Many people see suicide in many different ways. Two of the most common ways that I see suicide viewed as are from either the people that have wanted to, tried to, or came close to committing suicide; the other view are from those who are strictly against suicide. The people who are against suicide say many things that are not true. They say suicide is weakness. Suicide is a person who wants attention. Suicide is when a person feels sorry for themselves. While on the other hand people who have tried, wanted to, and do commit suicide. Suicide to them is a way out. Suicide is the way out of the darkness. Suicide is a way out of the misery and pain that they feel. Suicide is the end of all pain. The voices of the day come back to hunt her, to torment her through the pain and suffering that she endures everyday a new lie is spread, more vicious than the one before. The lies of her haters, the lies of the one that she used to love, she covers her ears but the voices still slip in spilling over slicing way through her head clear to her heart. There is no end to the pain, the torment, the hate, the darkness that eats away at her soul. She screams but like always there is no answer. Through the pain, the torment, the hate; through it all there is a voice, her voice the …show more content…
Suicide is the death of one’s body who has lost its soul a long time before. Suicide is a light at the end of a dark tunnel with no way out. Suicide is an end to the heartache and all their troubles. Suicide is not the killer, rumors are. Haters are the killer. Suicide is the one that everyone blames for the end of one’s own life that is taken by themselves, but it’s not. Suicide is when another has already cut apart everything that there is to a person until there is nothing more left of their soul, and the only thing that still exists is the body that has to be destroyed as well. Rumors are the real killer. Rumors fueled by the hatred of others made only to
Suicide is the eleventh most common cause of death in the United States. According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, a person takes their own life once every fourteen minutes in the United States (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention [AFSP], 2011). Still, with suicide rates so high, suicide is a taboo topic in our society. Though suicide is intended to end one person’s pain, it causes an immeasurable amount of pain and suffering to loved ones close to the deceased.
It has been described as a gateway drug and often leads to the use of more addictive drugs that are shown to have a stronger association with suicidality (Nikansa-Amankra and Minelli, 2016). According to a report by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, marijuana is a commonly used illicit drug among adolescents in the United States. In 2012, 37 percent, 69 percent, and 82 percent of 8th graders, 10th graders, and 12th graders respectively reported that marijuana was very easy to access. 60 percent and 32 percent of high school and middle school students respectively stated that students use and sell drugs on the schools’ grounds. 44 percent of students that
Modern philosophy stipulates that the will to preserve one’s life as long as possible is a fundamental aspect of basic logic and reason. The will to survive as long as possible is described as an innate and natural instinct of being human. Based on this philosophical reasoning, it is inherently illogical and irrational to willingly put an end to one’s life. Sociologists, psychologists and psychiatrists have also condemned suicide by stating that it is associated with mental, social and physical ill-being and that those who commit suicide are not in a rational state of mind. These scientific and philosophical approaches to suicide have contributed to formally documenting suicide as a wrong, irrational and immoral act. The problem is that these approaches see suicide in a generalized manner and do not take into account sub-types and different kinds of suicide such as euthanasia for example, which is physician-assisted and intentional suicide in the case of a terminally ill patient with no possibility of recovering from his or her medical condition. Technological developments in medicin...
Each and every single one of our lives should be thought of as a temple that will take control and live out a great life, without having negative thoughts towards living life. We are blessed to have the chance to live a life to the fullest, but there are sadly people out there who end up having different ideas. Suicide is an act of killing ones self and I find most people to be doing this horrible act because they either have serious depression or have some irrational thought that leads them to suicide.
Imagine waking up every day tired, and drowsy. Having to go to school every day being pushed around and having other children make you feel like you’re worthless but you are actually feeling worthless, hopeless, and careless. You have no place where you can go and just be peaceful nowhere to go to just be free. At home there are problems, At school there are problems, everywhere u go u have that feeling of sadness, worthlessness, and hopelessness. Having those feeling of harming yourself to take the inside pain away and having thoughts about taking you life away. Suicidal teen’s feelings, what caused them to become suicidal, and how they overcome the feelings?
The subject of suicide is taboo in our society. Despite this fact and the efforts of society in general trying to minimize the reality of suicide, there are still people who are intrigued by the act. This intrigue could be due to the large number of people who die by suicide. Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death for people between the ages of 15-24 and the 9th leading cause of death overall (Timmermans 311). The intrigue and minimization of suicide in our society contrast. When suicide is not being romanticized or hidden, there is shame and stigma surrounding it. Ignoring, romanticizing, and shaming the act of suicide is problematic because suicide is a serious social problem that needs to be addressed openly, accurately, and without judgment.
