Just because there is abundance of life on the planet, it doesn't excuse the situation.

The mans wife would of been going through if not more so what he was going through. And forgive me he couldn't of been in that much of a bad state to update his Facebook status mere minutes before he hung himself.

Life is a precious thing. Good things happen and bad things happen. It's what defines us and I simply refuse to accept this immoral action as anything less than selfish.

I'm sorry, I don't have any sympathy for people that kill themselves and leave devastation and pain behind.
Answer me this Glenn.... what do you think of the boy who killed himself (the one who was bullied)?

Shaun 22-02-2012 06:15 PM
Making jokes about the widow having to dig holes? No not rude at all.

Keep your opinions to yourself if you know they will effect others

The same as the father. I don't condone suicide. It's awful that the child was bullied and disgraceful that it wasn't picked up.

Needless to say suicide is not an option

Clearly you did not. People can hide things easily. Not one of my close friends know about my depressive past but they would all say they knew me.
You are ignorant beyond belief it is incomprehensible.

And? It's no different to having Whitney Housten on your deathlist.

So was the child also selfish? Or were the teenagers who made his life un-liveable the selfish ones?

So you would prefer that boy and that father to just live in suffering and torture from their own minds?

Well clearly I did. And exactly how am I ignorant? Because I fail to be a sheep and say exactly what's on my mind?

I don't agree with suicide and have some sympathy with the case Glenn is forwarding here. However, it's impossible to know what is actually happening inside the head of the person concerned, unless you (rather impossibly) walk a mile in their shoes.

No one knows how the connecting circuits of our brains, are firing/misfiring in the heads of others.

You cannot even contemplate the fact that someone you 'knew' had other things going on that she wouldn't discuss with you which would put her in a pit of helplessness. No not ignorant at all.

Right......... clearly most on here will have to agree to disagree with you.

It's obvious, the alternative on offer seems to be a lifetime of unimaginable emotional and mental suffering which can never be assuaged. We all lead very different lives depending on the interaction of so many environmental, circumstantial, familial and genetic factors. How on earth can anyone say there is a "one size fits all" solution to such an emotive and personal issue? Having an open mind on the subject does not mean it is condoned - just understood.

Do you disagree then?

The child was selfish to kill himself and the bullies were just as selfish for causing such upset.

I fail to understand why anyone is condoning this, but to instead insult someone who disagrees with suicide. And I'm being rude??

Jamie. 22-02-2012 06:30 PM
I know how this kid felt, nearly.
I was not bullied for being gay, because I'm not.
But I was bullied because of a disability and once, just ONCE felt suicidal.
And it's horrible, a horrible feeling.
So you, Glenn, have NO right to say that its selfish.

No I'm not. She killed herself because she wanted to show her parents a lesson. She was a happy girl, pretty much the perfect life, boyfriend a decent job.

I think you're the one being ignorant. But hey, what do I know.

In this case, no.

Glenn. 22-02-2012 06:33 PM
Yes I do.

It's my opinion. And it's an opinion that echoes across the world.

That is what you think/were told. She would have had other things going on and will have had a mental defect where by the chemicals in her brain were not functioning correctly.

We are not condoning suicide but sometimes it is an option, if someone is living an amazingly painful life with no joy and no hope, why should that person carry on living it?

You do but it is a ridiculous use of the right.

Jamie. 22-02-2012 06:35 PM
Glenn, I am not going to argue with you, but I ask one question, Have you ever felt suicidal OR tried for a reason of bullying or a relative dying?
