Suicide is a waste of life. The problem that is happening to you at the moment may get better. If you commit suicide then you have wasted your life on something stupid. Always remember, many peple would kill to get the life you live.

I am not saying 'don't be concerned with your friend' but just here me out. Sometimes those not talking are the ones who really want to die. A lot of times when a person says they want to kill them self it may just be a cry for attention. Many people who try to kill themselves/succeed are not in the right state of mind when they do it, it sometimes is planned but i know from personal experience it sometimes is spontaneous, not that nothing leads up to it, but the actual act is spontaneous. Sometimes people just get overwhelmed an contemplate suicide and openly discuss it, but many times its temporary and they calm down and move on. You should always ask a friend how they are doing, get them to talk...be there, regardless if they appear sad or not.

To tell you the truth until all these wars and until my move from Canada i loved my life. I see now that this world is full of injustice and no freedom of speech. I really aint intrested into life anymore. I would love to die but suicide is not going to get me to a better place it will just put me in hell. I hope gods brings justice for i cannot take it. The worst thing is freedom of speech.

Well, i think most people when are under a lot of stress or have really bad problems probably think about suicide. Not doing it but thinking. I think most people will think about it at least 1 time in their life. If the person says it a lot, or is telling you that they ARE going to do it, then you need to talk to someone about it. like a consular or parents. somebody that can help. try to convince him to stop talking like that. since i have never really had an encounter with something like this i couldnt tell you exactly what to do.

If we're thinking bout the same guy JD then he just says he's antisocial and stuff. I know him for lil less than 2 years now and yeah, well, his girlfriend lives in another country and he's getting jealous when she goes out of the house etc. You know , like she's not sitting at the pc all day and talking to him. Also he wont go out of the house. Why? He just says he's antisocial but I think that the problem is that he just doesn't to go out. People, friends around him is what he needs.

I gotta agree with Buffalo on this. Sorta. Thinking of suicide is common for a simple reason: It's natural!

Why do we think about romance, sex love? Why do we lust for the opposite gender? Why do we think? Thats just how we're built

when we think, we explore our thoughts to find what seems ajar there. One factor is Suicide

Why else would you think about it? Look at it for a second, there is no true answer really, its a part of life and, theres a reason to it. It leaves so many questions for you to answer

it's a part of life, just go with it

Thinking about suicide as a passing thought and actually planning it out in your mind are quite different though.

Then taking it to the next step is again another thing entirely.

Before people actually carry out suicide, they will probably do a dummy run as it were, if this has happened. Perhaps cutting themselves for example or hitting themselves or other ways of hurting themselves. These people usually want to be helped.

Talking to a friend about feeling suicidal is another call for help. Just talk to them about what exactly they mean, what have they thought, what have they done. Perhaps point them in the direction of a professional. There are plenty of places that are trained to deal with people that are truely suicidal.

Hi,

The first thing you have to do is find out the reason why he is so depressed and when you do just keep encouraging him to move forward rather than warning him or telling him that he should not die, tell him that you would miss him and the fact that it would be pointless if he died and there are people who love him and need him.

If he ever tells a secret then encourage him more, let him know that there is someone whom he can trust. If a suicidal person realises that there is someone for him make him live for you if not for himself but first get him to try to live for himself.

Remember a person who feels like giving up on life is when they are lonely, unloved, insecure or sometimes misinterpreting messages.

I have seen people who threaten suicide coz they want attention or to TEST you. Man they are freaky.

A teacher of mine had told me once that only weak willed people commit suicide and that the true test of life is to overcome hurdles of negativity,

So Just remember one thing find out the reason and yo and his other close trstful friends must supply with what is deficient in him whether it is love or understanding or plain attention.

Remember a suicidal person needs somebody to love him.

Cheers, Best of luck

That's the mindset that got me past my most recent [a week ago] suicidal thoughts. It came close this time too...I was off looking up ways to do it without much pain/effort...

It's a nasty thing once it consumes your mind.
