...if you had NO friends, NO money, NO job, NO family, and homeless. How desperate does your life have to become before considering taking your own life?

No, I've considered suicide when I was an adolescent - nearly everyone has - but never followed through. Now that I'm old and wise enough, I know that all these things are valuable in life: friends, family, a home.. Jobs and money are commodities however. If I had none of these, my life would not be desperate, I would be a hermit in the woods. I know I'm happy around other people, but I can function on my own quite comfortably.
I might however commit suicide if I was diagnosed with a terrible disease or lost my mobility permanently (i.e. legs, arms)... Some would say they'd kill themselves if their lover died or went away, but though I've found love, I know I'd live without it. I have, for 28 years. And if I were to die, I'd want her to go on for much much longer. Well, if she'd ask me to join her in death, in her will, I would..

I've always said that I would never have the guts to commit suicide because even if it's killing yourself, it's still you taking a life. But I also realize that I have no clue what it must be like to be that sad and to feel there is no hope of anything getting better.
I can right now safely say no, I would never commit suicide over the things you listed above, or for any other reason that I can think of, but how do I really know if I've never been in that position? I think suicide is what most people consider a last option. They feel there is no hope and they no longer can deal with the pain. People don't grow up thinking I'm going to kill myself one day, so I think rather or not most of us would care to admit it, deep down we may all be capable of doing this to ourselves.
One of my best friends committed suicide about five years ago, and it floored me. She had gone through some hard times, but never anything that I would have thought would have caused her to take her own life. But it goes to show that everyone handles situations differently, and what may make some of us stronger, makes others weak.

I'd suck it up and fix what i could, stick it out and quit crying about it. That's the key. I'd first find a home even if that meant going on welfare. from there, I'd do my damnedest to get a job and back on my feet, then if i was doing well, I would have met some people, maybe some friends along the way. I'd already be a long way from the streets. I'd be pointed in right direction at least.
Good things come to those who make them happen, or at least make things possible to happen.
Suicide is a cowards way out, and just a plain bad idea.
No one really cares that you're dead, you cannot get revenge or whatever, you don't change peoples mind, you just throw your life away. The world will go on, and you will be a footnote with an asterix. What a shame...

A really good friend of mine had a few problems, nowt too bad, just debts and gf probs. He hung himself on christmas eve as an i told you so to his bird. He had a son and so many friends he was really popular. Its just such a waste. If you had no money, job home bla bla, it dont mean its always gonna be like that. Could win the lottery the next day? Its such a selfish thing to do. I would never take my own life, no matter how desperate!

I hope this is a rhetorical question and you're NOT seriously contemplating suicide.
I'm not religious, but there must be a reason why we're born into this World? Not matter how desperate your life becomes, taking your own life is the easy option in my opinion.
If you are suffering from depression, then talk to your GP, he/she can recommend the right course of treatment or suggest some help groups. Whatever you do, TALK to people, there's plenty of people prepared to listen, you've just got to make yourself known, rather than 'suffer' in silence.
I'd have to be terminally ill and all the above you mentioned before i contemplated killing myself, even then I'd have my reservations.

I doubt those reasons would make me commit suicide. Maybe something else. I have a guilty desire to know what exactly will happen after leaving this life. I would kill myself out of curiousity to find out. Why should I have to wait until I'm old? I have no idea why I continue to live on this Earth. Something so far has prevented me from finding out the answer to that question about what's after this?

I wouldn't there is only one way from rock bottom and that is straight up. Some of the most successful people were at rock bottom before they got to where they are now. But I'm not a quitter. I have seen first hand what suicide does to a family. My grandmother did it and my sisterinlaws dad did it. And you can say "no family" but unless they are all dead then there is family.
Quitters never win Winners never quit!

Very good question. I have never been to that extreem mentaly but, money,job and homlessness i could handle i think. Having no friends and no family would be very hard and i think that could push anyone over the top. With so much councelling and help at hand now days I would hope the suicide rate is dropping.

realize that all of those things are tangible and be lost as easily as gained. You should at least respect yourself enough to know that tangible and material things cannot be and are not mans largest hurdle. Look out for yourself for that is the only one you can truly trust in this world. Know that there is plan for you and if you dont stick around long enough due to selfish pride then you could miss out on the miracles that await you. There is no forgivness for those who commit suicide. Stay true and in time you will perservere.

Ever wonder if theres more to life than all the solid, earthly things we can have like: friends, money, family?
Am sure there are. And those that find it, are certainly not gonna commit suicide.
