http://jina20.blogspot.com/I agree that suicide is a form of bad behaviour and it is a subject that many people find difficult to discuss as it is hard to understand, so I'm glad you bought it up.
This really is a horrible subject and one i am unsure about myself, having never suffered with severe depression myself. The website above is designed to help friends and relatives cope when losing a loved one to suicide.
The reason for suicide seems to be the relief from the pain they are experiencing in this life.
It really saddens me to think that there are people who are hurting so much that they feel the only way out is to take their own life.Suicide used to be most common in older people, as they were more prone to 'triggers' such as loneliness and losing a loved one.However, it is now most common in young men.

I used to think that suicide was the cowards way out, especially when it was committed by people who had done something badly wrong in their life and had their future prospects taken away. After thinking about this in more detail, to commit suicide takes real guts, as nobody knows what exists after death, and what exists could be far worse, so to enter the unknown is a very brave act.
Although, i do understand that some people may be so severely depressed or mentally ill that they do not understand what they are about to do, or somehow think it is a good idea.
It is so sad when people end their lives due to things that could have been resolved, such as divorce, bullying or bankruptcy.
Even worse though, is the roller coaster of emotions faced by their relatives and friends after their death. As the website above points out, they feel guilt, anger and isolation. I think it's hard enough to deal with the death of a loved one, without knowing that they actually chose to take their own life for reasons we may not even understand.

This really is a tricky subject, and one that truly is sad.
In conclusion, it is great that people who feel suicidal can now get proper help from charitable organisations such as the Samaritans. It must be a really hard job and the people who volunteer to help should be given medals.
