"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?

I've never considered doing it but I have thought long and hard about the subject

Overdosing actually sucks

Because the drug... say paracetamol eats slowly away at your liver, very painful apparently.

Seriously condiered doing it, planned it and had a motive etc.

I am not talking about seriously considering, but at least a smidge of a thought.

Considering it.

That means, just thinking about it.

"Maybe I can kill myself now?"
"Naaaaaaa."

They've considered it, and decided not to.

I'll believe what I like.

I'm just stating what they SHOULD do, as I'm sure you guys would do the same.

Somebody my mate's dad knows jumped off a cliff. Survived. Dragged himself down the beach to the ocean (broken bones and all) to drown. They pulled him out. Then he tried to off himself in the hospital, can't remember how but probably by putting air in his tubes. Now he's permanantly brain damaged and will lie in a bed for the rest of his life. All this because of a woman.

And the lesson? If you're going to kill yourself - do it right. He has to live for another 30 or 40 years as a vegetable, unable to tell people he wants to die, even if it were legal.

Memo, you're pretty sick y'kno

YeY!
I win!
