just like what has happened to these people from (bridgend) when you make the final decision to end your own life; your fate is in your own hands; from the moment you take a drugs overdose or slash your wrists or hang yourself or any other way you choose to end your life; basically it is up to the individual to choose.

anyone can get depressed at any time in their lives. sometimes it can be losing a loved one or a stressful situation which you can no longer handle or basically just getting fed up with life in general. you could find yourself losing your house; going bankcrupt; even going to a casino and gambling away everything you have got then walk out and shoot yourself. the reasons can be many; but the choice is yours at the time you decide.

the best thing to do is when you are in that situation whereby you are feeling suicidal is to think of what makes you happy in life. it's funny how the little pleasures in life which we seem to forget about because we are busy living a pretty routine lifestyle and there are many things which we fail to do; as we just don't bother anymore.

things like (riding a bicycle) or (going to a theme park) or (going to a zoo) I could list hundreds of examples of pleasurable things which many of us just don't do; either because we feel we have moved on from those sorts of pleasures; or like I said earlier; we get into a routine and tend to leave behind those past pleasures from past times.

I find it sad when I hear of teenagers who are still at school or at college/uni/doing a course; and some choose to kill themselves at such an early age; because they just can't handle the pressures of life. there is always light at the edge of the tunnel and no matter how bad you ever feel; there is always help available. even if it means joining a forum or if you don't have access to a computer; there is always the (samaritans) they will always listen to you and there job is to help you; but ultimately you have to find it within yourself to keep your chin up and get through those bad times and if life seems hard or you are a victim of bullying or even if you are having problems with your family; there is always help available and if one door doesn't open; find another that does.

suicide is something which is always available to all of us; but it's not the answer. life is precious; so enjoy every moment. if someone wishes to upset you then find a way past them. take it from me; it's yourself and the people you care about and care about you that is most important. but if someone is thinking of suicide; then offer them the right advice if you can or point them in the right direction.

if they say (don't pity me; leave me alone) then you may have to get help for them without asking them.
