Someone commited suicide this morning Options

[6gcSTVT]

I wake up and go to lunch today as usual... rumors start spreading about a suicide on campus last night. I head back to my dorm and meet my friend who lives on the next floor above me and ask him if he's heard of anything. Turns out his room mate was the one who left at some point in the night and went into the basement of another dorm and killed himself. How he killed himself is unknown since that information will probably be witheld due to the situation. I personally am fine because I didn't know him at all really but with a campus of 500 students it hits pretty close to home. I personally feel that suicide is a permenant solution to a temporary problem, so I don't have respect for people that do commit suicide, but at the same time i know people that aren't all there mentally and with a bunch of social factors that are out there now adays i guess its possible for some people to take their own lives. Thats my rant and it's not often that i do it but it's pretty crazy.....

If you commit suicide it doesn't mean your going to hell.. thats not true at all.
(by relgion yes.. but any decent human knows theres somthing else wrong here)

Sometime people just feel their problems will never go away, and it happens.

To do such a thing you have to be so mentaly unstable, but so stable at the same time to go trough with it.

I'm going to major in socoilogy, so i already know a lot about the whole suicide deal..

Also.. just so everyone knows... suicide is somthing you build up to for months, or sometimes years. It is in no way a inpulvise act. And.. just the stats..

(90% of sucide victums give a sign)
(80% could of been saved)

And your only in a sucideal state of mind for 24 hours.. after that it takes months again to build up to it.

The majorty of sucides happen during the spring.. because everything around you seems to get new life (plants, gets warmer..etc) And than the person thinks there life will get better but never does, so the most sucides happen between spring / begging of summer.
