k, u no who this is- i hope. k to all of the others, this is not one of her "emo" friends, im just a normal person who loves her life! k, first of all- why would you do such a stupid thing!!!! u died ur hair black, wen did u do that, i dont remember that. i didnt no bout the other stuff either! k first of all idk y lexy would do a thing like that if life is hard enough she can call a child protection agency and report it. Real advice here too. Something lexy needs to do is that she needs to get some friends that are positive and make her feel like she can be happy too not depressed or anything. an answer to suicide is that is when we feel like no one cares and that u feel like everyone walks all over you and you get repetations that you dont like (like emo, slut, those kinds of things). I would know this because i have been through a tiny stage of that (not too major i would have never gone through with it). The best thing you could do for those people is go to them with open arms and let them express wat they are feeling and stuff. I know lexy and she is an absolute sweety (in a weird kind of way- more that she is awesome) and i think that she just needs support and everything. My first link is one where you can help somebody who is thinking about commiting suicide. The second one is for depression. The depression one is just so you could know more about this topic, the suicide one actually gives you advice to help someone.

I don't understand why anyone would want to commit suicide especially a teen. No one or anything could make me want to take my life. Life is way to short to end it yourself. I guess some people have ideas that if they do something to hurt themselves it will some how resolve all of their problems and make them feel better because they are depressed. Really suicide is a very selfish thing to do. It means that this person is only thinking of themselves and no one else. Does this person, realise who much it will hurt their family or anyone in their lives? No, they don't think that far. Instead the person who is in pain, should go to the doctor and get help with depression medication and therapy. Really this is the only way to help a person who feels helpless but, no one is really helpless as long as their are doctors around and people who care about them. Please tell your friend that you care about them and they need some help. Be a listening ear for them and continue to not pass judgement. It's times like these when you really know who your friends are and who in your family really cares. It's the people who are there by your side. My daughter has tried to commit suicide and I can feel your pain. I hope everything works out for your friend.

Teenagers in these days are underneath an excellent quantity of stress. School is more difficult, there is a ton of bullying (now not handiest in man or woman, however at the Internet), mum and dad are too busy to become aware of and take a look at to aid, and all people appears to be going off in specific instructions. I suspect that the purpose a few young adults to over the brink is that they're lonely, do not think they have got someone to show to, and simply do not see every other means out. A lot of young adults who strive suicide do not quite imply to kill themselves. This is notably actual of those who take drugs. Sometimes, a suicide strive is a scream for aid, their loudest and so much emphatic "Please concentrate to me!!" Unfortunately, typically the strive succeeds, even supposing that is now not what they quite desired. If you've gotten a pal or sibling (or your self) that's considering finishing all of it, you must SEEK HELP! If you have no near peers you think you'll believe, or in case your mum and dad are side of the difficulty, uncover a further grownup who has been useful ago......a trainer, a instruct, a pal's father or mother. Any of those persons shall be worried, and can wish to aid.

I'm 15, and often thought about it. About doing it.
I`m deeply in love with a guy who would never go out with me nor like me.
Several times I`ve fallen into a light depression and someday`s life`s just not worth living.
The only thing that keeps me from doing it is seeing him. Because if I do kill myself, I won`t be able to see him anymore.
Also I want to travel around the world, and that`s the other thing that`s kept me.
I understand life`s beautiful but sometimes.. it just dosen`t seem so.
And I guess that`s why we do it.
I`ve often took pain relief pills to cure the pain that goes inside my heart, but sometimes I take more than those suggested on the directions.
I figured... if I can`t live WITH him, then why live?.

Some people do it cause they were hurt really bad and never want to feel it again some do it cause they lost someone they really loved or they feel like people don't care for them and think i should just kill myself now so no one has to worry about what happens to me any more

#1: Teens believe its cool and that every else does it!
#2: Teens feel that they go threw too much stress so they want their lives to be over
If you see anyone that wants to commit suicide, be their friend and try to understand their problems

i would assume that they just feel alone and outcast. and then becuz of the fact they are called "emo" probably makes them feel more alone cuz people leave that group out a lot. just becuz they are different people are mean to them, and all they really want is just to be accepted!
