If you don't want to do something, you don't have to. Nobody's holding the gun, or the knife, or the bottle of pills you're gonna kill yourself with but you. You make it sound like it's not a choice, that these people have to do this. If it's a mental battle, I don't think that's a sufficient reason to kill yourself. Of course you have a choice to do whatever the hell you want with your body, I'm not denying that. If you feel you have to kill yourself, it's your choice, nobody's stopping you. The thing I'm trying to say is that although it may be your choice, it's most likely (but not ABSOLUTELY) a rash and hasty decision where there's most likely a better resolution.
Certain cases I may see that the quality of life has deteriorated to the point where life is now rough, but even then you can make great things of yourself. Not to pay any disrespect to those we've lost to suicide, because I will not take lightly the death of those who made this decision, but it seems that this is an easy way out, sort of a moment of weakness in where you don't really weigh everything out. Ever heard of Stephen Hawking? The man is debilitatingly crippled, he can't even talk, yet look at the things he's done with his life. His handicap far outweighs the effects of male pattern hairloss on the quality of life of an individual. Christoper Reeves, rest in peace, was also in far worse shape and chose to fight it out for the sake of his loved ones and his own self-respect and dignity. These men didn't just give up at the first sight of an imperfect life. They fought through incredibly rough times, and became an inspiration to the rest of us. To just give up on life denies alot of people your company, and it denies you the chance to make something great of yourself.
I truly believe that there are many options not exhausted when somebody commits suicide, and had these avenues been explored, the tragedy could have been avoided. Again, I'm not trying to disrespect those who have made this decision, as it was their decision to do what they may with their own body, and it's truly a tragedy when one ends their own life prematurely. But can you tell me that when somebody commits suicide, you don't wonder if they seeked or received all the help they could get? Can you tell me that you honestly think it was the only thing they could've done given the circumstances? If you can, I could not do the same.
I can't stress enough that I'm not trying to belittle those who make this decision, and that I'm not trying to pay any disrespect to those who do what they may with their own life. But a life is a valuable thing, and to throw it away in the face of immediate adverse conditions seems wasteful. We all have so much potential.
