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?

Overdosing isn't cowardly, the whole thing takes guts, whether its by using pills or not.
I think it should be legalised. Not very good at backing up my answers, as usual, but pretty much what you said, Kyz..
It's your life, do what you want with it, you want to kill yourself over something you think cannot be overcome, then do it. But it's just a waste. People should know nowadays how precious life is, or at least, can be.

Strangely ironic really. The fact that you think being a Christian is all about 'blindly following what is in the Bible', is what makes you the blind one, not us.

It isnt a personal thread, I'm not considering it now. I did once, in the past, when some majorly bad things happened in my life that I am not prepared to tell people on the forums.

Yeah, I was going to mention that. If you take too many, but not enough to kill you; you have liver problems for the rest of your life.

First you want to cheat on her?
Then you love her and take it all back?
Now suicide?!?
Make your mind up!
Making it illegal is quite pathetic really. Unlike robbing a bank, if you successfully carry it out, there's absolutely no chance of you getting caught in the future, although there's the problem that you may fail.
But just don't fail, it can't be ~that~ hard to fail if you think about doing it properly...
Making it illegal just scares the stupider people. They don't want to break the law and it stops them from killing themselves, which is probably a good thing...
Most people if given a second chance would most propably regret killing themselves. Many decisions like that are made in a moment without thought. I regret doing many things that I didn't think about, like when I get really REALLY p!ssed off I'll end up taking my rage out on something. I've smashed the keyboard here before and borke it. I regretted that because it cost me money...
I'n stopping now because my dog has just put her wet nose on my lap...
And it's cold...

I'd argue that anyone considering suicide is suffering some sort of mental condition, hence being arrested ensures they receive treatment.
Suicide is a way of avoiding certain things in life or the near future, in that instance it is the cowards way out as it shows that the person cannot tackle life, that they need help.
Far better to treat the causes of being suicidal than to waste effort legalising...

On the contrary overdosing on something like paracetemol or aspirin (easy to get hold of) is hardly an easy way out. As your liver fails as it tries to break down the drugs you will experience stomach cramps that will have you in a world of pain.
The amount of Christians is decreasing as they realise that religion contradicts itself endlessly and that science has disproven the lot of it.
The Christian Church is a gimmicky franchise. They have it perfect, they walk around with a plate and people put money into it, in return they get some cheap wine and stale bread.
Athiest here too.

I think people should think things through and find a better way than killing theirselves. It's not worth killing yourself at all, no matter how bad the situation is. (Apart from if your suffering in pain).
> Should it be legal?
They should never be arrested as it will only make things worse for them. They should be given help and should be looked after for at least a month, until they are better and don't have the mind of trying to kill theirselves.
The only ones trying to commit suicide that should be arrested, are the ones that try and take other peoples lives with them.
