Suicide
 
Question:

I am in an emergency response class, and we were going over suicide recently. My book claims that men would kill themselves in a more violent way than women would. So, my question is, how would you kill yourself? and are you male of female?

I'd choose darvon cocktail. But then i wonder if going to sleep and not waking up is as easy at it sounds. Would i feel pain and just not be able to open my eyes or move? So second thought is a gun to the head. Female.

I really don't think the question is loaded by the way. Who are you to tell that I'm not considering suicide. If I were not, how would I have randomly found this site that I wouldn't have otherwise looked at? So, to answer the question... I'm a 25 year old female. I would likely use a method that is instantaneous and painless. I'd choose the Darvon Cocktail.

A sterotypically "female" method (a the risk of sounding sexist): Non-violent, and with the possibility of being rescued if found in time. 3 x as many womem as men "attempt" suicide, but 4x as many men actually kill themselves.

if i wanted to commit suicide i would at least give others a chance of running my life before i decided its over. maybe try to get some help from a phsycologist or maybe even join the military. if im gonna die ill do it for a good cause, not because i got cheated on or im upto my eyeballs in debt.

Without researching that I would tend to agree. Men seem to shoot themselves and I hardly ever hear that as a method for women. That being said I am a female and I would chose to take lots of medication followed by lots of alcohol and hopefully just drift off to sleep forever.

I think someting quick, like driving really fast into a wall. Nothing messy for someone to find. Although I've considered stepping in front of buses, slitting my wrists and other things more than once

I'm female
