Suicide should never be an option to solving all the problems that life brings. There are many causes of suicide. For example, a death of a loved one, a divorce or separation in a relationship, a terminal illness, intense emotional pain, feeling that things will never get better, abuse (sexual, verbal, or physical), bulling, low self esteem, and feeling like a failure. With these aspects, individuals start to feel like they do not belong. This is a bad mentality to have because it can cause someone to commit suicide.
There are ways that someone can save a person from committing suicide. First identify a person who is suicidal by observing warning signs such as appearing depressed or sad most of the time, talking about death, observing change in sleeping and eating habits, poor performance at work or school, withdrawal from friends or family, and acting recklessly. After these habits are recognized, it is time to take action. Comfort that person by letting them know that they are not alone. Let them know how hurt they would make their families and friends. Listen to what they have to say. Let them know that things will get better. Show them that suicide has no benefits. Seek help from professionals. Step up and save someone’s life! Suicide is not a joke. Know that someone is always there to listen. Life is too precious. Suicide is NEVER the answer.
I liked the fact that you listed how to save a person from themselves if you would !
ReplyDeleteSuicide is ridiculous and its unnecessary. i appreciate your blog. Loneliness kills, literally.
ReplyDeletei agree with leigh. also, suicide is never the answer; there is always another way to solve your problems.
ReplyDeleteGood job! I agree with Gabbie on loneliness sometimes we don't realize what a person is going through and we exclude them, but that just makes things worse.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Suicide should not be committed. We were rewarded a life, we should not take it granted. Good job.
ReplyDeleteEven though suicide is percieved as bad it is that person's destiny, it does sound cynical to say such a thing but some things happen for a reason. Like functionalists would portray it it keeps society going, everything has a purpose. The reason why some of these suicides become only attempts is because it was meant to be prevented.
ReplyDeleteBut I can completely contradict myself by saying "we never know when were going to die unless we choose to die". great blog!
