Advantages: none!

Disadvantages: loss of life.

Suicide is basically a person taking their own life. I think this is such a complicated and delicate topic to talk about, but I'm going to try and give my opinion and views in the best way possible without the intention to insult or put anyone down or upset anyone.

People may feel the need to take their own life for so many different reasons, stress, bullying, money issues, family issues and many more. I think some people see death as a way out, or a way to end a physical or psychological pain.

I'm not sure if people with suicidal thoughts can be helped, or not all of them. Some people will have therapy and different forms of help but will still commit suicide wheras some can be helped, but I think it is all down to the person and their needs and I don't think that they should be judged for this.

I have heard about suicide pacts that teens have taken out, like to kill themselves at the same time, and this makes me very sad for such young people to take their lives, I feel that it is such a waste and is very tragic.

Is suicide selfish?
I don't know what to say about this. I feel that there are more selfish ways or taking ones life, I.E jumping infront of a train because at the end, the train driver would be traumatised, people on the train would be shook and then someone has got to go and clean the tracks and trains and I think it's horrible. I think that although in killing yourself you may be leaving behind people who love you, if it is something you need to do, then thats it.

Is suicide necessary?
Only the person with the suicidal feelings can decide this. Some may think that their situation isn't that bad, and can be supressed by having someone there to talk to them and help them although some people may not want to talk to anyone or might not have anyone to talk about. Suicide can seem like the only way out and I can understand this. I'd like to think that I'd be able to stop someone from committing suicide, like talking to them and supporting to them, but at the end of the day, it is up to the person.

What can you do?
Most people think that by talking to a person about their problems, you can help them and prevent suicide but I don't think that this is always what people need because some people would prefer not to to feel like they are being badgered or might not want to talk about the way that they feel.

All in all, I'd like to think that suicide is completely avoidable and that all problems can be worked through but unfortunately, I don't think it is. I think that suicide is something that will continue to devastate people for years to come, and I can only hope that everyone with suicidal feelings has suitable support offered to them to try and help in the best way possible. I think that suicide is such a sad thing, and I hate the thought of someone feeling the need to take their own life. I don't think that these people should be judged for what they do, because we may never know how they were feeling to make them do this to themselves.

Summary: A terrible thing.
