I am 17 years old and I'm seriously considering suicide. I've already been through some tough times with my ex-girlfriend, we had so many things planned out for the future and she left me for her ex. I found another girl I like but she's been playing games with me and I'm just sick of everything. Part of the reason I want to do this is because I get jealous very easily, so when I see her flirting with someone else it really upsets me. Now I'm only a Junior in high school, but I've been through alot of adult situations. I just want to know the quickest, easiest way to do it. I would appreciate advice on how to handle the situation properly though if anyone has it, thank you.

AskChelsxox answered Saturday October 25 2008, 4:02 pm: I'm sorry about what happend with your ex and stuff... But honestly suicide won't do anything. If you commit suicide, then you give up the chance of finding a love that lasts. Finding someone you spend the rest of your life with. You say you and your ex had so many things planned for the future. Now just think about how you felt when you were with her. Now imagine never feeling that again. If you commit suicide then you won't feel that again, sure you won't feel the pain, but if you never feel the pain, then you will never feel the happiness love can bring. Please don't give up. Just try and get through this. If you need anymore advice, message me. [ AskChelsxox's advice column | Ask AskChelsxox A Question ]
saxxman5 answered Monday September 1 2008, 5:27 pm: hi, I've been in the exact same place as you are. I am a quite bit younger, and ive been though alot of tough adult deseions since the 3rd grade. I have tried a few different ways to commit suicide, and i have though of every possible, crazy way to do it. I know that you probably think you've been though more than me, but you probably havent. I've delt with my friends the same way about there signfcant others. Im not going to be like everyone else on thispage and tell you "Suicie isnt and answer" etc. Your deisions are your own desions. Just because you've been dumped, and your new girlfriend is playing games, is not reason to get depressed. You're 17 years old. You still have about 3/4 of your life left to live. Suicide can sometimes be an answer. but not always. In this situation, its not. In this situation, all that will happen, is thatyour ex, will feel bad, and your g/f right now will feel bad. Then you need to think about everyone else around you. Is it worth hurting eeryone you know and love, just to die? I've tried to hang myself,stab myself, etc. and guess what? Everytime before i do it, i think, how will this efect others. I belive that people like me dont have a purpose in this world. I'm just here to get screwed with. You may be to. But theres the beauty of it. As long as your getting screwed with, you can screw with others lives. The choice is up to you, not me. Just think bout it before you do it. At that point, after you think about it, you'll know what to do, weither it be for the better or the worse. Do what you want, dont listen to me, its your choice, just pick the right one, weither is be the suicide or you keep on living [ saxxman5's advice column | Ask saxxman5 A Question ]
blublue24 answered Saturday August 23 2008, 7:48 am: Hey listen, suicide isn't going to answer any of your problems now will it? You'll only end up more guilty and upset if you think suicide will resolve anything. And hey I know that life sucks and all because it just never goes that way you intend it to go, but you only have one chance to live and that's it. Don't let all your effort go to waste because since you're still young, you can still experience more things good or bad as you get older and even learn a lot from all those experiences. You gotta face the rough times as well no matter how bad it is, it's how you learn about your mistakes that shapes you into a better person.
Even if you've taken a beaten and you're brought to the ground, stand up.
Also, you don't have to handle this situation on your own. Tell a close friend of yours. Everyone needs help every now and then.
So apparently both girls weren't really suited for you after all. Keep searching, I'm sure there is definitely someone out there who'll give you love and relief. You just gotta be patient.
nicoledanielle answered Thursday August 21 2008, 11:12 pm: Hey.
I know how you feel.
I even asked how high you would have to jump to make sure you died. [7 stories]
But really suicide is not the answer.
Your young. You have so much life left to live.
&& everything happens for a reason.
She wasnt your soulmate and a girl is still out there looking for you.
I believe that everyone has one soulmate and one only so if you died she would be left with nobody.
If that makes any sense to you.
Suicide is also a really selfish thing.
Just think about your parents, your friends, family. They love you and you would be greatly missed. I know you probably dont care or believe me but alot of people would miss you.
I used to think all the time how many people would come to my funeral if I died and I thought like proably 10 but thats not what it would be like. I still think about suicide alot but I cant do that to my dad. Im all hes got. && my mom would like go into depression again. Im just not that selfish.
I dont think you are either..
I know you can get through this.
but if you really think you cant and there is nothing at all to live for then I would suggest a blow to the head. That is how most guys kill themselves. Its really fast and simple. Most girls dont because it doesnt look pretty and they are too scared.. I resorted to jumping because I couldnt pull a trigger, swallow that many pills, drink that much, or tie a strong enought knot.
&& just because I would love the feeling of free falling and then that shock you go into once you hit the ground.
anyways I hope I helped.
Im hear to listen if you even need to talk.
Best of luck. [ nicoledanielle's advice column | Ask nicoledanielle A Question ]
surferchick16 answered Thursday August 21 2008, 9:18 pm: please don't kill yourself. She wasn't right for you. That is not a reason to kill yourself. We all have our own crosses to bear. You have so much up ahead. Its normal to miss an ex. And its normal to have someone mess with your head, but its so small in the grand scheme of life. Look at babies that are being aborted, at least you've been given the chance to live, so rather then killing yourself, go out there and live for all the babies that never got the chance!!
To be truthfully honest, you will get your heart broken again, I know you don't want to hear that, but its reality, its true. I tend to stay away from relationships because I'm scared, I lost so many guys, that I could have dated and the 2 I really wanted. At least you've been in some kind of relationship, so what if it didn't workout out, you have plenty more experiences to go through. Quitters don't win, and winners don't quit, and seriously, between you and me, I think even if we do live to be 80, that still isn't enough time to do everything there is to do on earth. So put down the weapons and push the obstacles aside, and go finish highschool, travel the world, go live all your hopes and your dreams, Christ is the Lord, he will tell you when its time to go, so keep living, your time hasn't come yet. And just some personal advice, don't rush it away, it flies by faster than you could ever imagine, so cherish every moment!
All the best
Go make memories, laugh, love and of course, live!! :)
mikesadvice answered Thursday August 21 2008, 8:34 pm: Hey, I know how you feel, REALLY. When I was 17 the exact same thing happened to me except my girl friend ended up with my best friend. I dated her for 4 years and I thought my life would have to end to make the pain stop. But now I know what mine and your problem really is. We love too deeply! Let me explain. Some people can jump in and out of relationships at the drop of a hat. If someone gets hurt, so what. People get played every day and people like you and I don't process that too well. We are looking for that one relationship that will put meaning to our life. And that is something WE should be more careful about. We give of ourselves so deep that if it breaks off it ruins us. We start blaming ourselves for being fooled and we end up hating people and life.
Now fast forward 38 years. I have been married to the most wonderful woman for 29 years. I have 5 children and 7 grandchildren. And believe it or not I am still hurt from my first love. But now I only want to see her to show her how bad she messed up. If I would have ended my life the thing that now brings me the most pleasure I would have never known. I am so blessed with a family that truly loves and appreciates me for who I really am and I have many years to go to enjoy it. Reply to me with your email. Lets get together and see if we can get you a new direction. Your greatest life is still ahead of you! [ mikesadvice's advice column | Ask mikesadvice A Question ]
