A very powerful message...
But some people don't take you seriously unless you say you're suicidal...I'm not saying I go around saying it, well once when I actually felt that and said that they still didn't take me seriously...hmm...

Hi Amyyy =D

Eventhough I'm speaking to you just now, I wanted to leave a message on here to.

As I said I read

"Are you thinking about suicide?
Thinking about how, if you killed yourself, nobody would care?

Think again.

If you kill yourself you will change somebodies world. That's right. They will see everything differently. Just hearing your name will burn their mind with memores. They wont be able to go near where you lived, even your town will hold memories. Listening to the radio they'll hear that song, remember,that song you sang with them once? They'll step past your locker every day and wonder why you are not there. Why are you not there??"

And started crying. I'm not going to continue just now. But I will read it all one time =)

I'd give you those hug things but considering I'm only about 3 days old on here, I don't know how :(

So *Hugs*

Thanks for making me happy tonight after I was crying lol. Your really nice.

I read a comment from someone to me, and then after e-mailing you. It made me realise this site is really amazing =) I love the people on it, I'm so glad I got told to join this =) I prob wouldn't of if my pal didn't tell me to. I'm SO glad I did now =D

I'm glad to be apart of the RYL Family =D

And one day, I might just tell yous my name haha =P =)

love you all.

Thank you everyone, so much :)

This really didn't effect me at all.

But, I understand the concept of "what about the people left behind?" I felt that when I went to a funeral and saw first hand how much impact a death can have on people left behind, even by natural causes. But then, I think of the people I've known who've died throughout my lifetime, and while it hurt at the time, I moved past it, however, all these people had been ill before hand, it wasn't sudden. I guess a suicide can have more of a lasting impact because it's unexpected.

There's only one person who I feel I need to keep going for, not they know they keep me going, and that's simply because I know they'd not move past it. I can't relate to the majority of that post really, but then, I'm not a school kid, I don't get a bus every morning, or have a locker etc. That stage in my life is nothing but a memory to me now, I don't even talk to anyone I went to school with anymore.

This is a brilliant post i think for anyone. Those who are currently suicidal and to help those who have lost some who committed suicide.

I recently went to the pub and it was full of mourners for a 21 year old lad who had hung himself. The worst thing about the smoking ban is that it forces us into situations like i was at that wake.........

Everyone around me was talking about this guy and saying "why" over and over. I kept hearing people try to work out just why somebody would take their own life?? He had a girlfriend who was devoted to him and lots of friends and no-one could understand why he would want to end it all. Unfortunately for me, i had one too many drinks and when i was asked my opinion, i started to cry and said i know exactly how he felt because i have felt like that many times, only i'm still here to tell the tale. I then told them all that there was nothing they could've done and tried to explain just how it feels when you're in that big deep hole of darkness. I don't know if it helped any of them, but i did mention this site and told them that there was some real help on here, it's wonderful to have somewhere to come when you're feeling low and it feels good to be able to help someone else at the same time

I'm currently not great, but just reading this post reminded me again of how much it can affect everyone forever........... suicide is never understood :(

Every time I start feeling seriously bad, I read this thread and try and think about it. It really does help to try and combat the feelings. Thank you so very very much for posting this. And I know my family would thank you too

Thank you for making this thread its all true... I just wish my four friends would of been able to read this before they died...

[Pastel Epiphanies]

just read, and read through all the comments. I have to agree with the few who said that being "guilted" isnt the best way to get someone out of that kind of thought process, but I also have to defend it saying that my love for my mother and my fear of hurting her so deeply is really the only thing keeping me alive at this point. Its better to have a crap reason than no reason at all.

and it really does affect everyone, a boy at my school who I didnt even know killed himself my junior year and I had never even met him before and it affected me, because I had to be strong for all of my friends who did know him, I had to be a pillar of sorts. it was strange.

good post though, most excellent

[over and out]

what happens when there is no one worth staying for, no one at all who could possibly care?

[Perplexity]

I've just read this post and it made me cry! It really touched a nerve with me and made me think twice about suicide. I have been feeling suicidal lately and little things like this really remind me that there are so many things to stick around for.

This site is awesome = ] Thank you for posting that it really gave me the kick up the bum I need!

I really couldn't give a fuxk the now, apart from my family msising me though.

But honestly right now I'm being bullied so bad, I want my life to end. To be honest I dont know why I didnt do it lastnight.

Feel fxucking sh!te tbh.

Everyone around here hates me.

I'm physcidally to scared to go out my house now and I'm even scared coz a a few boys said there going to come to my house.

One of them said they'd burn my house...what if they do when me or my family are inside?

I hate life.
i hate living.
i hate my life.
this sucks.

whats the point in living just to be tourchered?
