I have had 3 suicide attempts, the first over money troubles, the second when I was diagnosed with cancer, the 3rd, when repressed memories of horrible abuse surfaced. I have also been a suicide counsellor, and have helped a lot of people. When someone is feeling suicidal they are overwhelmed by their problems, whatever they may be, suicide attempts are generally cries for help, the ones that don't want help, usually give no clues, and end up completing the suicide.
I would like to know why you are asking. If you are feeling suicidal, then please talk to someone, a crisis line, a friend or family member, a counsellor/teacher/priest, anyone. If you are worried about someone, talk to them, listen to them and suggest they do the above. If you are looking for info, google suicide, and you should get lots.
I am so very glad, I am still here, and I hope I never get to the point of suicide again. Life can be harsh, but each of us has the power to make it a bit better, and there are always people who care and are willing to help.
Good luck, I hope it works out for you.

A friend of mine committed suicide. A lot of bad things happened to him in a very short space of time. His daughter was abducted and was never found. She was 11 years old when last seen and waiting for the school bus. He felt the police were not doing enough so he was carrying out his own investigation. People thought he was a bit obsessive and he even got unkind press. Soon after her disappearance he went through a divorce. About a year later he had a girlfriend who dumped him Christmas Day. At his funeral, the press went gungho and despite pleas from family and friends they showed little respect for their pain or his memory.
During the wake, people talked a little about what they felt were the reasons for him taking his own life. But for me, nothing seemed to fit. People can and do cope with their personal tragedies, or at least most people. For some people, like my friend, the depression of loss and grief is debilitating. I can't personally make a moral judgement about suicide because I simply don't have any comprehension of it on a personal level except that it must be the result of the worst form of pain.

I have some stories, I'll start at the beginning
I heard that most people survive their "suicide", some of them several times.Among my relatives there are some people that like to threaten and blackmail people by saying that they'll commit suicide.They sometimes even had attempts like sleeping pills or slitwrist and goodbye letters of course making sure that they are not really in life danger.An entire family: mommy daddy and teen daughter saying to each other that they would jump out the 9th floor window like they would say hello.
I had another uncle, I didn't know him.He had several attempts taking pills, and then he died of liver disfunction.He was an unhappy man I heard.
Then there was another aunt and uncle, I didn't really know them either.They were both alcohlic and when the man died of liver dysfunction the wife just stayed in the house and drank and drank and didn't eat nothing and then she died 2 weeks later.
Yeah I know ..funny family but then I live in a funny 2nd world country where some people lead funny lives.
In my highschool everyone was somehow obsessed with suicide but they were just talking.I think they thought it was cool.Young people sometimes like to draw attention to themselves by talking about it.
Anyway there was this kid that I didn't know I just heard he was nice and seemingly harmonic, but some time after graduation he hanged himself, and nobody expected that.They say that with people that really want out it's impossible to save them on the spot.It's a sign though if they suddenly get cheerful after a long time of blues and withdrawal.
There was another kid at the local highschool, he killed himself with carexhaust in the car cause he didn't get accepted for medical school which was his dream.His parents kept it a secret that they actually managed to get him admission but they wanted to make him work harder.The kid didn't know and killed himself.What a ****** up situtain for everyone.
Then there was this highschool in a city not far from here and there is a bridge over a highway.Some kid jumped off from there.Then another, then another...Soon it became the cultic place of suicide and the city government finally got fed up with the bad reputation so they planted poplars and bushes underneath and when a someone has survived the fall there was no more suicides.Before the trees grew up noone could survive a fall from there.That person had a bunch of broken bones but nothing serious, he recovered and later said that he is glad he stayed alive.This story shows how people like to do things in company cause all the suicides were of the same school and even teachers have died that way.Plus there is many convenient kill-yourself places in that city but still they all chose that bridge.
Moralising: I think suicide is a personal choice.We are responsible not to ruin each other's life but the responsibility regarding life and death is on the one who makes the decision.
So it's wrong to play suicide to ask for help and especially to manipulate others.Those who attempt suicide but make sure that they are rescued are playing a very dangerous and dishonest game.I know people get desperate at times.I just think it's something that puts too much pressure on those who care so it's wrong.It can make caring people turn away for ever when it's done too often. (I never did it, and I won't do it in the future either) When a person does that he is playing with another persons life.
Euthanasia: assisted suicide.My thoughts on this issue is that we all have a right to choose.But the only time this should be performed is if the person wants it and has no other means of killing himself, like he cannot move from the neck down.Any other times, like cancer people not wanting to live, they should just do it on their own and not put this weight on others.Yes even the elderly dieing lady from Holland can go and jump out the window or smthg if she really can't wait to die.So it's a messy sight but a clean situation.Especially if she doesn't tell anyone so that people would have the responsisbility of stopping her.
That's all the wisdom for now.

A friend I had commit Suicide about a week ago. Nobody knew why, didn't leave a note or anything. He was just quiet all the time... He had a lot of problems and was very sad, he just didn't share it with anybody. That why a lot of people commit suicide, they feel they have nothing left and they have no one to talk to. Thats wrong... If you ever feel that way, just try to talk to somone. You can ruin so many lives by taking yours. It's a very sad thing. I try to be there for all my friends and loved ones.

As a law enforcement officer in the past, I can tell you that
every person whose suicide I responded to invariably had
their fingers dug into their throat behind the rope.
That showed that they pretty quickly decided they didn't want
to do it, but it isn't possible to save yourself that way, your
weight makes it impossible to relieve the pressure on your
windpipe.

I have thought about it but what could be worse than killing yourself to get away from the hell that is your life only to find you are really truly in hell if you go through with it.

Here's my story of suicide, I have been different since before i can remember. I never really fit in with any one group starting from my first years in school. I had many bad experiences as a child... not of physical abuse or anything. I was just picked on in school and didn't have many friends. Things like finding out the guy you had a crush on just asked out your good friend. So on. Around the age of 13 i started getting into mild sexual relationships with older guys, i tried smoking and drugs for the first time. I was basically rebelling. At 14 i had sex for the first time, with a guy i thought i was in love with who happened to be 16 at the time. Things had been good up until that point, but after that he started getting jelous and controlling and i broke it off. He started stalking me and calling me names online and on the phone. I was so upset that i took half a bottle of tylonol. At the time i felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest and someone was stomping on it with metal cleats. When i started shaking like a leaf and feeling like i was going to pass out, i got scared and called kids help phone. They forwarded me to the nearest hospital where i had to get the nurse to tell my mom what i did because i was too ashamed. My mom rushed to get me to the hospital and all i rememeber is shaking like a leaf and them making me throw up. I remember seeing my parents the next day... my dad was crying which was odd... i'd never seen him cry before except for maybe once before. They wanted to know why and i said i didn't know... i was still feeling uncontrollable sadness. I ended up going to a pych. ward for teens to help me get better... but once i went back to living my normal life i ended up making several attempts after that... getting caught by people during most of them and rushed to the hospital. and then ending up in a different psych. ward... I had two doctors tell me i was spoiled and manipulative. I don't think that was the case.... i was scared and hurting very badly emotionally... i didn't understand how to control my emotions and i would bottle everything up until i would explode and that's when the suicidal thoughts came. I ended up going to therapy for a while and then decided that i didn't need the pills anymore... i felt nothing but blah on them and they took too long to start working. Eventually i just learned to deal with things as they come and don't ever let a guy or girl for that matter make you lose control of yourself. You make the choice, you can choose not to do something, no matter how easy it is to follow the familiar pattern. I knew i had to make the choice to get better and not continue the destructive path i was on, burning bridges for myself and pushing away everyone who truly loved me.
that's my story
