Today, I told my new boss to wish his daughter a happy birthday on my behalf, as I overheard him saying it was today. Turns out she committed suicide three years ago. FML

at least you didn't buy her a gift.

#20 what you really mean is "DAAAA FAAAWK???"

no what i really mean is that i want to be dead aswell

#25 don't say that, nothing is worth taking your own life over :( For what it's worth, I'm sure it could be worse. :)

i agree. my life could be so much worse but it could also be better. besides we are all going to die eventually so it might as well be sooner rather than later

26, there are valid reasons to commit suicide. Like, having a ******-up life for as long as you can remember. 19, the internet will not show compassion to you. So I suggest that you 1) think about your life and the meaning of it 2) have a talk with friends and family or 3) go to a psychologist. Since this life is the only one we get, you should better think very good about a serious decision like suicide. A friend of mine committed suicide last year. The big reason why I still have difficulties with his decision, is because nobody expected it. He was the happiest student in the world, always laughing, always making fun. So, there are two options that can explain his decision: A: he faked all of his happy, joyful life, but thinked well about the suicide or B: he really was the happiest student in the world, but committed suicide because of one single painful day. I still don't know which option I prefer. The lyer, who had a ******-up sad life, but knew what he was going to do. Or the friend I know, with the happy thoughts, who rushed into a stupid decison.

there was a time when to me death was the only option and because of not taking enough pills the first time and not lighting the belt one more notch the second time I am still here. I commend the young woman for having the heart to see it to the end. at that point in her life the only release was death. its deep when you think about these people that have done it. it takes a lot.

meh when I feel like killing myself I just smoke some weed or get drunk :/ there are a lot better ways to deal with depression though

Talk about illegal activities you do on the Internet, that sounds smart.

Personally, I don't have a single problem with illegal activities as long as they don't hurt other people and their property.

tryttyryr- I know it doesn't seem like it, but things will get better. Suicide isn't the only option for dealing with your problems. I know it may seem like the best option now, but things will get better. Suicide is just taking the easy way out and not facing your problems. I know that's a difficult thing to do, but one day in the future, you might very well be glad you didn't kill yourself. 29- See I disagree with you. I've got to agree with 26, that nothing is worth killing yourself over. But hey, that's a personal opinion, so really, we're all right. And also, I'm very sorry for your loss. I know you probably didn't bring it up for sympathy, but nonetheless, the loss of a friend is hard. =( 43-34 might just be from another country, and might be of legal age for both substances. Not likely, but still plausible. And in any case, it's their decision to talk about what they do online.

63, I once saw a documentary about a child who wanted to die. He had spend his whole life in a wheelchair, wasn't and would never be capable to move, eat or drink. He would also never have a social life, a girlfriend, a job. He had all the time astonishing pain. If this isn't bad enough, he also knew he would only live a couple of years longer, till his fifteenth or something that young. He said that if he was capable to commit suicide, he would have done it long ago. So he wanted euthanasia. But the doctors weren't allowed to do it. Very extreme example, but there really are people outside who's life is so terribly ******-up that it never will become allright.

#19. Suicide is a horrific thing. You should get help if you're selfless enough. Listen, on April 17th, 2010 I found my boyfriend hanging from his closet. He too, wished for death. He, I'm sure, had all his reasons. Unfortunitly, while he thought he was all alone and his life was so hard (and it was hard) he failed to realize anything beyond his scope of sight. At his funeral there were hundreds of people. I'm sure he didn't know how many people really loved him and would've helped him had he given them the chance. All suicide does it kill you and make everyone else you leave behind feel all the horrible pain you were feeling. I wake up everyday and cry or wonder why. I'll never be the same. I would've done anything for him, had he just told me he needed help. Please don't hurt everyone around you. I know life can be tough but that's what makes it beautiful. I hope you find something in my pain that'll change your mind. If so, then atleast it makes it worth dealing with.

64 - euthanasia is very different to suicide. Suicidal thoughts can be awful, especially if the people closest to you that should be the ones to protect you decide to ignore it rather than help, but committing suicide is not worth it, life has its ups and downs. Think of the people who you might meet, people that you will trust and maybe even love, that never will know your existence because you took your life. Those times that are hard pass by and make you stronger, but they only really pass when you face your inner demons and work on moving past those things that frighten and hurt you. Suicide might mean that you don't have to look inside and evaluate yourself and what has occurred but it also means that you don't get to do all of the things that you could have if you had worked on those issues and gone on to live a fulfilling life.

people who are depressed usually have great lives but they just don't see it that way and it not there flat they just feel shity.

'euthanasia is very different to suicide. ' No, it's not, not when the person himself chooses for it. Dead is dead. Euthanasia is just a more proper way to do it.

ok so to everyone saying suicide isnt worth it or whatever i never said i wanted to commit suicide i said id rather be dead. and to the people who said i need help well i want help but im only 14 and my parents dont want to get me help because they say its just a phase.

That's because it is a phase for the majority of teens who wants to commit suicide. Even I have been in that phase for a couple of years. But then I met my boyfriend, and everything became allright. But, phase or not, it's always better to seek help. In my country, there is a suicide-callcenter, where people can have a good, serious and relieving talk about their problems, depression, wishes to be dead... Maybe there is also one in your country, so go search on the internet. A good friend that will listen carefully to your problems is also a great help. If you really want professional help, you'd better find a job (or use your spare money) to pay for it. Here it's about 30-50 euros per session.

i would pay for it my self but money isnt the problem. my parents always want to know where i am 24/7 so i cant just be like im going out and then go get help because i would iff i could. and i dont think its a phasebecause i was depressed and suicidal at a time but now its just like i came to the realization that theres so much pain and suffering in my life that i might as well be dead but im not going to kill myself. and there are a lot of good things in my life and i know that but i feel like the bad outweighs the good. who knows though maybe this is just a phase and that everyone thinks like this while in the phase...

That's true for many people. Alot of times the bad outways the good. That's life! You're not unique, nor alone. I struggled through the same thing. First, I wanted to kill myself, then I just didn't want to live, then I just felt like a walking corpse. If you go to school, talk to your teachers about it. I know alot in alot of countries the teacher will have to make a referal. Or talk to your school psychologist of you have one. If you truely want help, you male that more important then abiding by your parents ignorance. Sometimes you have to be willing to do anything to save your life. No one can do it for you. You obviously want someone to help or you wouldn't have written anything on here. Please love yourself/family/friends enough to save your life. You're worth it. If no one has told you today that they love you, even though I don't know you, I love you and hope you find your way. It's worth it, I promise.

Yeah you're right! Nothing's stopping you, go for it!

Get your friend help immediately. With or without his permission could save his life.

Why do you people keep saying the OP deserves it for eavesdropping
