that pit, and sometimes he doesn't seem like he wants to get out. My other friend has an abusive family, and she has threatened suicide on multiple occassions, and I fear for her...cus she'll do it. Just to hurt everyone that has hurt her. Myself, I've thought about it...but I can always find some ray of sunshine in my storm to pull me out of muddy waters. Those things are my rock, my friends, my future...and I hope tobe other people rocks to help them when they need help, keep another person from committing suicide, even for a little while. Cheer them up when they're down...yeah, it goes against my whole point, but I can't help it....even if I don't know the person, I want to help them, sacrifice my own happiness for theirs. Wow...that was a lot longer than I intended

You may have good points, but suicide is still not the answer. You see, your problems are temporary (it's REALLY hard to look at it that way when you're depressed, I understand) and death is permanent. Life has a lot to offer.
I was severely depressed for four years and had attempted suicide twice. The first attempt turned out to be non-fatal, so I wasn't on the brink of death. After surviving my second and more traumatic suicide attempt, I was given a whole new outlook on life. I may be agnostic, but I felt that if there is a god, this god gave me a second chance. I decided to use that chance to live my life to the fullest with no negativity.
The answer to problems is right before us; the more we think negatively, the more we focus on those negative thoughts, and the worse we feel. You don't feel sad when you're thinking happy thoughts, and in reverse, you don't feel happy when you're thinking sad thoughts.
If you are severely depressed, a simple alteration of your thinking isn't going to work very well and it will be frustrating. So, one who is severely depressed should seek a counselor. I know that therapists have a negative stigma among some people, but when you think about it, there's nothing wrong with talking to a therapist. They didn't spend 6-10 years in university just to spew lies. They understand the human mind and with the things you tell them, they will help you to figure out what's causing your feelings and will give you healthy coping methods to go about these feelings.
Back on topic. The point is, suicide is not the answer. Human life is like a spider's web; if one part breaks, the rest of the web is affected. This simply means that even a person with few friends will affect the lives of others through their own death.
There are better ways of dealing with your problems than simply running away from them. I'm not calling suicidal people wimps, but I'm saying from experience and having survived that life is actually beautiful. I understand that there is negativity in the world, but there is also a lot of beautiful things; friendship, dreams, love, sunsets, music, and so much more.
To anyone who is suicidal or know someone who is suicidal, get help immediately. Don't let the problem persist to the point that the person or yourself is beyond saving. There IS hope.
