Hell is a mythological location, nobody goes there.

The Christian Church has always taught that the only thing that can send us to hell is mortal sin, what John calls "sin unto death". The Church further teaches that for mortal sin to exist, three criteria must ALL be present - (1) objectively grave matter (the act must truly be gravely evil); (2) knowledge of the grave nature of the act on the part of the person committing it; and (3) full rational consent of the will. It is unlikely that a person considering the most irrational act of all, self destruction, is in a position to give full rational consent of his/her will. Therefore there is good reason to hope that such people through the mercy of God may be saved.
In any case, we are not in a position to make any definitive statements about who does or does not go to hell. God alone can make such judgments.

No. Hell does not exist. People who commit suicides go nowhere, just like the rest of us.

God's word plainly says, we are not to say who goes up or who goes down. The hell experienced during a suicide's life most likely is the cause of their actions. People are much too quick to point a finger at the sin of others but have blinders concerning their own sin. Jesus said, if we offend in one point, we are guilty of ALL. We cannot be perfect. That is why He came to LIVE AND DIE AND RAISE AGAIN for us. Dont forget, He didn't just die for us, He lived a perfect life for us. Suicide is not without forgiveness. Jesus said, I give my life, no man takes it from me, I lay down my life for you. In a way, He committed suicide for us. He had the power not to die but chose to die for us. Dont judge, Love.

No,I don't think so because they are sick. No one in their right mind is going to kill them self. Now the suicide bombers and those of that nature I do believe that they will go to hell because they are trying to hurt others not just them self. I don't think they are sick just hateful mean people who believe that their god wants them to kill everyone who doesn't believe in him. Poor people I feel sorry for them. Because they are probably pretty surprised when they get to hell and they are burning for eternity

According to loving, compassionate Christianity, Hell yes!

I would hope any true God would be merciful to person in so much pain and suffering that they felt death was the only way out. Anyone who thinks they would go to hell or that mental illness is the devil is sick and twisted.

No one can even be certain that hell exists, so there is definitely no way of anyone knowing who would go there and who wouldn't.

Yes, along with non-Christians, non-believers, the wealthy, the homosexual, the mentally infirm, anyone who ever lied, and psychics. In good company, in all honesty (that is, nearly every person alive today).
