Great share, suicide is never the answer, but I can relate with those that are so depressed and down on themselves and they think there is no way out.

This is a great article,
It happens so often to all the people around us
It has happened in my family and to friends of the family
It is such a sad thing to see happen.
Thanks for sharing

Thanks BC Doan, finally someone who can find a good point in my perhaps a bit harsh article.

This is a good conclusion: “There’s only one person who really can help you: yourself, now take your life back again, make it successful and be your own God!”

First, thanks for the comments, appreciated, I'll add some thing of a disclaimer.
Second, yes I've known 2 suicides in my surroundings, one was a friend of my dad, the second was mu uncle.
It felt like a devastating blow in the face perhaps that's the emotion you feel in the article.
Third, I do not feel like I am responsible for any other's lives, I'm Tmrobotix, only responsible for my deeds, not for deeds of any other.
Do I say to commit suicide? No, there's a general dislike of suicide.
I don't bully them, I tell them what I think of them, they are the people who can change my mind, they can make the changes whether to stay alive and enjoy it to the fullest, or to take their lives.

Like I said, it is wrong to put someone else his/her life in my/other's hands.

Your article sounds angry. Why would that be? Have you known someone close to you that committed suicide? Have you ever been depressed enough to consider suicide? I dont know you and I dont know your story but I do know some things about this issue and you are misinformed. Do some research before you write an article like this, perhaps you could come and read my article called Depression and Online Writers and that would enlighten you some. People commit suicide vastly because they are hopeless possibly from a mental illness that is untreated, possibly because they have had hideous things happen to them like abuse. And there is a HUGE difference between the people who TALK about committing suicide and those that actually take their own lives. Young PEOPLE, not just young girls talk about this and sometimes attempt as a form of attention. However people rarely succeed when this is their agenda. The people whom are really going to do it dont broadcast it, however, they do READ about it and it might be your article that they stumble across and here you are possibly the last line of defense against this and what do you do with your responsibility to your fellow man? You bully someone who is depressed, despondent and ready to die. Arent you proud.

I hate to break it to you, but this really isn't advice. If someone who was suicidal read this, it would make them feel worse, not better, and certainly wouldn't stop them killing themselves. Calling someone a coward and a weakling does not make them stronger, it just hurts them. This could be extremely dangerous, because suicidal people think that everybody thinks this (which they definitely don't)and this will only confirm that for them, making them feel even more alone.

I hope you think about what you've written, and that you think about why you've written it, because God knows, it isn't helping anyone.
