i think about suicide sometimes, but i no its not the answer to my (or anyone else's problems)
It actually is an answer, c'mon, you don't have any problems then. But it isn't necessarily the _right_ answer.

I have to agree with Emmi, its a permanent solution for a temporary problem....
and yeah it's definitly NOT the right way, but it is a way....

...and i also think, suicide is NOT a selfish actiion,
I mean, yeah if you killed yourself, you'd probably hurt alot of people...
but i think its even more selfish, to want somebody to stay, only to avoid this pain....

some people drink alcohol or do drugs when they get hurt
...other peoplel slit their wrists....

You have no idea what it takes to do that, and yes, maybe it is cowardly.
And fact is that its no permanent solution....
but in the moment you feel the pain, it takes all the bad emotions away, at least for some seconds....
as long as you dont know the reason that causes peole doing this,
STOP judging them....

Agreed. They live who want. If you don't wan't to live, then don't. Maybe my opinion may sound a bit harsh, but oh well. You live for yourself, not for others.

Some people genuinly are depressed and some people just do it for attention. I know someone who tried it infront of me and if you were genuinly depressed you wouldn't do it infront of your mate. He does it for attention, we just call him an ass. His life is pretty sweet and he knows it.

Indeed. The attention seekers annoy me. If you are depressed and suicidal, you have some hard time admitting it. And you don't show your cuts in public, that would mean embarrasment, but to the attention seekers it would mean pity and attention.

Yeah. When I used to do it I used to wear long sleeves and stuff all the time to cover it up.

i hate it when other people will be like "it's wrong!" "how could someone do that to themselves?!" or "that's so selfish!". they dont know what's going through the person's mind. maybe cutting does help them in some way or another? who is anyone else to say it doesnt? and isn't everyone else also being selfish if this person is completely miserable and hates living to say that they need to stay alive because they would miss them or it would make them unhappy? im not saying that all depressed people should just go commit suicide or anything, but it's not really anyone else's place to decide or make judgements on it.

and no, im not a cutter or suicidal or anything. but i have known some people who are/were so i kinda know what i'm tlaking about with listening to what they tell me and having my own opinions and what not.

I agree with that, because when I used to do it i used to do it because I got so angry or upset with myself, and it used too calm me down, so I used to think it did help me

the people who really need help and who really have the problems are vert good at covering up and not letting anyone see their cuts, nd dont seek attention or dont ask others to pity them

I quitted because I'm trying to set a good example to Kat nd convince her to give it up. It was really hard and I know it'll be a lot worse for her. She needs to do it...it's pretty much the only thing that is keeping her withing reality....If she didn't do it, the angels would've taken her by now, she'd be 100% schitzophrenic.

suicide and self mutilation is, in my opinion, for attention seakers. people complain about their life being sooo bad and they feel that they don't deserve to live but i think that it's complete bullshit. think of all the people that have lost someone or are dying, they have damn good reasons to not wanna live, but complaining about your parents not liking you or you THINK that they don't is worthless. if your parents don't want you in their lives then fuck them and move on. you don't have to harm yourself because of it. some people have been through worse shit and they don't cut themselves. just get over your grief and try to move on. it's not worth it to moan over your life. if there's a problem, fix it.

It makes me sick that cutting is "cool" now. I hate it even more that so many teenagers pretend to be depressed. My aunt shot herself after years of hell and I had to sit and watch as she fell apart. guess what...it's not cool. I realise that there are certainly a lot of people who genuinely feel that way but it's talked about now as if it's a hobby. When i here people announce that they cut and start showing off about it I just want to scream cause I just feel like they're mocking the people who truly are hurting. no idea if any of that makes sense but it's how I feel

i dont think cutting is just for attention seekers, yes alot of them now are doing it for that reason, but i was a cutter, actually still am (once a cutter always a cutter as people tend to say) i cut cuz i was depressed, my parents yelled at me, and alot of shit went wrong, no1 really knew i cut, and i did hide them to the best of my ability, but people have found them and i had to talk to counslors behind my parents back, they never found out. i dont do it for attention. i havent in a while actually and im trying to keep it that way, thats also what friends are for. most of my friends were/are cutters so we help each other.

thats just me though, everyone has their own opinion on this subject

Every single thing is wrong if you think it that way. I haven't read the whole Bible, so I can't say anything about that 'going to hell if you commit a suicide'. In some other religions killing yourself for something for the others is an honourable thing to do: But if you do it for yourself,you're damned forever.