There are four different types of suicide, they are different so when people say they committed suicide there are multiple reasons why they did it. The four different types are Egoistic, Anomic, Altruistic, and Fatalistic. They all have four different meaning, but the most reason is because of depression. There are many different reasons bullying is a big issue with people doing this and having thoughts of doing this. It is because people do not care how they treat other people
Having the beliefs instilled in me by my family makes me see it as such regardless of the hardships the victim faced. I have come to this style also from the article “The Morality of Suicide” it brings in so much information on the subject and give great advice on suicide prevention methods. The bottom line is communication is key to saving lives. If more citizens had someone to just talk to them and not openly criticize them to the point where they feel like they aren’t wanted or welcomed on this earth there wouldn’t be nearly as many deaths. The victim also deserves some of the blame at the end of the day, no one forces anyone to kill themselves it is a conscious decision to kill yourself out guilt, pride or whatever the case may be. Our purpose on this earth is to strive and endure everything being thrown at us for the purpose of growing and learning
Suicide is the third leading cause of death among teens. (Hogarty 1) Suicide is a painful conversation to have because when you lose someone to suicide, it affects more than just that person. In Hamlet, both Hamlet and Ophelia are battling depression and discuss suicide in great lengths. If people talk about suicide, it could be avoidable.
When people think about the words ‘assisted suicide. We sisterly think of the negative connotation that surrounds the word ‘suicide’, distracting them from the positive impact that it has on people with terminal illness. Hence, causing it to be a controversial matter of not only suicide but death itself. Therefore, making the topic a mind field of ethics and personal beliefs. Suicide and Assisted Suicide are the polar opposites and should not be treated the same. Assisted suicide is not about right and wrong it's about life and death.
Suicide is arguably one of the most major controversies. Suicide is the act of taking one’s own life as a result of a psychiatric disorder that sometimes is brought on with certain life threatening illnesses, stress, genetics, or other influences like physical or emotional abuse. There are many conditions that are known for having suicidal thoughts and ideation as a side effect; major depression, manic depression, or bipolar disorder, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and many more. Most suicidal individuals want to avoid emotional or physical pain by killing themselves to escape the pain they can’t bear and solve their insoluble problem. Sometimes, suicide is also done out of anger. Suicide may not be the answer to their problems, but sometimes suicide is the only way to escape.
Many live due to the fear of death, many die due to the fear of living. Suicide is the act of ending one’s own life as a result of emotional and spiritual problems. Suicide, to some, is seen as a permanent escape. The Church itself argues against suicide. Life is borrowed and is not for one to just give away, God is the only one who can judge life. Suicide should not be committed because it infringes our relationship with others and ultimately God. Suicide is a selfish act all on its own.
Suicide is one of the most common death around the world. Life is just taking away very easy by someone or yourself. We have study the causes of someone killing themselves, but our human behavior can easy change and eventually make that deciduous. The causes and effects of suicide are depression, the past meaning your life before, and feeling unloved or lonely. The effects are the people that loved you are going to be depress, never reach those goals that you set for yourself, and people that loved you will feel the guilt.
Deathly acts such as murdering, homicide, and genocide are acts that are associated with anger, pride, and even jealously, but none compare to the actions of suicide which are associated with sadness, grief, pain, that encircle and bound the victim, such so that he cannot see a way out.

In addition, suicide are caused by many elements including; emotional, physical, and psychological (genetics) they are also different in retrospective to age and gender.

I’ve never been suicidal but many factors in my life have shown me why it may be someone’s last resort. The stress of school, exams, friends and the difficult impacts on one’s life such as a death of a loved one, and dealing with struggles of depression are all factors that can lead one to commit suicide. My opinion on suicide is that it is not selfish and it is not a sin but it is not always the right choice. It is most definitely a personal choice and I believe that individuals don’t make that choice lightly but there are many factors that go into that choice. Not everyone is as fortunate to grow up with loving parents, or have a house over their head. Not everyone is accepted and treated like everyone else is and most of the time people don’t realize that someone has dealt with more than you. I don’t believe suicide is ever the answer, although I can see both sides. I believe that if we made a difference in society through talking about suicide, that suicide wouldn’t be the issue that it is
