A Broken Life

Why is suicide considered selfish and cowardly?

No matter what way you die, the people in your life will feel hurt.
Some people actually commit suicide for serious reasons
such they were abused, raped, someone very close to them passed on, they are clinically depressed.
People also forget not everyone has friends that are supportive or that are even to open to listening to their problems.
I knew a girl who was being sexually abused by her father and her mother refused to believe and instead blamed for the abuse. Wtf kind of parent is that?

suicide is only selfish on the perpetrators part if they are leaving others behind to grieve, and suicide is only cowardly if the person is doing it to run away from something.

The characteristic of the action is not black and white, it can be a variety of descriptions depending upon the situation.

    Every single person in the world is put here for a reason and they can’t be replaced, human life is also a gift (be glad you’re not a rat or a roach) instead of sticking it out or getting help they kill themselves. I think it’s cowardly.

    And the thing about the girl, she had a bad mother, she could of called the cops too.

    i think a lot of times, suicide is more spiritual than anything else. people just feel like they’ve lived a full life.

    as far as your friend who was sexually abused by her father…..get her help. report this to a counselor at school. please do it for her.

    It’s not selfish or cowardly if you’re depressed or have mental illness. When people with depression commit suicide I think it’s selfish for their loved ones to think they were selfish. They don’t know what that person really felt like to drive them to that point.

    People who have never felt that way tend to think that way. People always think something is stupid that they don’t understand….
