I honestly think it is both. Yes it is cowardly because you are running away from your problems by just giving up and taking your life, and no because you have to have a lot of courage to take your own life. It's a very selfish thing to do though.

Side-note: Not I am not suicidal :b My life is great right now, I'm just curious on what other people think about the subject.

Touche, my friend, touche. :carling:

No, it's not.

Though, what is cowardly is committing suicide due to money issues, and therefore leaving all your debts to your husband/wife/family.

Neither. Seriously, there's no answer to this.

You can't answer unless you've been in that state of mind yourself, I have been on high doses of anti-depressants for over a year and I still find it hard to motivate myself to do things
It's a horrible feeling but sometimes I feel I wallow in the sadness as depression is a state of being; it develops into a part of your identity and it is impossible to understand unless you've been there. I still find it hard to explain to my friends why I'm like this

I'd have to agree with you on that, suicide due to monetary issues is not the same as suicide caused by a long period of extreme depression

Bro, ya it is cowardly, but i would rather someone just take their own lives if thier quality of living is that low; than to go on a shooting spree, and once the police come kill themselves. Before people get all sensitive and stuff, i am not saying that it is the right thing to do, but if you wanna take your own life, i would rather see that then harming Innocent people.

I know exactly how you feel and its just awful. I have a great life and what not but 3 years ago my dad passed away, my grandma did, and my mom got breast cancer all in the same year. And it was the year I was going from 8th to 9th grade so I already had the stress of a freshman. I was suicidal and the only thing that prevented me from doing it honestly was the unknowing of whats on the "other side". But then one night my I woke up to my sister crying because her friend apparently committed suicide because she lost her college scholar ship because of getting her 3rd DUI in one year. Thats what made me get the help I need. And im not ashamed to admit I've been taking a pill everyday for the past three years.

Good for you, frankly. It takes courage to admit you have a problem and need help, and it's a whole other thing to actively seek help. Well done :y:

In my opinion, we can never truly get into the minds of those who decide, or consider committing suicide. Sure, I can say from my stance that I think it's silly and that suicide is never a good option. But I've been raised to think that way and have always been treated very well. I can't speak for someone who was never treated well, who is constantly bullied, etc., etc. I'm not saying everyone who commits suicide has those circumstances, but you get my drift. Anything we say in here is mere speculation, because we haven't been placed in the same situations as most of those people.

Suicide is for the weak. Suicide is for people who are too weak to handle their own problems and deal with real life. I think people who commit suicide are not intelligent per say due to them having a weak personality and not giving a shit about their lives
