I think it passes through every ones mind at one time or another. It did for me many years ago when I was a teen. I was using a lot of drugs, involved in a street gang and hated my life, myself and my future.
I didn't attempt anything because I knew that if I wanted something to change in my life, it was up to me to do so. I also realized that committing suicide is a very selfish act in itself as well. By that I mean, you leave all those around you scarred and grieving for the rest of their lives. Oh sure, you may not think that anybody loves you when you are contemplating suicide, simply because you are not thinking clearly at the time. But there are so many people who do love you and care deeply for you.
I know of several families who lost loved ones due to suicide and it completely destroys the family. They seem empty, lost and always so unhappy they appear near tears at all times. It's very very sad really.
Suicide is never the answer and it is a quitters way out of a problem that isn't worth dying over to begin with. Live is short enough, and far too many good things yet to see and do, to give it up by my own hands.
I'm hoping this is just a curiosity type question and nothing you are seriously contemplating. If you are considering it, please e-mail me at Bluefire9137@yahoo. I'm a straight shooter who is happy to listen.

Yes. My home life sucked, at school I was teased and taunted mercilessly, and had few friends who were brave enough not to care that they were hanging out with the uncool fat chick. I didn't do it simply because I loved my mom, siblings and friends too much to hurt them for even a short period of time by doing it. Shortly after I turned 19 I got so tired of being depressed and wishing that I were dead that I made a vow to God that no matter what happend and how much pain I was in I would never commit suicide, and asked that he help me get rid of whatever was causing those thoughts. I still get depressed sometimes, but since I know suicide isn't an option for me it's easier to push those thoughts out of my head now.

Many times. I have just had failed attempts. Also I have been to a funeral for a close friend who did commit suicide, I would never want to put my family (especially my mom and dad) threw something like that. I have seen how many people lives's it effects and how the hurt is just un-bearable. Suicide is the worst way to hurt someone... Also, every time I think of killing myself, I just take a look at my horrific scars (that I'm already embarrassed about) and remember the embarrassment and how I don't want to add the that. I don't like to take drugs for my depression ( I am manic depressive) but sometimes I think I should, I just don't like living life like a zombie... so I try to control "my downs" so I don't get to a suicidal point...

Yes. i destroyed my life by cheating on my wife and hurting her more then I could ever imagine I could. It was a family friend which hurt her to the core. It was the worst thing I had ever done in my life, The only thing that stopped me in the end was ingrained religious beliefs. The box cutter stayed on the nightstand of the hotel room for three days.

Yes, the urge to kill one self can happen to anyone.
This desire can surface due to low self esteem,
unaccomplishments, lack of love etc....
What stopped me when I had that desire was the
fact that I realized that we all were born with a purpose.
We are all unique and we all have something to
contribute to life. Life was not given to us by choice.
It was given to us as a gift from God. So what right
do we have to end it. Let He who gave it take it away.
Life is a short trip away from Heaven.
So enjoy the journey. Not everything in life is full of roses.
But make the best of what life can offer.
Seek God and His Justice and all else shall be added on to u.

Yes. Many times. What stops me? The pain involved in the attempt, and the possible result being that I may not succeed, and my life would be even worse.
