Taking a life

A week or so ago, news spread that one of our neighbors tried to commit suicide by slashing her pulse and neck.
Fortunately, she made it and is in a different home now for a change of scenery.
I won't deny I have had some thoughts of committing suicide but I never really acted on it because I fear the consequences of my actions.
What are your thoughts on suicide?
I was about to sleep that morning when I heard the news but sleep got delayed because I was really bothered that someone who's just 24 would do that. :(

I came to the point of breaking down, but never thought of taking my life.
The thought of leaving my mom in-despair hold me back from doing or committing drastic action.
I know some are not strong than the others and we cannot judge them.
All I can say is, I am thankful that my family are always there for me- to lend a hand whenever I fall.

That's true... some people really do have their reasons for the actions they do and we can't always blame them for doing so.
It's really very hard for me to think of how my parents would feel if I do this, so before I even get to actually doing something, I stop the thoughts in my head. :)

very sad... even when things get tough. Id never ever think about doing that. I cant imagine how my son and rest of the family would feel after hearing I did that. God bless them there.

I don't think I'm brave enough to take my own life. And I guess this is a good thing since my 'cowardice' made me get over my problems instead. Besides, I think taking one's life is a selfish act since you don't consider the effects of your action to those you're going to leaver behind.
