Is Suicide 'Selfish'?..

i think it just depends on the situation.....

i think it does. think of all the other friends and family that love you and if you killed yourself they'd all be fucked up in the head.just my opinion.i called my best friend to say good bye once and ya she went a bit crazy.

Suicide is selfish... Yes. But i don't believe those who commit suicide are mentally stable, therefore not realising that what they are doing is selfish.

I realise why people kill themselves... To relieve personal pain and anguish... But in doing so, they pass pain to family, friends etc. It's really tough on family members, but i guess the situation must be really tough to kill themselves... I guess no one will ever know the real reaosn behind someone killing themselves... We may think we know their story, but we dont really.

My best friend commited suicide. I wouldn't consider her selfish. But I guess it sort of is selfish because those who commit suicide think about ending their lives without thinking about what it may do to others.

I just don't like to accept the fact that my best friend was being selfish. I know she wasn't being selfish because of a note she wrote. I guess it depends on the person.

It's the MOST selfish thing anyone could do.

Suicide can be selfish at times depending on the case

No, not depending on the case...it's ALWAYS selfish.

Suicide is most definitely selfish. The only time I would think it wasn't is if a person has a fatal illness and is suffering from severe pain. That's in rare cases where their going to die anyways. Suicide over a boyfriend or the terrible life that you think you have couldn't be more stupid! It hurts so many people and they are left to suffer.

I have watched people with cancer suffer in such a way I couldn't even imagine. My cousin died from cancer it spread to her bones. She was unable to do anything but have drops of morphine put on her tongue to try and relieve some of the pain. She died a horrible death. I personally would not want to suffer like that. If I knew I was going to die in a number of days I am not sure what I would do. I know everyone that loved her suffered just as much as if she would have ended it on her own.

My best friends father had lung cancer and something else wrong with both of his legs that caused very bad pain. He shot hisself in the head through his nose. He was in so much pain he killed hisself on his daughters porch and one can't even imagine what that's like for someone to go home to. She blamed herself. She told me that if she had just called home like she wanted to to ask her dad to pull something out for dinner he would still be alive. He messed her head up....though she understands how much pain he was in it's not the same feeling than losing a loved one from natural causes. It was selfish. He lived in a small town, so he knew a lot of people and had a lot of friends....MANY people were affected by his actions. It sucks and I can't even believe someone would do such a thing. Not to mention it's a sin. But like Brooke said if someone is in such pain and misery it's different...I guess....I don't know...it's a touchy subject.

when ur best friend told you about her dad shooting himself, did u call her an idiot for crying? did u call her a dip shit for feeling weak and not able to go on? Did u insult her? Did you tell her to get into the real world?

Doubt it. so what the hell gives u the right to say that to us?

I agree it is a sin. For a father to do that and the poor girl blamed herself is wrong. If she was aware of what he was going to do ahead of time it might have had a different outcome. I know in my cousins case it was mentioned by her and they thought the choice was hers to make. I am just speaking on behalf of my cousin her family couldn't bare to watch her suffer. She had cancer that started in her breast and ended up over time taking over her body! I do believe it is a sin. I just think that these post about suicide are made for the most pathic reasons. So stupid and pointless. Young people think life is rough now wait until they become an adult.

Georgi...my friend didn't grab a knife and slice up her body. She got out of the house with me...we went four wheeling, shining, we did all kinds of recreational things to keep her mind off of it. So no I didn't call her dumb ass....she dealt with the pain in a way that I would call 'normal.' Her blood running all over wouldn't have made her situation better....so my dear, she isn't a little freak like you.

Agreed Brooke...completely.

a little freak?

A) im not little

B) Freak isnt the right word, i aint a freak lol

Is that all you got? HaHaHa

sicide is the most selfish thing ANYONE could possibly do... yeah you have problems now but they WILL get better.. suicide is permanent solution to a temporary problem... Suicide doesnt only end your life but also ends anyone who loves you as well... it kills them inside to think about how depressed you were and everything.. just tell some1 about ur problems dont end your life

Natalie you have come bcks like "you twit" so who are you to say is that all you've got?

I never simply said, "you twit." So what are you talking about? Twit.

I am going to be honest...suicide is selfish, but sometimes...ppl do it with out thinking..lts a permanet solution to a temporary problem

Yep I agree, suicide is very selfish and cowardly.

Holy Moly.....Crimson and I agree??? WHOA! ...lol

LOL!!! like that one, keep it up!

Believe it.

It is selfish....IT'S SO SELFISH THAT I'M GONNA COMMIT SUICIDE BECAUSE IT IS SO SELFISH, SO SELFISH!!

lmao. x)

Of course suicide is selfish. No matter how you look at it. In the end, you have gotten yourself out of whatever you couldn't handle and you have left everyone who cared for you completely hurt in return. But at least you got what you wanted right?

Do you seriously think a mother could EVER get over the loss of her child? Especially if that child took his or her own life. How do you think that mother would feel? They would feel like a failure, that's how. They would ALWAYS question themselves as to what they could have or should have done better for their child. They would grieve their child's death for a lifetime. As for getting over it...not possible!
