There are lots of things God didn't explicitly tell us not to do, but that doesn't make them right. You can usually get a pretty good idea of what makes him happy and what doesn't by other things he says to us. I suggest you read through some of your Bible, particularly the New Testament, and see if you can figure out whether God has a reason for you being here, or whether he doesn't really care all that much.

Why didn't God write Thou Shall Not Commit Suicide in the bible?
What good would it have did, everyone breaks the other laws that He has given you.

Actually, God made it very clear when he said "Thou shall not kill" that taking a life, whether someone else's or your own, shows disprespect for the life God has given. This is emphasized when Jesus dismissed Judas Iscariot and after Jesus' arrest, rather than repenting, Judas took his own life showing blatant disregard for God's provision to ask for forgiveness for his error. When Peter denied Jesus three times, rather than take his life, Peter, being humble, repented and asked forgiveness. In return, Jesus himself pardoned Peter's error.
As for why you're still alive -- perhaps you should value the time you have to be alive by working in "the field" which Jesus said would require additional workers as this system draws to its close. (Matthew 9:37, 38) This would include taking in accurate knowledge about God and Jesus so you can save yourself and those who listen to you. (John 17:3)

The catholic cult's rules against suicide have nothing to do with morality.
1. Back when the phony rule was invented, they couldn't control or make money off of dead people. Now that they can, you can bet that rich people who leave money to the cult could call Jack Kevorkian and get blessing from a priest.
2. Dead people don't have children. You can't outpopulate the other guys if you're not screwing and baking babies. More babies = more cult members = more money and power.

I only know that God gave you life and he can take it away anytime he wants. I also know that God wants you to be with him. Therefore if you are still alive I believe that God has a purpose for you. Read Phillipians 1:19 and following. I'll be praying for you.

God wrote that Thou Shall Not Murder.
In my opinion, suicide is self-inflicted murder.
It depends on your opinions. Yes, life gets tough. Sometimes you have to wait it out and everythinge ends up being fine.

we are all on this earth for a reason. you have to pray to God and ask him what he wants you to do with your life. but no there is no scripture in the Bible that says that thou shall not commit suicide but there is a scripture in the Bible that says that we are to keep our bodies holy b/c our bodies are God's tample....

I do not know...Maybe no one thought of it at the time...BUT an acquaintance of mine was a police officer....anyway, they say he commit ed suicide...Now we don't know for sure...But he was a religious man..My opinion only...I feel God does forgive suicide with a reason...I would feel it would have to be a pretty damn good reason...But who honestly knows!!! the family has had to let it go...so no one would ever bring it up anymore..Could cause the family great pain...Who knows i ask myself why am i here??

One of the ten commandments, very widely mistranslated from the Aramaic, is: "you shall do no murder." This covers suicide, murder of the self, which is the literal translation of suicide.
