If you are going to kill yourself....

I was just reading a news story about a man hell bent on suicide. He drives his car head on into a mini van with a family in it and kills not only himself but the father driving the mini van. His three year old daughter and passenger are in the hospital. I know when people are going to kill themselves they have reached an all time low and are mentally unstable but I can't find much sympathy when they involve innocent people in their suicide. So if you are thinking about suicide then do everyone a favor and walk far out into the middle of nowhere and kill yourself. Leave a note too, so people don't have to wonder why the rest of their lives. Don't leave a mess for others to clean up. Best of all would be not to do it but if you have to, be considerate.

This is something that always makes me so angry. I totally agree with you, why take innocent people with them, if they want to die then go die, on their own. I read stories so often or hear them on the news of one parent killing themself and their children and leaving the other parent behind. Recently I heard of a girl who killed herself and her little boy, reason for doing it, spite because her ex had found another woman and this was her revenge.

How sad.
I also don't have any sympathy for people that do this. If they are so intent on killing themselves, they should do so without killing others in the process.

I'm totally with you on this one. I think that it's okay for someone who really has no chance at life to do it. But they have to give themselves a real chance, go to therapy, talk to people, anything. But if they absolutely must go, they have to do it decently. I think this man was just unstable enough to not think it through, which probably means he never really tried too hard to get help.

I absolutely agree with you...
I don't blame the guy for wanting to die...but taking someone else with you is just not right.
To be brutally honest...my consideration for others is most probably the only reason I have never done it... Even when leaving a note, it's too painfull to think about other peoples pain even if you won't be there to witness it.

Sometimes when people are very down and so angry with
the world around him, he tends to lose proper reasoning.
He find it enjoyable to include as many people in to his
suffering as possible. People like this are sick to their
mind.

i tried killing myself several times, I promised myself i'll never do it again.It's painful, specially when you hang yourself and cutting your pulse is not realy effective and it's bloody too..Besides, Killing yourself wont resolve any problem,it only gonna create a bigger problem for your family..
