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?

In what ways exactly?
I have had my fair share of experiences myself, so I'm not going to doubt religion. I believe in Religion myself, yet at the same time I always like to find answers- whcih is why I turn to science.
> In what ways exactly?
The Bible states God made the world (In 7 days, it says it in Genesis - the first bit)
Science 'proves' that the world was made by the big bang.
The two cannot co-exist. There has to be a true and a false, at least in my logic.
