i was friends with this guy that ran a hotel. i used to go there and get smoke out of the machine before i was of age. he never said anything to me about it when we used to talk about how my day was going. well then in the newspaper i read an artical about him filming minors having sex and he would pay the minors to have sex with him and i guess he had a whole bunch of these tapes when he was caught for it. well the night the cops were coming to take him into custody he went on the back porch of the hotel and blew his brain out with a 12 ga shotgun. i never knew him to be like that cause i would just buy smokes and we would talk about how my day was going and then i would either go home or go to school. but boy did he have a 2nd life that i didnt know about and it was pretty messed up.

Yes, two friends, one very sick and depressed and one young and lost.
by GiraffeyedDonor-ish on February 23rd, 2008
Yes...unfortunately. One of my good friend's fathers. :(
by Meg is exhausted on February 23rd, 2008
I had a friend in high school who hung herself from a bridge and a friend in college who shot himself.....both were unspeakable tragedies and heartbreaking for the friends and families...especially since suicide can be prevented: reach out for help...you are worth it.
by Someguy on February 23rd, 2008
I have had two co-workers kill themselves in the last 4 years. They sat in the same desk one right after the other. No one sits there now.
by Firebrand on February 23rd, 2008
Yes I am afraid my sisters son shot himself as his father had done.
by Icebox April on February 22nd, 2008
Yeah. A girl I knew when I was little did this last summer. 15 years old, pregnant with twins, hung herself.
I could probably name at least 10 people around my age/from my school that commited suicide in the last 2 years. Maybe three.
I knew another girl who through herself into traffic, and 3 boys who shot themselves (seperate incidents. I didn't really know them, but knew who they were) as well. All between 15 and 19 i believe.
I also have a few friends who attempted, but didn't succeed. Obviously.
by DiSTurBiA on February 22nd, 2008
On that did, and one that tried
by We miss our girl! on February 23rd, 2008
Yes. Someone I dated for a short time did several years after the last time I saw him.

by xdarkxstarx on February 23rd, 2008

i also know many people who have attempted suicide but did not go through with it. it is very saddening to think some people feel that they have to do that =(
by CurvyBBW on February 23rd, 2008
Yes, both my brother and uncle committed suicide
by Doggie S on February 22nd, 2008
One of my co-workers committed suicide last year or two years ago, I can't remember exactly. Family problems, I heard. His mom didn't believe in his capabilities.
He used a belt to hang himself.
by Colt COAT of Justice on February 23rd, 2009
My brother after two attempts succeeded last year!
by Penal Colony is wicked marrying Andy on August 26th, 2008
Yes, two people. One was my uncle, who hanged himself when I was 16. I was pretty devastated.
The other was a kid I was friends with in high school. He was a brilliant student with a bright future, and hanged himself in the woods because his girlfriend had just broken up with him. Tragic and wasteful.
by learning 2 let go... on August 26th, 2008
yea...im in the Navy and when i was stationed in Japan this guy used a shotgun, while on night watch...and another time was a girl i knew, not too well, but she hung herself a year ago no one knows why though...and my homeboy just died of an overdose of pills and alcohol in july...
by Tallyman on May 4th, 2008
Yes, this kid who was nice to the younger kids in the neighborhood. He didn't throw his weight around because he was older. Polite to older people. A mench!
Well, his twin sister died and he killed himself soon after.
by Mellina on February 23rd, 2008
i knew a boy, i wasnt' great friends with him but he seemed pretty nice, kind of unsure of himself. well i knew him for around 5 years, we went to school together, apparently haveing to deal with abuse and other issues from his family, even though he had good friends he stuck the barrel of a gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger just this past year. i never would have thought he would do such a thing he was always somewhat upbeat. no one knew what went on in that head of his and now they never will. he was only 17 or 18 with a life still left to live
by Johnnyonthespot on February 23rd, 2008

by MissFerly on February 23rd, 2008
Yes. A family friend that was bi-polar. It was one of the saddest days of my life.
by CarcinomaAngel on February 23rd, 2008
No one who did it successfully, but a couple who tried. A girl who is still a close friend of mine, and a guy who is a friend.
by Littlebirrd on February 22nd, 2008

