"Suicide"

No, not a 'sympathy please' thread, just general views and stuff on the matter.

In America, I am not sure about England, it is illegal and you can be arrested for trying to kill yourself. I think this is wrong, you are in charge of your life and nobody else has the permission to keep you alive or kill you. I think that suicide should be legalised, it would probably prevent the number of people attempting suicice as a 'cry for help' thing.

Some people will say suicide is really pathetic and a cowards way out. I beg to differ. It takes a hell of a lot of guts to cut your own wrists or jump off a bridge. Overdosing is the quick and easy way to do it and perhaps is a bit cowardly but many other methods take a lot of guts I reckon.

Apparently 1 in 3 people between the age of 13 and 19 seriously consider suicide. A lot of them do so because of pressure from exams or parents or from bullying. I have been really depressed in life before and though about it as a plausible option to take, but I know I would never have the guts to do it. People use suicide as a threat to other people, they think that by telling people they are going to kill themselves that they will get sympathy and their lives will be fine again.

So what do you think?
Should it be legal?
It is an easy way out?

Yeah, as suicide is all fun and games.

What I hate hearing is 'suicide attempts' which is impossible. If you really want to kill yourself that badly, you'd do it, not 'attempt' it.

As for best way, I'd say jumping off the top of a massive building. You could have some fun on the way down - see how many flips you can do, what position you can land in, who you can land on etc etc. And you can peek in all the windows along the way.

So do I, I think it is just my personality as I don't have any major issued in my life anymore. I was depressed before for a big reason, but thats all sorted and stuff. I think getting depressed sorts me out though because after I waste my time dwelling no a matter, I can move on and forget about it.

Shut up, I get depressed a lot.

HA! We're talking about SHEEPY here, not me...

You can't kill yourself by holding your breath.

Although hanging yourself is a popular one...

And I can't believe we're talking about the best ways to kill yourself...

Define long and hard in your case?

That would probably be about 30 seconds..

Oh, and I just noticed another way you could define it...

Nearly put a ' there then...

Yeah, but I'm guessing the majority of attempts would be paracetamol. And the majority of heroin overdoses are probably accidental.

If you overdose on a non-conventional drug like heroin or something, your system just shuts down and you die high.
