Sucide Attempt at my School

[Bronx Warlord]

Suicide is for the weak, if they want to die so badly let them.

I think there are about 10-20 suicides per year at my school, which I've heard is the highest among American colleges, but I personally don't believe that. From what I hear from more reputable sources, Cornell has that honor.

That actually seems kind of low considering that suicide is the third leading cause of death among people of college age.

I agree 100%, but don't leave children in your wake that you brought into the
world in the first place. It is cowardly in my opinion.

Indeed, this is why I think there should be an IQ test and Psych. evaluation for breeding rights.

 

[Mathilda]

High IQ doesn't prevent suicide.

 

[Bronx Warlord]

I would have never guessed, really.


Anyway I was talking about breeding, my point about Suicide was that it's for the weak, and a high IQ does not make one weak nor strong.

So why do you suggest an IQ test then?

I've met many stupid people that have children( often times several of them yet lack any kind of job skills to make them compeditive in the workforce ), there kids often end up in jail due to a lack of any basic parental skills or discipline while growing up. Sadly with this latest generation of mostly crap, it's only going to get worse. The breakdown of the basic family unit is going to screw up the world in about fifty years or so.

Well I think the direction that one's going needs a thread of it's own.

Suicide is for the weak, if they want to die so badly let them.

I don't think silver's school friend WANTS to die though. If he did, he'd do it, not rant about it.

Highschool kids can be so <snip> mean.
But as I have observed, those rejected kids find their situation greatly improved once thy get passed the early 20's, that is, if they make it there.
I've always been a popular kid in highschool, but right now I'm studying in Oregon, in english, which isn't my primary language, and I'm a lot more isolated so I kinda get a glimp of what being alone means, I'm only here for 3 months and I have lots of friends back home so I'm doing ok, but I couldn't bear to live like this for like, 5 highschool years.

And that stupid people children thing is deep crap if you want my opinion. Who tells you that your not one of them Bronx? You cant define a person's inteligence by his ability to find a job. Actually, There is no way to determine what is either intelligence or the purpose of living.

Well thats your opinion and your entitled to it, even if you have a somewhat soft view of the world. Who cares if a person has friends or not? why care about what other people think? Do they really matter when it comes to your life?

I was not a popular kid in school growing up, I was one of ten white kids in a school with 2,000 students. My parents were not rocket scientists but they worked there asses off to provide a good life for us, and instilled in me a strong work ethic. There is a direct connection in having basic intelligance and common sense and sucess in life. There are very few generaly stupid people that make it.

And yes, life is about work. Move out of your parents house and find out sometime.

I really don't get your suicide for the weak or stupid thing. Van Gogh commited suicide.
I think suicide is often a result of people's environments.

 

[Ancient Grudge]

Personally I suicide as the cowards way out.

On topic: Everyone needs friends, even the 'loser' people. Don't be mean to him and tell your friends to not call him 'gay' or 'loser'

 

[LouLong]

Maybe if people didn't refer to him as 'loser type kid' he wouldn't be as disturbed.

I agree 200% !

Hard picking up on someone is a popular and extremely harsh thing in highschool. And it is a vicious circle. You can either join the majority and judge him from the outside, making his life even more miserable or try to help him.
The guy might be a real weirdo, and not worth it. But it is better to check first...

Well living a miserable life is easiest solution. Sometimes it is better to end things cleanly than spreading your misery. And there simply are things one cannot do anything about: being born wrong gender and unpassable for the correct one, being a pedophile, being unable to interact with enviroment, or being too violent... really violent.
Though I would say that many people kill themselves over petty things and in doing it are irresponsible.

The thing that makes me angry is people saying that Euthanasia is an easy and cowardly way out.

 

[Flintlock]

Someone actually succeded in commiting suicide in the seventh grade in my middle school, he too had no friends, and kids would make fun of him often.
Of course, he wasn't exatly a very pleasant person to be around anyway, and didn't even seem interested in making friends (he'd be mean to other kids, etc)

Exactlty. Let them die.

 

[Akka]

Suicide is not something that should be praised. It's also, in fact, the "easy way out", so to speak.

But when I see people starting to make idiotic judgemental blabbering about people who are desperate enough being low worm that deserve to die...
Well, I can just say that the cretins making these kind of judgement are much more deserving death than the ones they spit on...

Theres this guy in my school and he's those loser type kind of people.

Anyway he takes anti-depressents and that drug stuff. So he's not normal he's really werid. He has no friend he mutters to himself all the time. He acrs weird and he's always picked on by some people cuz he's weird.

Anyway yesterday 5th peroid according to my friend he comes into class and a short while later he asks if he can go outside. So he goes out and comes back in 45 seconds later saying "I'm so depressed, I have so much tension and stress that I shiver when I sleep at night, my life sucks, my cousins treat me like a ravanged dog and I want to end my life" so he says all that and he goes to a drawer and trys to open it saying "Where's that knife? Where's that knife? the teacher had to like grab him him and hold the drawer shut. Yeah so I heard all this from my friend.
He was'nt here at school today either I knew from before he had a mental problem and took anti-depressents and went to a shrink.
So messed up right?

Speaking of traumatic things happening (sort of) at school, I found out that some girl that used to go to my school (but dropped out last year?) was found raped and murdered Sunday, which is surprising for a city the same size as mine (12,000).
