Suicide

I believe that one has the right to take their own life as long as they are sane and they have a good reason. I also believe that, in the end, it is sill his or her own life and it is not our place to tell them what to do with their own life. We may only suggest what one can do with his or her own life. It would be the same thing as, for example, if some country invaded the United States and changed the form of government and started to tell everyone how to live their lives. Everyone would react like, "What the h_ _ _?! Mind your own business! You can't tell us how to live our lives!" On the other hand, I do believe that one should try to fix their own problems and get help.

Suicide

Well, if you were thinking about dying by suicide (that's what it is actually supposed to be called if you want to be politically correct) you should first talk to a friend or family member about it. You would tell them about your problems or fears and they would hopefully be enough to fix the problem. However, if it were not enough, there are many places you can go or organizations you can call that would help. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is 1-800-273-TALK and the National Suicide Prevention Hotline is 1-800-SUICIDE(784-2433). They could also direct you to a good, local “health home” but I wouldn’t recommend that. At the “health homes” or mental asylums they treat you like a psycho and that fact is that most people who die by suicide are perfectly sane. What they really are is prisons that are proven to make a person want to kill themselves even more. In my opinion, it is your call whether you do or not do it as long as you are perfectly sane and you have tried to fix the problems but you simply cannot take it any longer.

Suicide

Hi! The main causes of suicide are depression and stress. You can help out by being kind to everyone and being willing to listen and help whenever someone is thinking about suicide. You can tell that someone is thinking about suicide when they start talking about death, they have suffered a major, recent loss, their personality changes, they cannot sleep, they cannot eat or eat too much, they may begin to have low self-esteem, and they may not plan on or have any hopes for the future. Please watch the video I attached.

Suicide

Suicide is a major problem today. In 2005, 32,637 people died by suicide. Of them, 25,907 were male and 6,730 were female. On average, roughly 89 people die per day from suicide or one person every 16 minutes. Suicide is the 11^th leading cause of death in the United States among adults and is the 3^rd leading cause of death among teens. Roughly one suicide attempt is made in the United States every 39 seconds. It is a problem that I believe can be prevented. However, in some cases I believe that we should not stop the individual.
