Am I weak for wanting to kill myself?

Liam please don't do this. You are so young and things always, always have a way of working out. You have to believe this, and believe in yourself too. Things may not seem great right now but life has a lot to offer--just wait and see!

There were times in my life when I was younger that I felt there was no hope too and as you can see from my avatar and name I am so glad to be here now. More people love and care about you than you know.

By the way, my mother did commit suicide when I was little and we would have given anything to have her back. We've all missed her all of our lives.

Yes, I would say you are weak, wanting to commit suicide. Actually it is a coward's way out, opting to end it instead of facing issues and defeating them. Pick yourself up, give yourself a shake and find the courage to start over again. Your life is worth more.

I don't understand what you want from us here at AMHD or, for that matter, why you even posted this. Your mind is made up. No one can change your mind.

Yes, I think it's a coward's way out and I think you should see a Physician for your depression and/or need for attention.

You think you're the only one that ever faces problems? Many people face huge problems and terrible lives every day yet they keep going. I guarantee that your life is not nearly as bad as you make it out to be...I bet if you step back and look at it, it's not as bad as you think.

Cowards and p***ies kill themselves. It takes guts and strength to keep going. Give it a chance....you're 18...there's plenty of time for things to improve.

There is only one reason why you would post this here. That's (hopefully) because you haven't made up your mind and you are looking for someone to talk you out if it.

So yes, it is the cowardly way. You are only 18 and, while I'm sure it feels to you that you have nothing to live for, you are only 18! Has there never been good times in your life? weren't there good times with your ex? Don't you want a chance to experience those good times again?

If you really need someone to talk to, there are local hot lines you can research. If you want to let us know your general location, we may be able to point you to some. They will listen to you and help you.

You seem to want a way out of this, but you say you don't want to tell anyone because they would interfere. Of course they would. They'd get you the help you need.

Suicide is the cowards way out. It's so easy to give up. It's a lot harder to make changes and better your life.

So you're failing at school. Take extra courses, work harder, go to summer school to make up the classes you're failing. It's not the end of the world, and there is something you can do about it.

So your ex doesn't want you in her life. We've all been there. I know it hurts, and sometimes it feels like that pain will never go away, but it does. You just have to find a way to move on.

Why not reach out to your friends, talk to them, let them know that you're going through a rough time and you could use some support.

There are tons of options to making your life better. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

One thing I can say - you are not alone in feeling discouraged. So many people are hurting these days. I do not think you are weak - I think you are emotionally hurt and you just want the pain to stop. Many young people think that ending their life is the answer - and they are wrong. You deserve to give yourself a chance - not tell yourself you are going to kill yourself. It is already hard and then on top of it - you hurt yourself more by telling yourself you are going to kill yourself. Nothing could be more important than you - no problem is bigger than you. Give up the idea that killing yourself is the answer to life problems. What you need is re-assurance that everything is going to work out - and you need to stop being so hard on yourself. Go forward with courage and in knowing that other people will help you along the way. Seek answers, pray, ask, - and keep going.

For this I got a disagree because I'm wrong? It's not a coward's way out? That puts suicide in the "good idea" category?

I have to note several people said exactly the same thing I said. I'm the only one who got a "disagree." Have to wonder who has an ax to grind.
