Suicide...

[G-girl]

Yes I've thought of, couldn't help think of it when someone asked me but I never really wanted to. I always thought there was something more waitng to happen in my life and wanted to live to see it.

I knew a girl who did kill herself and it was the saddest thing I had ever experienced. I was so angry with her for doing it. There were many people who would have helped her if only she had asked. And yes she knew we all liked her and admired her. If I had guess what she was thinking, I would have done all in my power to stop her. He death affected many people. I hope never to go through that again, it's just too painful when she could have been so much more than a memory.

It's strange that so many people think of suicide, what went wrong with our society?

it's still 50-50 :S this means 1 on the 2 people you meet or see is thinking to kill themself.

Is this the price we pay for our progress and advanced technology?

My teacher said that the time between desire (for something) and the acquiring (of it) is too short, that it doesn't give us a real satisfaction, the only things that lingers now is addiction, for example, to TV, PC games, etc.

Our society is now focusing on the young people, to be young is everything that matters, this phenomenon is called "Youthmania" (if I translated it correctly)

Parents these days are soft on kids, because they want to make up the time they aren't because home of working and they try to satisfy them with material things there kids, this way we spoil them.
Parents wants to be their kids best friends, but doing that, they let their kids down, because parents have a totally diffrent role than friends, they have to draw the line and act when their kids do something wrong, while friends should be loyal
The youth thinks they have rights, but they forget they also have duties even as an immature kid.

The society has changed, and is still changing

But where did we went wrong?

Suicide does seem to solve all the problems the person has, but think it this way, who's going to wrap up the mess you made? Who's going to bury the body? Who's going to cry out loud? Who's going to commit another suicide out of grief?

If you think about it, those who do suicide are the ones that are selfish that they only think about their own relief, but creating problems for the others to take charge for...

Thinking about suicide is kinda normal... but thinking, planning, and attempting is a real concern... if you know someone or if u've done it... please get them/urself help >.<

Suicide also really harms your family and friends n others. Contrary to ur belief that no one might care about it, I can assure you it's false. If you want attention, there are other ways to do it. I can continue, but simply put... there's always a way out which doesn't involve death.

here the group that commited suicides in japan ( that i said it was truth , freak me out when i reading this)

In Japan, the internet has been blamed for a spate of group suicides which appear to have been arranged in online chat rooms.

Andrew Harding talked to one young man searching for someone to die with.

Naoki Tachiwana opened his apartment door with a surprisingly warm smile, and beckoned us in to a neat living room. His computer was switched on - the screen facing out towards Naoki's eleventh floor balcony, and the night sky above Tokyo's eastern suburbs.

"Last night I was up all night," said Naoki, smiling again, "talking online to this woman who really - I mean really - wants to die. She asked me to do it with her today, but I said I couldn't because I had this television crew coming to see me. So she said we can do it after they've gone."

It had taken days of online research, emails and text messages to bring us here - face to face with a member of Japan's "internet suicide" community.

It is a growing, and morbidly frank underworld of chat rooms and websites with names like "Suicide Club," where thousands of (mainly young) people meet and talk and plan their deaths.

At least 26 people have died in this manner in the past two months.

Death ads

The message boards are littered with personal ads like: "I have pills and charcoal briquettes - I'm looking for someone to die with," and "I'm 23 and want to die. I can travel anywhere."

I asked Naoki - a 34-year-old bank employee who has been off work with stress-related problems for six months - why he was considering joining a suicide group.

"Well, I'm depressed - and that's a disease," he said. "But to be honest, I think I've always been interested in killing myself." His enormous cat jumped down from a shelf and waddled over to the computer screen.

"I'd never thought about doing it in a group before," he continued. "But then I visited a website and thought - ah, if I join this I won't have to go through with it on my own. It's like crossing the road when the traffic light is red... it's not so scary when you're with others."

High suicide rate

In recent months, dozens of Japanese have crossed that road together. In the last fortnight alone three groups of three people, and two groups of four have been found dead - usually gassed in cars on remote mountain roads.

Japan already has one of the highest suicide rates in the world, and so far the internet-related deaths are only a small proportion. But it's a growing one.

"It's almost like a cult... these internet groups," argues Yukiko Nishihara, a Tokyo helpline worker. "When people are lonely and suicidal - but afraid of death - they find these websites which egg them on. There's an inhuman element to it."

But others see the sites very differently.

"There's nothing bad about suicide," said Wataru Tsurumi, author of a graphic, and best-selling handbook on the subject. "We have no religion or laws here in Japan telling us otherwise. As for group suicides - before the internet people would write letters, or make phone calls... it's always been part of our culture."

Ghoulish as many of the sites are - complete with skulls and dripping blood - many of their owners argue that they do more good than harm. Late one night in a crowded internet café in central Tokyo, we met up with a shy 24-year-old who wanted to be known by his online nickname - Ama Terasu.

"My site has a message board, and chat rooms and links to other sites," he told me. "It's a virtual world where you can talk about subjects you can't discuss in real life.

'Vicious sites'

Japanese commuters reflected in platform mirrors
Mirrors have been installed on some Japanese train platforms to deter suicides
"There are some vicious sites which really encourage people to die, and when you get in a group there's a momentum which makes it hard to stop - people become irrational. But my site is not like that. I started it because I had tried twice to kill myself.

"I think it has saved my life - because it has enabled me to open up about things online. And I believe it can help others too."

Back in his small apartment, Naoki was still weighing up his options. He told me that he'd come close to killing himself the day before with another person, but that she'd pulled out at the last minute.

"This time," he said, "it's me who has got cold feet. I told the other woman who wanted to do it today that I was not ready to die so suddenly."

Well, that's what I mentioned in the first page, where the usergroups online formed a suicide group, and giving tips and everything to those who desires death...
