I still don't understand it. I've heard about so many people killing themselves lately, be it here or miles away. People younger than twenty-five, people who are twelve years old killing themselves. It's mental.
I have a very strong opinion about suicide. It's not worth anything, maybe it will only make it worse, who knows. But it's certainly going to make our family and friends' life worse. People who kill themselves are cowards, unfair and selfish, no matter how much pain they're going through. Ending our life because one of our family members died (eg. the designer, Alexander McQueen), because of a breakup (eg. a cousin of one of my classmate's) or because of bullying (eg. the twelve-year-old kid who's been talked about a lot over here), is not the solution.
Some people think it's a way to seek attention, never realizing that when they jump off that bridge, when they throw themselves into the sea, when they throw themselves onto the railway, everything is over. There's no going back. We can't float all the way to the surface, we can't fly backwards. We made a stupid choice with the goal to end our pain (or "pain") and, probably, a lot of people wish they had been stronger with their feet firmly on the ground.
What scares me the most is the fact that this is happening even more among my generation, it's a kind of fashion now. Teenagers and young kids who have the world at their feet, their whole lives in front of them, and they decide to just throw that all away without any gratification of being here in the first place. It's disrespectul towards people who were forced to leave and didn't want to. It's cowardice. It's unfairness. It's selfishness. What about our parents? What about our friends? What about everyone who helped us? Aren't they worth staying here for? Is it worth letting other people speechless, almost like zombies, after watching their cousin, aunt, uncle, brother's plain act of suicide? Is it worth destroying the lives of others to end our "pain"?
It isn't worth it.

Very well put. <3
ReplyDeleteI agree with everything you say but I think you have to forgive the people who attempt it also. Yes it's horribly selfish, but a lot of times people are in really bad places, they don't know how else to ask for help. Or they have tried, but no one took them seriously. I dunno, my brother has some problems with manic depression and I spent years being angry at him because he was so weak and couldn't get over things, but then I realized he actually isn't able to. It's kind of a disease more than free will.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely not the solution to choose though, and I agree it is a form of cowardice.
:/ i don't understand it but i can at the same time
ReplyDeletethat makes no sense but that's how i feel...
