Suicide

[Stuff2Do]

well i seen this posted to a great freind of mine on another forum, and i thought some parts might be useful

Im no professional counseler but I dont understand why someone with

such a good head on their shoulders would think such a thing...Well i

guess at one time everyone has.. But you have great talent. I went to

your website..Not just impressive, very moving if you are an art lover like

myself. deviant art or something it said..very nice page.. Given life

doesnt revolve around your skill to build a web page and put out some

great art but all the potential you need to be happy is there.. I dont know

how old you are and if your only say 16 or so it may seem like 2 years is

a lifetime to wait to get out of the house and live your own life but trust

me its very short..Im 21 now and it blows my mind. I was 16 just the

other day it feels like. If people make you feel unwanted or not

appreciated, remember its not about them. Its about you! One day you

will move on to live on your own. Keyword there is *own*. We dont grow

and strive to live for someone else. We do it for our own.. To one day

have our own happiness and our own family and our own success and our

own self appreciation. Alot of this may not seem apparent right now but

when you get a few years older (I m assuming your a teenager) you will

be living on your own and loving the hell out of it... Its Total Freedom. Its

Total You! Someone else later in life could look at you and see you have

your own place your own family etc and say "you know what, Im proud of

you" Nice to have comments but only one person in your life that will be

your biggest fan, your biggest supporter,your best friend, and your #1

idol.. That person is you. Im not saying your all alone but you always

know that you will be there for you. You can always count on that! If you

were wondering if anyone cared? I think you got your answer because i

know im posting on the 3rd page. Its easy to see your liked.. I seen that

you said ppl outside the net dont like you or something.... Im not in the

Net and I judge ppl just the same on the computer or in front of my face.

So Net or no Net its very clear people like you.... If you dont take

anything else away from this message then take this. Here is your new

mentality. From now you DONT look at your carpet, DONT look at your

sidewalk, and DONT look at your feet. Because if you are that means

your head is down. Welcome to your new mindset. Its only ceiling fans

and treetops for you now. Keep your head up! Now that your cheered

up... Welcome Back

Most people who post about suicide in forums which are not specifically for discussing about suicide are attention whores.
Anyone who commits suicide is most likely to be branded an attention whore. There's no point, reason or credibility in committing suicide. Suicide doesn't relieve anyone of pains, it just increases it for the people around the person who commited suicide. They become the real victims. Think about your family, friends and other close individuals and then reconsider your foolish decision.

hes not an "attention whore", he is a good freind of mine, and i understand why, you all dont, i know the reasons why, he aint gona commit suicide, that was a reply as he was thinking of it many of times

That's a moving letter. I think too many people are co-dependent and live their lives waiting for approval at every step of the way. People are so complex, you would literally have to walk in his shoes to get the full picture of how he is feeling probably. Depression and isolation are horrible things to get through. He desperately needs to seek counseling. Your friend also needs to know that these feelings are temporary and his state of mind will pass. Environment can play such a key role as well. His family should intervene and get him the proper help that he needs, til he can get his life going again. They will probably medicate him until he can function better. The best thing that you can do is be there for him , and listen to what he has to say. I know in Texas if you admit that you are having thoughts of suicide the State will intervene by law and scoop you up and get you the help you need. People take Prozac like Tylenol these days. Xanax too! He needs a lot of support right now and is obviously a bright guy.

EDITED: I have removed the link/pic that is related to this topic. PM me if you would like for me to send it to you!!

It was posted by someone who was responding to a guy over at the Flamevault, if you have ever been there you know how crazy it can get at times. It's fun to use if someone is complaining and being obnoxious!

Ahhhh...Geekerati, please remove that image. Teaching kids how to kill themselves doesn't really help.

[geekerati]

It is strictly in fun Eric, if you would like for me to remove it, I shall. Are you being serious?! Let me know quickly! hehehe... my bad!

[Eric]

Well, I've seen very sick images on the internet over a long period of time, and they don't bother me anymore, but that image for some reason sickened me...Thanks for removing it.

The letter is moving and the post by GK is very good!

Paul, I never called your friend an "attention whore". I'm just talking about most people in general. They talk about suicide to stir up attention and draw sympathy. It's all sadism. However, if one talks about suicide in real life, then he or she should consult with a solacer. He/she needs someone to comfort him/her during his/her times of sorrow. Paul, try your best in helping your friend, give him the advice me and Geekerati posted here.(Not the "attention whore" part. The "victim" part) Even if he says he is not considering suicide "for now", you never know what people can do these days, so it's best to play safe and pass on some advice .

well, his parents are neglecting him, they wont treat him nice since he told them how he feels about religion, and them being religios etc etc, are pissed, art is the only thing that keeps him going
