What Drives People Toward Suicide? - Page 2

In my P.O.V, I don't think people who thinks of committing suicide are weak in mind but weak in self-confidence and trust. There are a lot of people who commits/or wants to commit suicide with very different reasons, maybe because of pressure, thinking of being an outcast, idiotically thinks that s/he is worthless, needs attention and even break-ups. And what's the very source of this? they lack trust for themselves. They might be thinking that they can't do this and that so their worthless , what's the use?, no one appreciates my presence, no one loves me and etc that leads to this horrible act of deliberately ending his/her life, and that's just sad.

And no I don't think suicide can be justified even with a reason to end his/her suffering. I mean there are a lot of things to do in life and life is not that long for us to do everything that's wonderful. Maybe that person is exaggerating his/her bad side and instead of enjoying what s/he is and have s/he wastes it by ending his/her life.

Then for example you made a mistake it doesn't mean it can't be mended. Things can't be undone and erased but it sure can change for the better.

Once I also thought of suicide. lols, well not really suicide but I once hoped to get kidnapped and the kidnapper will kill me then I'll get resurrected into a different being with different life but now it changed since I pondered over the moments that I enjoyed and the people around me enjoyed and realized that it's a waste for those moments to end up that easily.

I think people commit suicide because they're not enjoying life. They haven't enjoyed life for so long, that they forgot how to live it. If you forget about how to live life, why live at all?

i don't think people who commit suicide are weak minded. i think that they go through life.. and find that they have no reason to live. they find more sadness and pain then happiness and joy.

In high school, I knew a girl who had gotten pregnant. :11600:
Her mother force her to have an abortion. :11300:
(Back in those days, abortion wasn't as acceptable as it is today. Neither was teenage motherhood.) The doctor gave her a shot and told her to come back next day. :12971478:
When she was sleeping, pain woke her up. She found the fetus in her bed. :10800:
She had hard time coping with this. Hard to describe the pain and horror that I felt when she told me. Couldn't imagine what she was going through. She had tried many times to cut her wrist. :11200:
Her story made me think of why some people go toward suicide. The person has problems. Suicide is seen as an easy solution. End life and the pain goes away. :11200:
But, with life, all things are possible. :11942980:

For some to say people are weak in the mind is the reason they commit suicide, isnt completely true. Not to long ago in my city a man commited suicide because he lost his wife and 2 children in a car accident, is he weak in the mind? Also during 9/11, people jumped from the towers to avoid being burned alive, I guess they were weak to, eh?