by KhaosGod Is The First Human Spectre on February 23rd, 2009
My uncle had been dating a woman for 7 years and he asked her to marry him many times she always said no then one day she said she was going to the grocery store but she came back married to his best friend. He drove his truck into a 200 yr old oak tree at about 90mph.
by Isha on October 1st, 2008
i tried to kill myself a couple of months back... i won't bother saying why.
all i know is although i am ashamed of having gone that far, i do know that it's one thing that helped me get out of my depression... i know this sounds totally paradoxical but i feel like taking that one step is what changed everything for me. i got better after that.
I'm not encouraging people to try killing themselves, obviously. I'm just saying there's more to it...
the people you guys know who committed suicide, you don't know what their last thoughts were.. it might have been of regret for what they were doing.
i also believe in destiny. people choose the path they take but the destination has already been decided. I'm not meant to die yet... that's why it just so happens i ended up with the absolute best doctors and despite the complications, I'm perfectly fine. i was released from the hospital just days after with no permanent damage...
by DudeLer 2 on September 2nd, 2008
I have known a few people who have committed suicide.
we were more like casual acquaintances.
by rigby on August 26th, 2008
my ex husband's little brother - he was 12 - hung himself - we dont know why - he was picked on a lot at school
by CoriRae on May 3rd, 2008
A friend of mine did about a year ago when his girlfriend broke up with him, another did last week for no apparent reason, and another tried two weeks ago but thank God did not succeed.
by thatshottyournott on February 23rd, 2008

by GreeNjaY2002 on February 23rd, 2009
My father, a month and 6 days ago. Overdosed... Still feeling the effects of it. I don't realy believe that people that do that truly understand the pain they leave behind...
by dueqtz on February 23rd, 2009
Yes, he used a shotgun to blow his stomach out the back of his body. He was 17 and his parents were strung out on drugs. He had a hard childhood and did not make it through. I hung out with him most of the summer at the public pool and had no idea what was really going on in his life.
by ShoulderPadQueen on February 23rd, 2009
no i have not.
by Shatzee coming back? on February 23rd, 2009
yes, 2 people. one was a very good friend from high school. we were in the 10th grade (1993)He put a gun in his mouth and shot himself. Nobody ever knew why as he had many friends and a good life. The other was my grandfather who was very sick and just didnt want to go on anymore. He shot himself in the head in his room while my grandma and uncle were in the house. My husband had an uncle who committed suicide when my husband was still a child. My husbands uncle had a bi-polar disorder that he was not taking his meds for and killed himself by taking off his own head with a chainsaw.
by shrinkess on February 23rd, 2009
Yes. It was a shock/surprise.I didn't see the clues. That is one reason why I got my degree in Psychology. I needed to understand.
by Starmaster on February 23rd, 2009
Yes, an alcoholic uncle who hung himself.
by NaVy WiFe on February 23rd, 2009
One of my friends in high school killed himself and my husband's dad killed himself when my husband was only 8.
by The Fool on October 1st, 2008
Yes. I met my soulmate, we moved in together 4 weeks later, he proposed. He was going through an ugly custody battle with his ex wife (we met long after they were over).
The day he died, he called me from the lawyers office and said that her affidavit was so vicious and predatory that he thought she was trying to get him to kill himself so she would get everything. That was the first time he had ever mentioned suicide.
We met at the movies that night after work. She called while we were in the movies and I told him to step out an answer it. He did. After the movies he was upset said that it was his boys calling him. He kissed me goodbye and we got in our separate cars. I expected to see him at home.
He drove to her house where he confronted her and hung himself off the deck.
by Occams Electric Razor on October 1st, 2008
My father did, he shot himself in the head when I was 15. He had always had issues with heroine and entanglements with the law and such, I guess he just couldn't take it any longer.
by Igor Kropf on September 2nd, 2008
Yes. Unfortunately, it happens more often than one would hope. One of the cases I know touched me deeply, as he had been my best friend in college, with whom I had lost contact, and he was a person I admired for his intelligence, his ability to interpret music, and his cheerful mood. It's hard to imagine what's going on inside people sometimes.
by philosopher-saint on September 2nd, 2008
Via my work, several.
by king of ellipses on September 2nd, 2008
a friend of mine, back when I was in highschool. She shot herself. Two friends I worked with when I was a sailor, around the same time.
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on August 26th, 2008
Yes.
by introverted extrovert on August 26th, 2008
two of my friends on different occasions decided to end there life prematurely
by Kiss A Fat Babys Ass on August 26th, 2008
yeah two. One stood on a ladder,put an engine hoist chain around his neck,then shot himself in the head with a 38.
The other was found in bed with a plastic bag over his head.
by cstoneking on August 26th, 2008
My father-in-law did. He had MS and he used a gun. He had tried another time and was unsuccesful. He talked about it. He felt he was inferior because of his disease. My husband found him. We were all affected by his act of selfishness. My husband still has nightmares from it.
What is so bad about suicide ... assuming nobody would care if you died?

Do you think there is any event that would cause you to consider committing suicide?

Be honest, would you rather have a privileged life in a world rapidly falling apart around you(but not close enough to effect you), or

"Can I just die right now?" Have you ever felt this way? If so, why?

If you think suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem, then what do you say when somebody has a permanent problem?
