Get the fuck out of our Gene pool? You Sir, Are an Asshole. Negative rep me if you will, However I think the Positive I get will outweight it.
I really didn't want to chime in on this topic, But seeing the over abundance of ignorance, I felt compelled to share a piece.
It's funny how you are keeping your blinders on and ignoring the reasons behind the actions of this individual. Take me for example, Few years back I lost an immediate family member, One that taught me everything I know, Pushed me to become what I am now, and was always there for me when I needed them most. When I lost them, I lost my will to live, and I one night struggled to keep myself alive, But someone reached out and picked me up, and allowed me an avenue of recovery, and I thank God every day for sparing me.
You need to understand millions of people suffer from depression, Whether it be from not having anything their entire life, struggling, Losing their mom, dad, wife, daughter, etc, Terrible accident. When an individual is in this state of mind, They are that much closer to cracking and calling it quits, Yet theres also millions of Assholes out there who provoke these people into believing they have infact reached the end. Sometimes a reaching hand goes a long way with these people.
Only idiots neg rep somebody for disagreeing with them. I've been called sick, asshole, sad, ignorant, and other things for my opinion, and that's fine. I threw my less than nice opinion out, and people threw their less than nice opinions about me out. I've actually only gotten one neg rep (and I suspect I just jinxed that), but that doesn't bother me.
I know (knew) two people who committed suicide. One did it after recently becoming disabled, and the other did it after a relationship broke off. There may have been deeper reasons that I have not seen, as I was not thuroughly involved in their lives, but as far as I knew, both of these people had a family, friends, a house over their head, and a future. (Mind you, the one who got disabled had been paralyzed from the waist down. I'm sure life sucks when you lose your legs, but it doesn't warrant taking your life.)
I have trouble sympathizing with people who don't have damn good reasons to take their own life.
As far as I know, you were homeless, I now know you lost somebody extremely dear as well. That alone is something I can easily sympathize with moreso than somebody who kills them self over petty shit, though I still look down upon it.
As I've gathered, the teen in question who committed suicide on webcam had some serious depression problems.
I'm 19 right now. I have a lot of trouble dealing with stress. My senior year of high school was the most stress ful time of my life. There were a lot of moments where I would get depressed and think I was never going to graduate, and I actually did contemplate suicide. I started reading about other suicide stories, paying more attention to my surroundings and how my life really is, and you know what? I realized I have things fairly good.
I got a house over my head, good folks, and even if I didn't graduate, they wouldn't have thrown me out on the street or anything. I realized I wasn't the only guy with problems, and that's when I picked myself up and realized that suicide is for the hopeless and the stupid.
I'm sorry guys, but I simply cannot take a look at suicide and feel anything other anger and hatred towards those who take their own lives, especially those without a damn good reason. Think of me as you please, ignorant, stupid, whatever. I haven't been all over the place, I haven't lost a close family member, my best friends are still with me today, I have no real world experience with the kind of depression that leads people to take their own lives, but I know that as an individual, that it is up to me whether I enjoy my life and live it through the best I can, or throw away like so many others have.
If I lost a close family member tomorrow, I cannot possibly know how I would react, but the only thing I DO know, is that they would never forgive me for taking my life just because they abruptly left mine.
My friends and family would never forgive me for taking my life, and I would never want to put them through the hell of knowing I more or less told them all to fuck off. That is how I feel about these people. I feel as though they are telling anybody who cares about them, that they do not care about you at all.
A relative I never knew committed suicide, long before I was even born. To this day, his parents still suffer from grief. Thanks a lot asshole, you just ruined your parent's lives.
