It was considered shameful both for the person committing suicide and for the family.
The law had only recently been changed to decriminalise it.
Before then you could be imprisoned for a failed attempt.

dont know but i cant see how it could have changed!? i live in a small town in the uk, and a girl i knew commited suicide last wednesday...causes so much heartache for everyone.
i always thought that people who done this, were in fact taking the easy way out of lifes problems but i was so wrong. They arent taking an easy way out, theyre taking the only way they can see out. people cry out for help before they turn to suicide, usually though, the uk are so money mad that the goverment and there fundings or lack of fundings end up costing the life of loved ones.

It was shunned. Thought to be a serious crime. Going against God's wish.

It used to be illegal, failed attempts could land you in court.
