Do you think someone that commits suicide is a horrible person, no matter what?

Question

Even if they cannot stand being miserable and crazy in this world? If they can't take it anymore, that doesn't mean they're weak, they just can't handle what they are feeling and going through. Right?

Answer 1

No. they just lost some guidance. If someone had been able to help them earlier that would have been nice, but in the end they wanted to "get out" because thats what they wanted. And it is unfortunate no one was able to help them. It doesn't make them a horrible person.

Answer 2

In the last 1 1/2 years I have had two people committ suicide. One was a 21 year old girl who had many problems and while her Mother and younger brother were in Hawaii, she hung herself. The other was a neighbor that was a 16 year old boy who did the sam thing. I think he was lonely. All of the other kids in the neighborhood hung out together but he was not a part of that group.. I am certain that both of them had attempted suicide before being successful. I am still sad that these two young lives will never reach their full potential and that they was such sadness that this was what they thought was their only way out. No these are not horrible or weak people. These were hurting people who had no hope. Unless you have been there, you cant imagine what life was like inside their heads.

Answer 3

I think someone who commits suicide is a coward. Life is tough, it comes with hurdles of different sizes and unless you go through all the emotions you won't experience life and value it. Yes, there are times that life gets so hard, that the only way out seems to be suicide, but keep in mind that there is a way out everytime. The way out is talking to people and expressing your feelings. If that doesn't work, change locations, move away from what is causing you pain and start over the way you want to. Do things you enjoy doing and don't care about what people say. Try to figure out better ways to deal with the pain inside, and slowly but surely you will feel better. Also, try to enjoy the simple moments in life, like icecream on a cone in a park.

But , know that committing suicide isn't the answer. People who commit suicide are just scared of living, and don't realize that after every hard time in one's life there is a moment of happiness and bliss.

Finally, the idea committing suicide, may make one a coward, but know that there are ways to persevere and come out as a stronger individual.

Answer 4

People who commit or try to commit suiced have a lot of problems and it doesn't make them a horrible person. If you know someone who has done it and people are saying they were horrible it's probably because they left people behind who loved them and those people probably don't know what he/she was going through. I wouldn't say they were weak, they just didn't know how to ask for help from anyone which is sad. If anything, feel bad that the person never got any good help for his/her problems and trust that they are now in a better place and most likely regretting what they did.

Answer 5

Wanting to commit suicide does not make you crazy or a horrible person. Having been there myself, people normally want to commit suicide because they are in terrible emotional/mental pain and the only solution they can think of is suicide. They believe that no one can help them, that they are a lost cause. It doesn't have to be like that. My parents tried psychiatry and antidepressants on me, neither of which worked. The first step is to talk to someone, anyone, you trust. A childhood friend, a coworker, a family member, anyone. But the important factor is that you have to trust them, otherwise you will not open up. You also have to want to live. Believe it or not, things will not always be bad. I turned to writing to deal wih my suicidal thoughts. Everytime I felt depressed, I wrote everything down, from why I was feeling sad to who I thought was responsible for it. No one saw that notebook except for me. It took me about 5 years, but I'm over my depression and suicidal thoughts. Believe it or not, your family and friends do care, they just don't know how much pain you're in. You have to be the one to open up the communication.

Answer 6

I don't think they're horrible at all. If they can't handle what they're going thru they can get help. The options are many besides suicide. However, to each his own. At one time in my life I contemplated suicide but I saw the ridiculousness of it. I saw that I have people who care about me and people that I loved enough to not make them suffer just because I couldn't think of anything better to do with my life than whine about how difficult it is. Nonetheless, they are people and they have a right to decide whether they want to give up or get wise and survive. It's their loss not mine. Whatever makes them happy although suicide surely won't.

Answer 7

No, they are not, and I can speak from personal experience. I had a very good friend commit suicide some years ago, and she was one of the most wonderful people you would ever want to meet. But she struggled with mental health issues and bad experiences in her past that she couldn't overcome.
I was very saddened by the final decision she ever made in this world, but still love and miss her dearly. I choose to remember her whole life, not just the way it ended.

Answer 8

No, i have to disagree with you. I do think that they are weak, because just like you said, they are not strong enough to face the problems of reality without knowing that some people are facing even harder problems, but still manage to live happily. Take the Japanese people for example, they commit suicide when they have messed up really bad in their jobs they try to hide behind suicide instead of facing the consequences of their mistakes and try to make up for what they did by working harded.

Just remember that mistakes should not make you weaker, but instead they should make you stronger and more capable of facing other problems in the future.

good luck.

Answer 9

I don't think they are horrible. I think they just thought it was what they had to do. If people want help with their problems their suicide attempt is just that -an attempt. If someone Really wants to end their life they will. That is the ultimate in freewill and self-determination. I think that is why most religions and governments say it is against their laws is because you are taking control of your own life away from them. Think Hemlock Society.

Answer 10

Suicide is a touchy subject, and I think that is because most people don't understand why people do it. I think that most people do it because they feel that they have no control over most aspects of their lives, and they have the control to end their life. I don't think it is a sign of weakness, but I also think that people that seek help are very strong. It takes a lot of courage to talk to a friend, relative, or health care professional about this. If you are having suicidal thoughts, you owe it to yourself and everyone who loves you to find help. Please.
