You've got a choice.

I feel there has been an upward trend in society. You may call it "personal accident", but I prefer the same old name: Suicide. It seems some people may hold such atrocity in high regard. Nonsense!!! I know some potential suicides will eventually come up with a few reasons, trying to coax you into believing they have a point. Yep, suicides may be methodical and meticulous. However, when a position is based upon reason, then the adoption of that position should be determined by the strength of reason, but I cannot find ANY convincing argument.

I'll number some of the reasons why People Attempt and Commit Suicide:

1- Firearm Availability
->Is it possible to believe some people buy a gun and shoot themselves out of "curiosity"? It's unacceptable the idea of someone who is unable to consider the likely results of his actions. Well, this is popularly known as imprudence. Anyway, bear traps are also available. Why don't they buy one and use it on their feet? I bet the damage will not be something to be too worried about. Give me a fucking break!

2- Depression
->This is the most dangerous symptom. It mows millions of lives down every year; but if treated properly, the treatment may provide great outcomes. Once you spot someone who suffers from depression, take all precautions in order to help this person: Take him to the doctor. Pills and therapy will help him overcome this problem. But, things do not only depend on family, close relatives or friends. If the person does not want to live, there is not much we can do. It's a matter of willingness. Living is worth the effort.

3- Schizophrenia, Personality Disorder, Alcoholism and Substance Abuse
->These are considered diseases and disorders, so they should be dealt with accordingly. The ones in charge of the person will play an important role on the patient's full recovery. There is always someone who cares for you, so don't you ever give up!

4- Illness and Physical Infirmity
->If you think you are unable to take care of yourself and feel you are placing a financial/physical and emotional burden on your family, why be ashamed? Don't be selfish and ask for help. If you don't like yourself, some people do. You are way more important than you think you are. You are not a disposable product :)

5- Revenge, Anger and Punishment
->This one makes me laugh. How can anyone kill himself in order to inflict pain on his beloved ones? To me, this is ironic enough, since this person will not be here to witness the damage they caused.

6- Sexual orientation and gender conflicts
->I believe a person is born homossexual, but even if the person isn't...Perhaps this citizen will have to face serious conflicts in order to understand he likes someone the same sex. But, in a free world like this, why commit suicide? Homossexuals have been gaining respect and some room in society. Things will be roughly equal in the future.

7- Loss of job or economic distress
->During hard economic times, some people who have been laid off or have gone bankrupt, cannot find a way to handle this situation. They feel unable to find any other way out other than suicide. If there is nobody to give you a hand, neither someone to lend you some cash, then you should really commit suicide! Killing yourself due to lack of money is pathetic.

8- Loss of a loved one
->When there is a breakup or a sudden death of someone beloved, some people are driven by loss to take their own lives. Have you ever thought millions lose loved ones every day but manage to go through? I myself have lost some, but I am here!!!

Gee! I know I must have forgotten reasons, but hopefully the most important are among the ones above. I hope I have made myself clear. I think suicide is a coward choice, a selfish one, or at least, not the best pick. Why simply give up? It is easy, isn't it? After falling down, stand up as many times as necessary. You have inner strength, you have people to lean on. Remember you have a choice...it is up to you :)
