Remember that girl who killed herself because she was being bullied so much?
You just reminded me of something! This guy, he was gay, killed himself because his friend videotaped him and another guy "socializing" and made it live on the internet. Then he killed himself because he had no privacy. Escape?
Did you ever talk about your problems to anybody? Usually people from the outside looking in can solve problems better than you can solve your own. Not trying to be the .com doctor, just wondering if you got professional help.
We didn't have the money. Besides I don't trust many authority figures such as doctors. If people care about someone they shouldn't be getting paid to listen to them.
Makes me think that I want to suicide now... I remember back in the day when me and my friends in 2nd grade called it "self-suicide" instead of just suicide.
The sad thing is that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
In other words, you die you die, no changing the course of life. But if someone put your porn on the internet, the excitement cant possibly last forever. The same with the girl who was bullied.
Let's talk about bullying. Are you aware of the effects that severe long term bullying can have on an individual? Those who do not commit suicide (which is the majority) are often left as a shadow of their former self. These people are often driven to erase their memories of what they endured through drugs, alcohol, or any form of dangerous behavious. These people end up hating themself for the rest of their life usually, they become inward and trust few people, if anyone.
Now thankfully I escaped the worst of this. The most I came out of my ordeal is insecurity, a great deal of self hate and the need for somebody to tell me I'm a good person. But, let's think about that also. The NEED to be told I'm a good person, christ. This isn't a temporary problem, this is life.

No free suicide hotlines there?
It is for some though. But my point is why destroy your very existence for a year or two at the most, of humiliation.
It isn't always humiliation that causes people to turn to suicide.
The NEED to be told I'm a good person, christ. This isn't a temporary problem, this is life.
And that is one of the reasons people have falled upon religion, to ease the burden that they carry, and accept a faith. But since you will probably answer with "screw religion" I guess I wont ask you if you felt any different when you used to be a Christian.
Part of the reason that bullying affects people is that the people that are getting bullied are too self conscious. They either worry about their body, their social "rank", etc.

I gave up my religion because I felt the so called "god" was doing nothing to help me. I was 11 years old when I stopped caring about religion. I had prayed and prayed for over a year and a half before I realized that god wasn't going to help me and I would have to tough it out. Mind you at 11 I hadn't been through the worst of it.

And answer me honestly, do you feel at all any better?
Possibly an option, but at 14 I really never considered it.
Maybe a bit too personal, don't need to answer if you don't want to, but, what drove you to contemplate suicide? and what made you not do it in the end?
