HOW DID YOU DIE?
Edmund Vance Cooke (1866 – 1932)
Did you tackle that trouble that came your way
With a resolute heart and cheerful?
Or hide your face from the light of day
With a craven soul and fearful?
Oh, a trouble’s a ton, or a trouble’s an ounce,
Or a trouble is what you make it.
And it isn’t the fact that you’re hurt that counts,
But only how did you take it?
You are beaten to earth? Well, well, what’s that?
Come up with a smiling face.
It’s nothing against you to fall down flat,
But to lie there – that’s disgrace.
The harder you’re thrown, why the higher you bounce;
Be proud of your blackened eye!
It isn’t the fact that you’re licked that counts;
It’s how did you fight and why?
And though you be done to death, what then?
If you battled the best you could;
If you played your part in the world of men,
Why, the Critic will call it good.
Death comes with a crawl, or comes with a pounce,
And whether he’s slow, or spry,
It isn’t the fact that you’re dead that counts,
But only, how did you die?

Depends...most people prefer a painless death; I'd recommend Rx's (500 mg. Morphine w/ 300 mg. Valium) use with a glass of milk. Put on peaceful music, when you start to feel like you're drifting off, enclose a moderate sized plastic bag over your head with large rubber band to secure it around your neck.
Otherwise, you can slice your wrist's...better to do in bathtub! Make sure you slice from wrist to forearm----don't slice straight across!!
You can also just plain stop eating...the hunger pain's will subside in a few days and then your off to another journey...good luck!

what.
im an atheist, and honestly i'm scared about that. That's why i believe having a religion is great, you have some faith in something. To me, i dont know exactly "where" i'm going to go when i die, but not going to hell like that little christian girl said. :D
I'm a teen, and it's sort of pathetic thinking about death, so. WHAT OF IT!? woot live it all, ALLL!!!

however it is - knowing that you are at peace with God. He knows it though, whether you do or not.
If you want to die, then die to the world that you know. Make a new one. Make a new life. Something so far from what you know. African tribe or something.

stop listening to your heart.....do what everyone else tells you! Dress and act like everyone tells you....go to church.......say the prayers that they tell you to pray.......be a drone...........that's sure to kill you! And watch some Jerry Springer........that'll rot your brain for sure..........the rest will die sooner or later! Or just wait til it tis your time! LOL

What exactly is it that you are asking? If you are thinking about killing yourself, talk to someone. A trusted adult friend, your parents, or IM me and I'll talk to you.
