However, killing yourself for reasons like; "The people at Taco Bell don't put enough cheese on my Mexican pizza", or "the love of my life is more interested in the Paleontology professor at Uni" seems a bit selfish to me. You are willing to traumatize the people in your life who have the rest of their lives to live still... yet you think that your "pain" is so great that nothing else matters. That IS why people kill themselves... nothing else matters to them, they stopped caring, they gave up... I don't care what silly-ass justification they give... the real answer is that they are quitters. If you have noone who loves you or is a part of your life and you feel like you need to commit suicide... sod off. At least try to make it neat so someone else doesn't have to clean up your cowardly blood. Suicide is by-and-large pathetic, and I hope that none of my loved ones commit suicide because I will take them off the loved ones list immediately. If your actual opinion is "it won't matter how other people will feel" - then please, do us all a favor and get the **** out of here, you probably aren't contributing much to anyone else anyway.

I'd have to disagree with you there Ethan. You do realise a lot of people who commit suicide do so under the mental disorder known as depression? When one is depressed it's a lot harder than you think to see any light through the tunnel, and without the right help being found for them they may never recover and take extreme measures such as suicide?
I'm not saying this is for everyone who does it, but unless you can feel what they feel before they do commit/attempt suicide you'll never understand what it's like. I am in no way excusing suicide as an option though, it must be avoided at all costs. Unfortunately those left behind often blame themselves due to the lack of reasoning behind the act.
