i was depressed, had nervous habits and i was suicidal because they spat on me, hit me, forced the door open when i was hiding in the bathroom, blamed me for everything i did wrong. not to mention that the teachers turned a blind eye. when i made a complaint the teacher made me shake hands with the bullies, my dad made talked to my year three teacher to make sure i wasn't in the same class next year. so what did they do? they stuck me in a class next to the main kid who bullied me. and that's not even the full story.
But you said you got over it by beating one of them up, that doesn't sound like you were extremely affected by it, simply beating someone up doesn't take away years of mental and physical abuse now does it.
Let me ask you this, Joe: Have you ever been moderately to severely depressed for a period longer than a month or so?
Yes I have, for over a year now. I have anxiety too. It is very hard, and I have thought of this as well. But, I never let it get the best of me. No matter how bad things get, I tell my self that I am a strong person and that I can endure whatever life hurls at me. People who haven't suffered from depression or anxiety cannot even percieve what it is like to go through this and in my opinion, depression is much more painful than breaking bones. (Trust me, I know what I'm talking about)
I wonder about instances (and I don't know if this ever actually happened) if, theoretically, someone with a terminal illness were to kill themselves before they wasted away. I'm curious as to what it would still classify as. Still suicide, I suppose?

Its happened, a lot. It often takes the forum of assisted suicide because the person is not capable of it alone.
if you are going to be "an hero," it is NOT right. everyone needs to understand that depression is very serious. also, if someone commits suicide in public JUST to get attention, and that person actually does it, there is absolutely NO point in doing it. like many people said, you have to ask yourself some very important questions like: -"Do I really want to waste my life to get out of trouble?" -"what about the ones who love me? will this help me?" ect.. In many cases,its just not right IMO.
Suicide is usually motivated by the desire to test the affection of loved ones or to punish their lack of support with the burden of guilt. Actions motivated by such motives cannot be considered selfless.
if your thinking of suicide because of bullies thats just stupid try to fit in or dont play video games all day and do something if u get bullied thats your fault
Is it selfish? Or, depending on the motive, selfless?
I haven't had a chance to read through this whole thing so sorry for repeating something that might have already been said, but I think it would depend on the situation.

It's your fault for not conforming? Go &*^@ yourself! This is like saying it's your fault for being robbed because you had something of value to steal. However I do agree killing yourself over being bullied is not the correct method to handle the situations.
