I know this was kind of short and may have meant nothing to a lot of people, but it meant a lot to me.* It meant my life.* My motivation for writing this was that I know four people who have actually faked attempting to commit suicide for attention.* I have nothing to say to those girls.* Nothing. There is too much to put in words.* Too much pain and too many tears.

I attempted suicide once and I know what you mean about those people. They shouldn't take advantage of that situation. That pisses me off. But hey, good thing we're all happy again, huh?

I think alot of on this board can relate about the whole suicide issue. I also attempted suicide. I have the marks on my wrists to prove that I wasn't just kidding around about it. I think it's horrible when people joke around with suicide... it's nothings something to be taken lightly. Suicide is a major problem, and it is not something to joke around with. I thank God everyday now that I didn't die. I'm still a child I have so much left in me to contribute and I am not ready to die yet. Thank you though for sharing your story. It's really hard admitting you have a problem.... believe me I wouldn't admit I had a problem either. I'm glad you got the help you need and you are okay now. And I'm glad you found us. S-B is a really good site to help with all your problems. I'm thankful I found it. The people here have helped me not do stuff like I used to, and they have taught me alot about myself and stuff to... Thanks everyone!

But but! Round! We like you alive!!! You too Village Idiot!!


I too have tried to kill myself...grr...bad me! But I'm cool now...It's all like clinical depression shit, but now that I'm on anti depressants I'm soooo much better. I used to come home and just feel like crap! but...eh...long story and...yeah....Just remember (as my friends have constantly told me) Even when you think no one loves you! SOMEONE DOES!!!!!! :-)

Just recently I've felt like horrible shit. I've failed in almost everything I've done, except for one small thing. I've even thought "Is suicide the right way" and I've told myself "No. It's not, it'll all pass soon." And sure, it probably won't, but suicide? I mean that makes it so you are gone. Nothing can get better once your dead. So I must say that I am very....proud I guess...that you got yourself help, and that you did not go ahead with it. Suicide doesn't help. It only ends your life too soon, without time to get better.

That was one of the realest things I've ever read. I remember being 13 and standing over the sink with a knife pressed against my wrist. I was *THIS* close to doing it, too, but I just couldn't stomach doing that to my mother. And this is the first time I ever admitted this. Damn, this fells a bit strange, but sorta good.

Here in NZ and Australia we have the "Yellow Ribbon Foundation" it's a charity organisation that helps youth suicide and they have these yellow printed cards that are in all the schools so if your feeling suicidal and don't feel you can speak to anyone you can just hand them the card and they can start helping you from there, as we all know it is very hard and for some inpossible to ask for help but thats all it takes sometimes to stop suicide and buy handing someone this card it specks volums.

Every year in NZ for the past 3 years (and I think in Aussie but not sure) we have a Fight for Life Charity Event where National rugby and league players come together and fight each other in a boxing ring for a max of 3 rounds, and it is televised and you can make donations over the phone and all tickets sales to the event go to charity aswell which is formal dress and they have a meal and drinks and entertainment besides the boxing.

It was on last night and this year it was NZ v Aussie, NZ won but it was very entertaining and for a very worth while cause. They also try to get the message across to all viewers about suicide and asking for help etc..

Apparently NZ has the highest youth suicide in the world per population.

Thanks for sharing all of your experiences. I can agree with manwiththeplan.
I have thought about suicide before, basically because I thought my life was worthless and that it really wouldn't matter to anyone if I did it. I finally just realized that it wouldn't solve anything in my life. It took a while for me to come to that conclusion, but I did. I'm glad that you got help, and didn't go through with it.

Without the massive pain that life can give you, there can be no growth.

If that sounds cheesy I am sorry. But it is the truth. Suicide does nothing more than make everyone in your life wonder how they did wrong by you.

Village, I am so impressed that you had the guts to come here and tell your story like that. I think if nothing else your life will be more full because you know how precious life can be. (Even when it sucks worse than anything else.)
