Have you ever known anyone who committed suicide? I have none several, my neighbour's son, my own nephew just to name two. My nephew was only 21 years old, he was in love with his girlfriend and she said she didn't love him anymore and broke up with him, he committed suicide. He hung himself in his closet. It was his friends who discovered him? Do you know anyone who committed suicide, or tried to, or even talked about it, what happened?

yes it is really sad especially when there are small children or even teenagers still left behind to suffer without their parent.

I only know one person really, she isnt exactly close to me, but i knew who she was if that makes sence? Well she wrote notes toher family, gave them her college teacher, and sais please will you give these out tomorrow (Which the teacher thought was odd, because the girl 'would' have been in school tomorrow to give them out herslf. Well, she jumped off a high-way bridge, luckily, well not for her, she landed on the grass verge, and didnt die, made herself look like an idiot, and ended up with 2 broken legs, and nearly every other bone inher body shattered, broke, or messed up! .... dont try it, there is no point, nothing is ever tooo bad that it cant be fixed, there are people out the who can help you =] Regards, Chris

I hope he is better now and will not try anymore, and that he has family and friends around to help him as well.

Yes, my brother-in-law did about a year ago. He hung himself from a bridge, my nephew found him. It was pretty bad for everyone in the family. His wife had left him and he felt he had nothing to live far. So sad.

No, I don't know anyone who actually was sucessful in commiting the sucide and dying, Thankfully. I do however know a few who have tried it. My older brother just last year. He ended up in the hospital and meds and my younger brother once because he fell in love with my other brothers wife and he was 16 and so was she. She told him he made a mistake and loved him but she was playing him like a fiddle because she went back to my other brother who dumped her and divorced her. They were not even married a month. But after having him stomach pumped and told by doctors that he can end up in a mental ward if he does it again thankfully he hasn't. My niece has tried a few times. Luckily she wasn't sucessful it usually over a boy. She has cuts allover her arm deep cuts that will forever leave scars and now she is wanting them to be gone because they embarass her she has to wear long sleeves or answer tons of questions about them. I am sorry to hear about your nephew. It is always the young ones in some cases who think life is over when they lose someone they love not knowing their is love out there if they just look for it who is really for them. My older brother was 36 last sucide attempt. He says it was because he is so lonley and feels so unloved and doesn't want to be alone anymore. But since he quit drinking and doesn't go to bars he can't meet anyone. And it has been a few years since he has had a girlfriend. I told him to try dating sites but he says no. He is wanting me to set him up with friends I tell him I have no friends to which to set him up with..I am just glad he knows he is loved by family hoping that will help him some..but I know it might not last. My hubby gets on my nerves but I seriously don't think I could handle day after day being alone and noone to love or give my love to. I'd probably be one who might attempt it myself. But lucky for me I would never actually have the guts to do anything about it. As much as I hate lonely, I hate pain even more and just the thought of that pain even for a few minutes that it might take me to die just doesn't go for me..I am a chicken..
