I know when people say "Suicide is not the answer" Its not enough. It doesnt show you why. Lots of people say that, but they don't know the feeling. My friend was about to commit suicide, he tried once, he threatened to. The reason that you shouldn't commit suicide is because, it may seem like the easy way out, but what about everyone you leave behind, Your time here matters. You may not think it, but it does. One person can change lives. It's true, even the simplist little thing, can change a life. When my friend told me he almost killed himself, I didn't know what to say, So I wrote him this...
Life is tough, but we... as screwed up as it sounds, have it pretty good
You think there is no point, no reason to wake up in the morning
No more reasons to keep trying
But just think of all the children going to sleep at night and wondering if they will live to see another day
Waking up and getting ready to fight life, to fight for there own lives and the lives of those they love
Think about them and ask why you shouldnt give up
Life has a point, it just takes time to find
Show the kids with no hope, that there is a reason to keep fighting
You are not weak
You just can't find the strength to keep going.
But you will find that strength again, it may take longer then you would like, but it's still there
If a child can get up every morning and fight life for a chance at having a future, fight to save there little brothers or sisters.
You can get up and fight for a chance of happiness.
For now you have the choice on whether or not you see tomorrow.
But don't take that for granted, cause life doesnt give second chances.
You get the life you live, you just have to make the best out of that life
You have people who love you... Don't forget who those people are.
Because as much of a gift life is... you never know when you may lose someone you care about.
Dont give up on life, don't give up on me.
I will never give up on you.
I hope that helped

Well they say it because when you die who gets all the problems?
your family does.Some mentaly others phisicly start hurting them selfs and then there are all the things for then funeral. All you are doing is passing your problem to somone else. And if you think no one will care that you are gone then you are wrong. people will care and people DO! care

As wise as we at advicenators are, we don't know everything. I'm sure there is someone out there for whom suicide might be "the answer". That person might even be you.
But probably not.
We say "suicide is not the answer" because in most cases, it's not. It's usually the knee-jerk response to overwhelming sadness. That alone isn't enough reason to justify suicide. In almost any case you care to name, sadness passes, but suicide is forever.
Therefore, unless you can supply some kind of compelling reason that requires a solution as permenant as suicide, it won't be "the answer", at least from our point of view, since we can only work with the infomation we're given.
Again, we don't know everything, but in my entire advice-giving career I'm yet to see a situation that warrents a measure so extreme.

Here's why it isn't the answer, and take it from someone who knows:
Because there is more to live for other than problems that you feel you cannot solve. You might be feeling overwhelmed and afraid and alone. But you have got to realize that if you talk with someone about it, those feelings could, while possibly not go away entirely, lessen dramatically. If you keep on pushing forward and working through it, you'll be immensely glad that you didn't end your life.
I am telling you this because I know for a fact. I know how your issues might seem like they are crushing you and that you are just too overwhelmed and want everything to stop. But if you do in fact make everything stop, EVERYTHING stops.
That means there goes the good times you might have had. There goes birthday parties, late night phone calls. There goes first jobs, promotions. There goes a happy marriage, raising a family. While you might give up all the pain you feel right now, you give up all the joy you are sure to feel in the very near future.
Suicide is not even a lesson you can learn the hard way, because once it's done...it's done.

Suicide is not the answer because taking your own life does not solve any problems. On the contrary, it creates bigger ones.
I know people who have committed suicide. It affects everyone who once knew them. It is so difficult getting on with life when you know someone who you once loved very, very much took their life because they were unhappy. One cannot help but wonder if they did something wrong. Were they the cause of the supreme unhappiness their love one felt? A person will live with this wonder and fear for their entire life.
Please do not commit suicide. The one most important thing about life I can tell is it goes on. Your current negative circumstances will most likely end. Therefore, do not take your life over something that is currently going on.
If you are feeling suicidal, please get help. Your loved ones will not be able to bare the loss of your life.

