Think of the person who likes/loves you the most. What would you committing suicide do to them?

I wonder if the forums will appear in the news...

Why is it that the younger people are, the less they appreciate life?

There's always an option, there's always a chance.

No, she won't. My biological father committed suicide 22 years ago, and pretty much every day, I think of him, and I feel guilt and pain every time.

I can't begin to understand where you're at right now, John, but I do remember being 13 and feeling like I had little to live for. Trust me when I say that nothing you're facing now is permanent and it will pass. Death does not. It is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Whatever your problems are, no matter how alone you feel, suicide is not an answer. Please seek help through one of the groups listed above.

John-117, I am on the phone with Natalie from the National Suicide Prevention Hotline. She would very much like to speak with you and hear what's on your mind. Their number:

1-800-784-2433

She would like to see if she can help you in any way. Just ring them up and ask for Natalie; I've given her the most brief outline based on what you have posted here.

Eh, I don't know if that was such a good idea. If I were John, that post would scare me off.

It makes you feel like you're obliged to speak to them, and then you get nervous and chicken out.

I'm not trying to freak anybody out, I just want to move this discussion to a place where people know what they're doing. We all mean well, and I'm honored to see so many Orgahs trying to respond productively, but at the end of the day we're amateurs. I'd like for John-117 to speak to someone who actually knows what she's talking about.

I agree. You guys mean well, but it aint gunna help.

I'm not claiming to be an expert but I've stopped two people from doing it in the last 6 months. Not me alone, but it helps.

I'm gunna PM him. Take this afternoon off work and see if I can talk to him.

It would help if you would tell what is making your life so miserable. As for now, I cannot really say anything meaningful. Also, I would like to know your age. If you are under 20, then life is just beginning for you. Shame to waste it now. Very defeatist to waste it now. Plenty of children/youths have horrible lives. Millions lead lives far, far worse than yours. I know I am not being very kind right now, but as you can see, the lack of knowledge of the details of your life makes helping difficult.

I guarantee that when you get older, to about 30 or 40 years old, you will look back and be thankful that you have not given up on living today. If not, you can always commit suicide later

. No joking here. The beginning of one's life should not be a time to contemplate suicide. If your life does not improve by the time you are forty, at least you have given it a try. But you seem to be too young to die yet.
