Alright, so no offence, but I really don't like this quote. I personally think you should go through the pain and sorrow others have gone through before doing this. It isn't heartless to commit suicide, it means you have literally lost the will to live. Ever known that you own dad cheated on your mother for THREE years? That you're slowly losing everyone? I know you knew were going to get hate from this, but everyone has the right to share their opinion. The thing is, you can't judge just like that. If you experienced it first-hand I think you would know. You don't know these different scenarios and what people have gone through.
Next time, think before you do something like that.
YOU! my bestfriend has anorexia, bulimia, depression, anxiety and OCD, and shes suicidal. YOU for thinking that shes selfish for wanting to die, youre the selfish one you cold hearted , THEYRE NOT TRYING TO PROVE ANYTHING, ITS NOT FOR ATTENTION, they legitimately DO NOT WANT TO BE ALIVE, because people like you have DRIVEN THEM TO THAT!!!! YOU for even posting this quote, you have NO IDEA what its like to feel like that, feel like no one would care if you died, feel like there is NO WAY OUT. honestly, i would be suicidal myself if my best friend did kill herself, but i would NEVER, EVER call her selfish, you . YOU HAVE NO CLUE. yeah, this quote IS cruel and heartless, just think how many people would have gone into a depressed episode because of your ridiculous "opinion", i know for a fact if my best friend saw this, she would be suicidal days. YOU. next time, keep it to yourself.
imagine your dad leaving you at 2 yrs old. you watched your mom get beaten. you got beaten. you watched your moms ex bf kill himself. a boy broke into your house after stalking you for 3 yrs. i culd go on. YOU. im not suicidial but u have NOOOOO idea what other ppl have gone through. so just a plan YOU ..
I understand that depression is a serious medical condition. I don't understand why bringing that up has anything to do with my quote. I never said that people with depression should stop thinking this because I know they can't. Granted, I didn't say that people with depression is the exception. But I can't change it now.
@Random; That is really sweet(: I'm happy that you did change your mind, or at least rethink it. :]
Why aren't I allowed to share my opinion? Why must I be silenced because of my fu­cking opinion. All of you guys have your god damn opinion. I have the right to share mine. I could say that you all should keep your opinions to your self. But this was something that I needed to share. Yes I get that I sound like a bi­tch. I'm not sorry for it. It's something that had to be said. And if I am a bi­tch for sharing my opinion then so what! I'll be the bi­tch. I won't cover up what I think. I'll be straight forward about it. I'm not saying that people shouldn't feel the need to commit suicide. But there's no need to! Honestly, what are you trying to prove by putting a gun to your head?
So you're saying that even people who get and have constant flashbacks shouldnt want to be able to silence them? Sure you have your opinions but sometimes it's better to keep them to yourself. Sorry.
I have mixed emotions about this quote. I completely respect your opinion and i see the point you're trying to make. It struck a chord with me because when I was 4, my father jumped off a building. No note, no warning, absolutely nothing. It left a huge scar in my family's heart. We moved away, away from that place because it hurt just to live in the same city as that building. It hurts to think about it. But I also think that the way this was written was a little raw and aggresive, which can be good in stirring emotions. I understand what you're saying though, sometimes I get so at my dad. He was such a cheerful man, had a normal life. I'll think, was I really not good enough that he wanted to end his life? I'll be so mad that he felt so down that he was willing to hurt me and my family. I know je never meant to, but I'll just be so angry and sad and confused and hurt. I see what you're saying, amd I think it was really brave of you to make a quote like this.
I have a special kind of hatred for people who find suicidal people selfish. When someone is clinicly depressed and ready to kill themselves that is a serious mental condition. Just as serious as cancer and aids. And if someone is literally that tortured that they want to end their life, you're selfish for wanting them to go through that torture. As well as that you should reflect upon yourself, because most suicidal people feel like no one loves some, so maybe if people like you would stop telling suicidal people that they are selfish and tell them that you're there for them if they need you, they wouldn't kill themselves.
i agree with this quote and i totally agree that you can speak your mind and say what you want, don't get me wrong; i respect that. but i also feel like for somebody going through a really tough time, this could possibly (this may be a little far fetched) push them over the edge. i totally respect your opinion and all, i'm just saying that there is a time and a place. i know if i saw this a month ago i would have freaked out because of the place i was in at that point in my life. i just feel like people have to be more careful about what they're saying because even though what you're saying is totally true, some people could get hurt by it..
&+ @Sarah - That's a frightening moment and I'm sorry that you had to go through that. And it does relate to the topic of suicide. It's good to let everything out.
It's my right to share what I feel, is it not? Everyone has the right to share what they feel and what they think. So why am I limited to only saying will make people feel better? This is what made me feel better, letting everything out. I'm not going to keep it to myself because then I will keep on bottling things up. I have enough of that.
okkkaaaay. yes every famiily has some sort of problems but then again no family is the same. some are way worse than you can ever imagine trust me ive seen it. so honostly you have no room to tallllk. and you do not know how people feeel everyone feeels pain differently. this is just wrong im sorrrry. but i know some people that have tried commiiting suicide and one person that did. so please keep stufff like this to your self. thankks.
Next time, think before you do something like that.
But you DID call them weak, tell them they can't handle what life throws at them, call them selfish.
So what are you saying, you hypocrite?
@Random; That is really sweet(: I'm happy that you did change your mind, or at least rethink it. :]
You realize depression is a medical condition, not some angsty little teenager about life?
I want you to live my life.
Then we can talk.
Then we can talk about how selfish suicidal people are.
And you're not the smug selfish one here at all, are you?