Why is suicide not the answer? Well usually the TRUE answer to something does NOT involve personal harm. Can you accept that?
Deciding to kill yourself is a very serious decision. It's not one that should be taken lightly. If you're going to decide on doing so, you should probably think about what's going to happen to all of your loved ones.
Okay. First think of your mother who raised you and gave birth to you. Whether she tells you or not, she loves you. Whether she acts like it or not, she loves you. I guarantee it. Your mother would be heartless not to love her own child. Anyway, let's pretend you committed suicide- how would she feel? She would probably slip into a depression, maybe one like you're in now, and she might make the decision you're thinking of making. How does that make you feel? Terrible right?
Well if it doesn't, it really should.
Now think about your dad. He loves you, too. He helped raise you, and he maybe taught you how to ride your bike, among other things.
Think about your friends. They laughed with you, cried with you, and so many other things.
Think about your grandparents. They've helped raise you, too. They've given you cookies when your parents said not to. They've babysitted you last-minute when your parents couldn't find anyone. And they, along with everyone else, LOVE you.
How selfish would it be to leave all these people behind that love you? Think about it. These people will be DEVASTATED if you just kill yourself now and screw them all over. They may not tell you it, but they NEED you. Your family and friends NEED you. Just ending your life and not thinking about that is completely selfish.
There are many options OTHER than ending your life. You can go to therapy, talk to your parents, talk to your counselor, talk to your friends, or a number of other things. Sure, ending your life is definitely an option, but it's the selfish and easy way out.
If you have ANY will power to continue your life and see that it WILL get better if you have positive thoughts, then you will realize that killing yourself is just not the way to solve your problems.
If anything, it makes you a coward taking that way out of your problems, but that's just my opinion.
Obviously I mean not to offend you or make you feel any worse than you probably do. I'm trying to motivate you to do the RIGHT thing.

An answer is a response to a question. Suicide is the refusal to acknowledge or ask a question.
]
Why do we say it? Because we MEAN it. You might not think so, but we honestly DO care here, and when we say suicide is not the answer, we really do mean it.
As Camille said below "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem." Suicide doesn't solve problems; it just creates more for all of the people in your life. Everybody has problems, and everybody goes through tough times. But problems have solutions, and tough times always end and guide you to the good times that lie ahead.
Nobody's life is SO bad that they need to end it. Especially when you've got so much time left, so many things to do, so many people to meet, so many friends to make, and so many good things left to experience. Think of all the things you've yet to experience- perhaps you haven't yet experienced things like: getting your license, going to prom and graduating high school, falling in love and getting married, buying your first house, having a family of your own. There are SO many things we go through and experience in our lifetime, and hardly enough time to cram it all in even when we live to be almsot 100! Life's short and there is NO reason to make it shorter.
I personally believe that everything happens for a reason, and that problems are thrown at you, and/or you're put into tough situations to make you stronger and to see that you really CAN make it through the times when it feels like the end of the world. There are ALWAYS people who care, even when you might be not think so. There is ALWAYS a reason to live, even when you can't seem to find one, there IS one. Suicide is NEVER the solution to life's problems.
Life is a gift; cherish it while you can.
I hope this helps you understand why suicide should never be an option. If you ever need to talk, my inbox is always open.

Suicide is not the answer because most things
and circumstances change in a heartbeat. What
seems a big deal right now is not such a big
deal after a while. Most of the things young
people feel are major are just not that
important to anyone other than themselves.
I had a friend that went off to college.
She killed herself because she got a B
instead of an A in a class. She was worried
her mom would be upset. She was a straight A student throughout her earlier years. One B
and she, a very smart lady who would have
made something of herself even with a B is
gone.
People get so wrapped up in there own
little world sometimes. They don't see
just how stupid they are being.
Now I'm not saying there aren't people out
there with real problems. They are sick or
broke and living under a bridge. People
get depressed and get so low they don't
know where to turn for help. But there are
people who are able to help them. There
are meds for those who are really depressed.
Its just admitting they have problems and
looking for someone to help them.
So suicide is never a good answer. It may
end one persons problems and create heartache
and depression for those they leave behind.
Often they are left thinking, if I'd only
known.
So if you're feeling suicidal talk
to those who love you. Tell them how you
feel. Don't keep it to yourself and let
it get bigger and bigger until it seems
impossible to dig out. Reach out for help.
