Yes it is cowardly. *Tried it and failed*

Yeah. It's also fucked up to talk about people who comitted suicide. One of my friends did and a teacher said she "didn't approve" of us mourning. And my friend told her to shut the fuck up.

Committing suicide is completely cowardly and it's one of the cruelest things you can ever do to your freinds and family.

I was suicidal earlier this year due to depression and hopelessness that would not go away. It had nothing to do with other people. When people are suicidal, they are not thinking of anything but wanting to escape the pain that is their everyday life. Sometimes people feel like suicide is their only wait out of a terrible life. They aren't trying to hurt the people they love.

It is not cowardly, just some people do not think there is any better solution. I agree that it is the cruelest thing anyone could ever do to their family and friends though.. :/

Comitting suicide = a quick path to Hell. It may or may not be cowardly, but it's definitely stupid bravery.

Well, not really. Treating people badly isn't really being a coward, isn't being an asshole.

Yeah, I agree suicide isn't cowardly but neither is treating people badly.

Suicide isn't always triggered by abuse or bullying. Some people are clinically depressed for little or no reason and feel like suicide is the only answer to their sadness.

I was bullied a lot in my first year of high school. I thought about killing myself but I decided it would be too easy. So when I got pushed in the halls the next time I stood up, smiled at the dude and said "Why don't you watch where you're going you dumb motherfucker?" He kicked my ass but left me alone after for some reason. Basically my point is that suicide is a permanent solution for a temporary problem and it should never happen and it's only done by people who either don't think or just want to take the easy way out. Just my opinion anyways

But sometimes suicide has nothing to do with other people's actions. I was facing a brutal and terrible depression earlier in my life. I was suicidal. It had nothing to do with bullying or other people at all. So in my case it wouldn't have been taking the easy way out. I don't think killing yourself is ever easy.

If you're truly depressed then ending it all would be easier than fighting through it. I know it's a hard choice on killing yourself because humans naturally want to survive, but putting up with bullies or depression seems harder in my opinion.

When you're depressed, it seems like there is no end to your sadness. It feels like you will feel that way for the rest of your life, so at that point, ending your life just seems logical to you so you don't have to suffer for 30 more years. You don't see it as being anything that is possible for fight through. It may have been different for other people, but this was my experience with depression that led to being suicidal.

I wouldn't know because I was bullied but not actually diagnosed with depression so it's probably different. All I'm saying is that it must be a lot harder to live with those thoughts of futility than to give in to them

By temporary problem I was referring to bullying, which rarely lasts. I agree with you that a very serious illness that won't go away can make people totally lose hope, but bullying is almost always going to get better.

Is this a hypothetical situation? I've never heard of someone being bullied for a disease. I don't walk up to a bald ten year old and laugh about them having cancer, nobody does.

Well I hope you don't feel depressed or suicidal because you obviously have friends and family who care about you. A few assholes on a bus shouldn't change that. Ignorance is very bad in situations such as this. Oh well I'm not a therapist and I doubt you posted that to ask for advice, I just wanted to say that in case you were seriously hurt

It's cowardly, but you have to have some balls to kill yourself.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

I can see it both ways. On one hand, I can't even imagine what one would have to be feeling to think that suicide is the only answer. On the other hand, I've seen how a suicide can tear families apart and all i can think about is how selfish someone would be to leave behind a mess like that. Well I've never really been in waiter position so I guess I cant judge.

With suicide I think it depends on the situation. A distant cousin of mine killed himself because he had gotten his family in a lot of debt and wouldn't be able to pay it off. He left them with that burden of not only grieving but the debt as well. I thought that was extremely fucked up. I would definitely categorize that as cowardly. In other situations, like abuse/bullying, I wouldn't say it was cowardly to kill yourself, but I do think that makes you weak minded. And for the people that do the abuse/bullying, cowardly wouldn't be the first word I'd used to describe them. More like despicable, I think it's disgusting that someone would take it that far, to make themselves feel better.

People say suicide is selfish to those around you but maybe those very people are selfish for expecting you to go on living a miserable life

by Anonymous 11 years ago

There will always be people in life who will go out of their way to make you miserable. You can either be depressed about it or stand up for yourself. Happiness is a choice; even if your Circumstances are not

In many cases, depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain that has nothing to do with personal choice or the actions of other people around them.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Yes I agree. But that's not what the post referred to. If someone kills themselves based on other people, that IS cowardly.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

I think people that bully other people are assholes, not cowards. But something so few people realize is that suicide is an act of desperation. When someone is so depressed that they're suicidal, it's like (for lack of a better metaphor) the dementors in Harry Potter. You feel like you will never be happy again. You feel like you will never be able to escape the crushing weight that is your everyday life. You aren't thinking about how your mom or your brother or your best friend is going to feel. You are thinking only about how much easier it would be if you were dead. You wouldn't feel so hopeless anymore. And another reason that I had that I was going to commit suicide was I felt like I was a burden to everyone I loved. I felt like I went through my day to day life acting the part of a girl who everyone loved. That girl was not the person I really was. I thought I couldn't keep up that act much longer and then people would realize they didn't really love me at all. I've since sorted all this out, but people really need to be more considerate and understand that no two suicides are the same. You cannot judge people, especially people that were in pain enough to take their life.

Suicide is cowardly.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Whether the reason is depression, bullying, or anything else, I believe that people who kill themselves are cowards. Life is NOT a single emotion, situation, or experience that will never change and it doesn't matter how strongly a person feels that way in a single moment. I have always known this is true no matter how many times I have felt otherwise. If someone feels like their life is so hopeless, that the emotions or experiences they are going through right now will NEVER change, they are WRONG. The most powerful characteristic of life is change, in my opinion. Think about it, was there ever a negative emotion that has never changed your whole life? People who commit suicide do not realize this. They are cowards because they weren't brave enough to live until their life would have changed again. There was a time when they weren't feeling the way they are now and a change brought them to their current state of mind. Why wouldn't it change again? The only reason they dislike the way they feel now is the fact that they have experienced something different in their lives. They should know there is something different out there to feel or experience and that life is not unchanging.
