Wow this is such difficult stuff!. First thing is a lot of people don't have sympathy for the sufferrer who commits suicide to escape unbearable pain because of religious views!. While everyone should have the right to think what they want, I believe it is just plain ignorant to base your opinions on such weighty matters on what your priest tells you to think!.

I also don't think the suicide should be judged as selfish or whatnot!. This is a person in mortal anguish, fighting demons inside his head that no one else can see, hear, feel or identify with in any way!. Think of the isolation that creates for the sick one!.

The brain is a powerful thing and just as it can help us have productive and happy lives, it can be just as effective (unfortunately) at destroying any hope of success or sense of worth in life!.

Then there are all kinds of situations people get themselves in- situational despair like running a child over with your car by mistake or losing a son to cancer- that may be more understandable to us somehow, but still we cannot enter their brain, feel their chemistry firing off hatred, anger, fear, despair, worthlessness, and so how can we even begin to judge!.

I am not in favor of suicide in any way!. I want to see people get the help they need and continue living their lives in a meaningful fashion!. But we shouldn't judge those who have gone harshly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

To tell you the truth I could see your friends brother being more at peace!.!.!.Ive struggled with a horrible depression for 8 years and still do!.!.!.!.Many times in those eight years ive thought about killing myself, because I thought about why I had to live in such a gloomy world all the time!.!.!.It always seemed to me like I wanted to live in the world, but the world simply did not want to live with me!. Every now and then I would have these intense pyscological spells where i would just feel like i could no longer live!.!.!.like "this is it, im done, no more life"!.!.!.!.!.Although I do not know the reasons why your friends brother commited suicide!.!.!.If he were like me!.!.!.I could see why you would think he would be more at peace!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its just there way of dealing with it!. Because there is no answer and seems to be no reason for it loved ones left behind tend to get angry at the person who has done it, i know it sounds strange but after a while they will then get mad at them-self for not preventing it!. Its common, anger at the one who is gone, anger at them-self its because when someone suicides there are so many feelings!. On the other hand they may be very selfish people and have no respect for him at all, someone has to be in a bad place to suicide and i think we have no right to judge them for it as you are right we don't know what they are going through at the time and i also think that people who call people who suicide gutless need to pull there head in too!. I hope he is at peace now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

In my opinion, there are two different types of people who commit suicide: 1) Those who do it out of selfishness and laziness and 2) Those who are truly ill and in despair who truly believe that suicide is their only option!.

I believe that the first type is damned for eternity!.!.!.because they chose to take the easy way out instead of "bucking up!." They are selfish because they put their close friends and families through all of that pain and anguish despite the fact that they could have gone on and lived a healthy and productive life!.

I believe that the second type is lovingly embraced by a deity (insert your deity's name here (: ) and can truly be at peace from that point on!. I don't believe that we have a harsh, condemning, overly judgmental deity ready to damn us for mental illness or deep, deep despair!.

I believe that there are many people out there who are not meant to live out long, full lives here on earth!. I believe that we each have many different lessons to learn in life, and some of the suicide cases are for that reason!. It is a harsh lesson for the families and friends, but in the end, if they pull together and survive, they will have learned a very valuable lesson that will be beneficial throughout their lives!.

Take gentle care!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I really don't think that people who commit suicide are selfish!. I don't think they even thought about what they will be putting the people who cared about them through when they committed suicide because they are usually too depressed and lonely to realize that there are people in the world who cares about them!. It is just a religious thing that other people believe, but people committing suicide going to 'hell'!? no way, I mean they are already the ones suffering, why would they go to hell!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There are two sides to suicide!. Those who are extemely religious and cannot comprehend the closure associated with suicide and those who are open minded!.!.!.!.such as yourself!.


The open minded folks know that there were probably valid reasons and he probably is at ease!. Unfortunately for those who are religious they belive his problems still exist and possibly he is a coward for taking that route!.

Either way it's a shame his soul is gone, but even if he was still here his sould was gone (mentally)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem!.!.!.we've all heard that statement!. His family is angry with him because they are hurt that he did something that can never be corrected or taken back! But while they are visibly expressing their anger, they are hurt, sad, confused, and feel betrayed!. Suicide leaves so many unanswered questions and that's what makes those who are left behind feel so helpless!.
Your friends brother felt the need to take his life because he was suffering from internal turmoil and choose not to share it with anyone!. While suicide is a choice, it's also a very selfish act!.
Death is inevitable for everyone, but suicide takes away a loved one by their own actions and that is what makes family and friends not understand why they did what they did!.!.!. so while his family is clearly angry, I'm sure they miss him and are deeply hurt as well!.

He took his life, but the lasting pain, hurt, anger and emptiness his act signified will remain for quite sometime!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Some people are in so much extreme pain in their lives that no one else besides them can ever possibly understand how they feel!. And, once they get to such a desperate point where they honestly feel that nothing in life will ever change for the better, and that there pain will never ever get better either, but perhaps worse as time passes, they commit suicide because at that point having no life at all is better than the life they have, for them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My personal opinion is that everyone should have the choice whether they live or die without being persecuted for it!. Your brother must have been suffering greatly for him to take his own life, I understand his friends must be very upset right now and they are expressing this as anger!. But at the end of the day he probably just wanted the pain to end and couldn't see any other way forward!.

I'm very sorry for the loss of your brother and I hope he is at peace now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My personal opinion is that if you commit suicide, you go to hell, not heaven, which I believe is not being at peace!. I know that some people feel like suicide is the only way out!. I would hope that your friend's family is looking at why this boy felt like suicide was his only option!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

One thing first he is NOT going to hell!. Some people were just not meant to be on this earth!. Must have been going through so much to have to take it to such a point!. I think its very selfish of them to put their family though it , but that does not make him a digusting person!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm sorry to hear that your freinds family is going thru this!. My opinion is not what you are wanting to hear I'm sure!. But I feel that what he has done was selfish and I'm sure he was hurting to do what he did but killing yourself is not the answer!. At peace!.!.!.!.hopefully he is!. But I'm not sure about that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah I know what you mean :]
Most people think he was sick because he would dare put his family through it!.
Okay well thats not really MY view but oh well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
