It is hard to understand severe depression if you haven't suffered from it yourself. Sorry you can't feel empathy. People like you piss me off.

Hahahahaha - we'll soon have so many crutches for people in our society that nobody will need to take any personal responsibility at all. Kid is high energy - must be ADHD... He was raised without a father, give him a pass because he has 5 kids with 4 different mothers. He's depressed so he offed himself, it's okay because he was depressed though. I don't care what ailment you have. If the guy toting around 80 lbs of testicle to use as a chair at any moment hasn't put a bullet in his skull then there isn't an excuse large enough.

How about I kick you in your 80lb's of testicles?

I'm not actually suffering from that ailment. I only have about 4 lbs of testicles.

So, Junior Seau, a really big-time famous football player, kills himself and we need to mourn his death? His mom, brother, and countless NFL players are now paying tribute? No thanks, count me out.

If someone is truly, utterly crazy, maybe they get a pass. Maybe. Only if they are really completely looney tunes. If someone is terminally ill, drugged up and living in a world of pain, and they have talked to everyone and said all their good-byes, then maybe they get a pass too.

But, if someone is just merely depressed, suicide is one of the most unbelievably, horribly, selfish things anyone can ever do, unless they literally have no one who cares about them, which is unlikely unless they are over 90.

With just one stupid, selfish act that person, at least for a while, wrecks the lives of all their family and friends who have to go on after them, mourning and wondering why. Sometimes for years. I guess if someone doesn't care at all about anyone who might care about them, so be it, and it all boggles my mind because life is great, but if isn't great for them for whatever reason, they should at least think about what they might be doing to others.

Screw Junior Seau, he's an idiot, he broke his mom's heart, and I will look down on his tarnished legacy.

its a ghoulish topic, but a lot of people have academically studied suicide. Specifically, the aftermath for survivors.

One might think that if you have "failed" at suicide, then the underlying condition (depression or painful illness) continues, and you'll just try again, and indeed, some people do. There are definitely a few people who make the decision to die, and are determined to do so (usually painful illness).

Most people don't. This may be a bit disturbing to think about, but often when someone tries to overdose and wakes up, or pulls the trigger and hears a click, or jumps off a bridge and lives, many times they don't redouble their effort. They go back home (after recovery if necessary), go to bed, and go to their job the next morning. Most of them go on with their lives and never try to kill themselves again. Most survivors who jump off the golden gate bridge regret jumping as soon as they are in the air.

For those who are depressed, the thought of suicide is fleeting. Those who give in to that temptation are stupid, selfish, and weak-willed.

Why would I shoot myself? I have children, family, and people who care about me. If I have NOTHING else, that's enough.

I'll tell you why you are an asshole POS. Because you have no idea what they go through before they make that decision.

I once spent more than an hour on the phone trying to talk someone I was very close to out of suicide. She wouldn't tell me where she was. She took a full bottle of prescription sedatives. I listened to her get to where her speech was so slurred I could barely understand her. After she was so out of it she thought it was too late to save her she told me where she was. I was able to call 911 on my cell while still talking to her on the landline. She was unconscious when they got there. At the emergency room they couldn't tell me for hours if she would live. It was a very close call, but she did live.

In better times she was as rational as anyone. At the time of the suicide attempt she was beyond all reason. She was a completely different person. Until you have seen this for yourself it is hard to understand.

I hope you have enough humanity to try to understand that when they are in that condition they are nothing like the rational person they usually are. If you are unable to try to see that and try to have some empathy and understanding, try to have some humanity, then **** you, you truly are an asshole.
