My dad's best friend, because he had lost his job and was getting ready to lose his house, very sad. He wasn't that old.

Answers:
i'm sorry about your dad's bestfriend.it hurts me to read all these stories.i've known someone me.i started out when i was in high school,watched a movie where this girl had been cutting herself.so that's what i did start cutting myself to take away the pain of ppl in school picking on me,talking about me,or my mother always fussing,and slipping up an saying mean stuff to me.i tried to cut my rist,i took a whole bunch of pills that would have done nothing to me;but i took them anyway.then one of my teacher's helped me,she took me to one of the counserlor(i don't know if i spelled that right)and to watch her cry like that when i told them why i was doing it.i had been cutting for awhile.but after she did that,i would go talk to that counsiler everyday before class and on my lunch break.after that i had stoped.i was clean of cutting for awhile,then i started again.but luck i have a great bestfriend,cause without her i wouldn't have got through anything that was goin on with me.she told me that if i cut myself again she was going to kick my a**.because in my mind i was like everyone would probably be better off with me not being here.so i stopped.i would talk to my beatfriend all the time and she would talk to me and we would give each other advice.she told me one day i was going to do it and it was going to be to late and my life would be gone.i started to tell myself i do want kids in the future,i do want to get married one day,i do want a beter life for myself.that's the biggest sin ever is to take your on life,and that;that was just the devil trying to make me do something deep down in my heart i relly didn't want to do.and that he just wanted me to burn in hell for eternity and i didn't want that.i will admitt that recently this year i did cut myself again,but i said to myself that i can't do that anymore cause no one is believing the lies of how you got those cuts on you.but i stopped,i got that out of my head,out of my mind.i would never ever cut myself again.yes,sometimes ppl can hurt my feelings easily,or etc.. but i deal with it other ways and not cut myself.i'm not the type of person just because i did this along time ago you gotta watch what you say around me.no you don't have to do that,i say things and joke around just like everyone else do.

Be ex-boyfriend did. Shot his head off. We weren't together though.
My step-grandpa did he ran his truck in the garage.(carbon monoxide)
My brother's best friend (who I consider to be my brother). His parents were worthless, moved out on him & his sister when they were 14 & 10 and never sent money or anything to them. He had a hard life and pretty much lived with my family until his parents decided we were "not fit" and sent him to live with his drug addict older brother and wife.
My 8th-grade English teacher - he'd been charged with child pornography. Even though he had a good chance of being acquitted, odds are his career was over because folks would likely never forgive him for just having been charged with the crime.
yes, it's a selfish act in which the party doesn;t think of anyone but themselves. i didnt' even attend the funerals of the people i've known that did that.
my brothers, and my fiances best freind jeff mullen hung himself in his basement. in two weeks itll be the one year anniversary of his death, and the two year anniversary of my brothers trajic murder. the best die young. i have tried, but i guess i wasnt good enough..
My brother..
yes me...... stress was the key issuse, i felt that i had no way out, from cutting my wrisk to pills and even trying to hang myself. i found that was the easy way out. if i lived then maybe i would see that this was not hard enough for me to kill myself. death is final u cant redo death . killing myself i found out was just another trick of satan trying to steal my soul. so i will say that nothing on this earth is worth taking ur own life.
I don't know anyone that has ever committed suicide. There were many times where I also wanted to suicide because of emotional distress. But then I always think about my family, friends, and how my boyfriend would react. Sometimes, people are struggling to live while you are wasting your life away. It's better to just donate all of your body parts before you die, and let others have a chance to live. =) Wouldn't you say?
Depends on how you look at suicide. I had a brother 24..that got upset over a girl..did a **** load of drugs..drank until he couldn't anymore.. tore up a motel room...passed out and died. The medical examiner called it accidental...I'm not so sure i'd call it that.
My friend's dad. Very upseting. He was the father of 3. They are catholic, so they dont believe he will be in heaven.
"Sometimes the things you own start to own you." Make sure you have your priorities straight and that you know what is important in your life. You only get one chance. It is a shame to exit before you get it right. Get your life straight and maybe it will rub off on those around you. That's all you can do.
Many people. In my line of work, it is a fact of life and unfortunately a somewhat frequent occurance. Be strong.
Hey alexa,

Don't you start getting all depressed and sad.
This world is full of funny and weird people.
You can help them you know.

You don't have to preach to them
You don't have to do their shopping or cleaning
All you need to do is smile and be happy.

It rubs off you know?
It really does.
yes, it's always hard to understand why they would go that far, it's really sad.
No i don't know those crazy people the live gave to ya once in the life Don't lose your chance to live
Yes, a friend of mine. Her fiance broke off the wedding, and she was so embarrassed because the invitations had gone out. She had maxed out her credit cards, gave up her apartment and job, all for him. She didn't know what to do. She had locked herself in her room at her mom's house, and wouldn't eat. One morning, they found her dead. It was so sad.
Suicide is NO JOKE! I have known several people that have committed suicide and of that group three were friends. First time I heard of someone I knew who had killed themselves was in 7th grade..Can you imagine? Rumors fly and everyone has their own story as to why the people from my school chose the coward's way out but the real reason we will never know. Life is HARD things happen and at times you may feel like your alone or like nobody understands you! BUT DON"T GIVE UP! Life is too short to end it on your own...
Yes i have known six people to be suicidal and of them six, four of them actually went ahead and ended up actually killing them selves the other two done the sensible thing and asked for help, and are now both actually very happy indeed, one of them has recently had a new baby boy and has also recently bought her own house and the other has got his self a new managerial job and has a new girlfriend etc, but it is very hard and can be very very stressful not only on them but also on others around them. When you find your self around people that are suicidal, you have to be very careful with what you do and say around them etc. xx
Two of my best friends have had a brother that committed suicide.
One of my friends brother was known to be very depressed but we didn't know that he was walking around with suicide plans. we thought things were getting better with him when it happened and it came as a total shock. He left a note that he loved everybody but that he was so very tired. He needed his rest. He was only 19.
The brother of my other friend was always happy or at least we thought he was. He was always happy and having fun and telling jokes. He didn't seem to have a care in the world till all of a sudden my friend found him in the shed where he had killed himself without leaving a note or anything. We still miss him terribly he always put a smile on everybody's face and it always felt good to have him around you. He was like a butterfly, he brought happiness and sunshine. He was 17 when he took his life and we never knew why.
My Aunt, the pain will never go away never. it's stays with me all my life. knowing i couldn't help her. hurts a lot.
Yeah like 3 people, I also know many survivors (myself)
Yes More than one person. Great grandmother, a 15 year old friend when I was a teen a friends 10 year old brother when I was a child and a couple of adult friends. Suicide is one of the most selfish things a person can do. It is a cowards way out. The ones left behind always think they should have seen or done something and the dead person does not have to worry about the problems left behind.
