Believe me, I'm not trying to make light of this topic. It is painful for those left behind, no doubt, but those same people need to learn love and forgiveness of those who committed suicide and of themselves. It is not their fault! Easier said than done, I know. I myself suffer from depression and not so long ago, had thoughts of suicide.The worst thing about successful suicides are the people left behind who have to deal with the aftermath. People who contemplate suicide have to know that because if knowing that can stop one suicide, then talking about it is a good thing and not some uncomfortable thing to shun.
What about the person who has thoughts or does commit suicide? What about the demons in that person's head? Being in the dark is a very scary place. Unfortunately, some can never find even a glimmer of light.
I'm sorry to hear about your friend's daughter.
People suffering depression are in pain, no doubt. It may even be caused by a chemical imbalance nothing to do with circumstances. Our bodies have a great influence on our minds.
But once they are dead, they don't feel anything anymore. It's the people they leave behind that are suffering then.
get off your emotional high horse and start thinking in terms of reality. The mother WAS a failure for not being able to take care of her kid. The kid WAS a coward but it was not her fault, it was the parents. Parents need to have more responsibility in raising their kids and their kids failures. It is unfortunate but it is better to be rational and factual than over emotional and illogical.
Have you or anyone close to you ever deal with depression and thoughts of suicide? I, like you, used to believe it is a selfish act.
No. I am part of a strong family and surround myself with strong people.

Depression is an equal opportunity killer. Clinical depression is very dangerous. I would know I have it. I take lots of pills to control my thoughts on suicide. Logic and "strength" are meaningless if someone is deeply depressed.
Anyone that encourages depression or aids it is equally responsible for what ever actions the depressed person takes.
Kids are cruel. Always have been and always will be, but schools can take steps to stop the worst of it and they chose NOT to.
I'm sorry to hear that. I have a friend whose 18 year old niece suffered from depression and when she started giving her prized possessions to her friends, no one knew that was a "warning sign". Then one day her mother came home to find her dead on the floor. The mother called the ambulance and they took her to the hospital. It wasn't until they took an x-ray that they found a bullet. The gun she used rolled under the bed.
The mother, a close friend of mine, was so devastated and then to have the police come back to look for a gun and find it under the woman's bed was just too tragic.
The girl may have been in pain, but the real pain was leaving behind a sister who thought she did wasn't as good as she could have been and a mother who feels she is a failure. In fact, she confided in me right after the tragedy, the only thing keeping her alive was her other daughter and her grand-kids.

People who call the mentally ill "cowards" are "mentally ill" themselves.

So childrens mental issues are all created caused by nurture not nature?
Not nearly as much as your position does!I'm confused too. Your post endorses bullying? Your post endorses the need for greater self-esteem...but through bullying? Your post asks for greater acceptance of Gay people so long as they can be bullied into an acceptable being?I am sick of hearing "Oh no, stop the bullies who pray on gay people." I would prefer to see "Hey parents, teach your kids how to stand up for themselves and a little bit of self worth so maybe they won't turn out to be a friggin pansy ass."
Yeah, I went there.
Also, regular bullying of nerds is just as bad, but at least nerds are proud of being nerds. Why can't gay people be proud of being gay? I thought they were. I am confused now.
So much for "Compassionate Conservatism"!
...psychotic much?

Bullying does not constitute a crime? Ever hear of assault and battery?Not nearly as much as your position does!...psychotic much?
My position of if someone doesnt break the law then they shouldn't be blamed for a crime? Words can not describe your idiocy. Maybe it would be best for you to go get yourself a bowl of fruit loops.

Perhaps I should be more like you. A mastery of English and a sunny outlook that excuses bullying.Bullying does not constitute a crime?

oh my fucking god do you not know english? OF COURSE ITS A CRIME, AND IT SHOULD BE PROSECUTED. But if a specific act of bullying is not a crime then THE BULLY SHOULD NOT BE BLAMED.
You are sooooooooooo fucking stupid.

I suspect you're not confused, a bigot for sure, but not confused. Why not proudly stand up for bigotry? Don't be a "friggin pasy ass", put on that white robe and wear your ignorance with pride.
Compassionate Conservativism is dead; killed by hate and fear and callousness (or maybe it never really exisited?).

Are you telling other people how they should raised their kids?
On another note, why don't all parents teach their kids to use guns and become thugs on the off chance a thug mugs them? I mean it's the parent's fault the kid was pansy-ass enough not to get mugged, right?
