Not being rude but I'd say, goodluck and hope they like the feeling of killing themselves as I think, killing oneself is the most stupid and insane thing to do. Those are desperate people who lack attention and must be seeking for it. I'd feel sorry not because they killed themselves but sorry for not thinking right.
This statement says to me that you have no true grasp of what suicide entails or the emotions that cause it. It's easy to say. "It's a permanent solution to a temporary problem." True, but a depressed, irrational mind is in such dire pain they won't begin to think that. Imagine feeling so horrible about your life that you can't go on. Not everyone has the fortitude to keep going when they see no hope. Not everyone has someone who will listen. Even in good homes with caring parents, people frequently hide their emotions out of shame or fear, I posted this months ago and it's now being discussed.
I'm still reeling over the death of my daughter. She had leukemia, and very little time left. Something happened that caused her to end things early. The doctor, gave her no hope, and her pain was so severe, she was unable to think straight. She just wanted to sleep, but in her weakened condition the pills stopped her heart and she died in my arms. I was in denial at first and then angry. Her boyfriend broke his arm hitting something and the entire family was in shock. Maybe she meant to kill herself, or maybe it was an accident. All I know is that three weeks later, I'm still not coping well and cry all the time. You can call suicide stupid, but until you're in that emotional place, none of us really know. I've wanted to go with her more than once, but wouldn't do that to my son.
Did you know that women tend to kill themselves in less messy ways than men because they don't want someone to have to clean up?
Suicide is complicated and to be judgmental, just says that you really don't understand that part of the human psyche. I don't approve at all, but the why is more important that the,
how could you do that to your family. Read every word in that link and then make callous comments. If it's about attention seeking; why does someone need that kind of attention? It's all very sad.

The effects of suicidal behavior or completed suicide on friends and family members are often devastating. Individuals who lose a loved one to suicide (suicide survivors) are more at risk for becoming preoccupied with the reason for the suicide while wanting to deny or hide the cause of death, wondering if they could have prevented it, feeling blamed for the problems that preceded the suicide, feeling rejected by their loved one, and stigmatized by others. Survivors may experience a great range of conflicting emotions about the deceased, feeling everything from intense emotional pain and sadness about the loss, helpless to prevent it, longing for the person they lost, and anger at the deceased for taking their own life to relief if the suicide took place after years of physical or mental illness in their loved one. This is quite understandable given that the person they are grieving is at the same time the victim and the perpetrator of the fatal act.
Individuals left behind by the suicide of a loved one tend to experience complicated grief in reaction to that loss. Symptoms of grief that may be experienced by suicide survivors include intense emotion and longings for the deceased, severely intrusive thoughts about the lost loved one, extreme feelings of isolation and emptiness, avoiding doing things that bring back memories of the departed, new or worsened sleeping problems, and having no interest in activities that the sufferer used to enjoy.
I'm an extremely strong willed person who gets upset and then moves past it and finds ways to conquer my grief. I'll never be the same, but I still have things I want to do with my life, I won't end it.
My physical pain is 24/7/365- I refuse to let it change who I am, but that's just me. How do I decide what's right for someone else, it's not my place, is it ?
