A Broken Life

How should I start off and end a speech about teenage suicide?

Within the speech I will be speaking about suicide rates, suicidal behavior, common ways of suicide, and how suicidal people can get help. So yeah, does anyone have any ideas to how I can start off and end a speech about teenage suicide?
Your help is appreciated thanks.

I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY COOL IF YOU JUST STARTED OFF BY SAYING RANDOM STATISTICS ABOUT suicide. Something like (don’t mind the statistics i made them up) this look around the room, 44% OF ATHLETES WILL/HAVE COMMITED SUICIDE, 12% of students attending private school have/will commit suicide,10% of students commiting suicide weren’t on drugs 15% of students living in normal middle class households will/have commit suicide, 30% of teens who have/will commit suicide have totally oblivious friends, 20% of students who commit suicide had shocked teachers and parents, 70% of people who knew students who commit suicide had no idea it was coming. Now look around the room, do these people seem happy, think about it. (then talk about like how you can help this stop) GOOD LUCK!!!!

Proud to Commit Commercial Suicide

Proud to Commit Commercial <a href=suicide” />
Nailbomb’s Proud to Commit Commercial Suicide fulfills the promise of its title. Filled with ugly, raw noises, the record is an endurance test for some listeners, sheer bliss for others. The band distills the dirtiest elements of industrial, metal and grunge, creating a scathing, blistering grind. Fans of balls-out, no-holds-barred metal will love it but listerners fond of melody will find it rather tedious.

Was there any good reason to commit suicide during the great depression?

I have an essay to write about if sometimes it was better to die (by getting someone to kill you or by committing suicide) than to live during the great depression, and I have to find reasons why. Any ideas?

The stock market had collapsed during the Great depression. All the businesses were affected. Suddenly people found themselves in deep debt. They lost sight of all hope. Suicides were common.

I think such a situation that is so full of hopelessness can be a reason to resort to the dreary action called suicide.

What are some published plays about suicide?

My father committed suicide and I need monologues not only for auditions, but for my college classes right now. I am looking for one about a girl who suffers from someone elses suicide. Do you know any?

Well, what I’m about to explain to you is a little different then what you’re asking but I think it still fits in the subject. My friend’s dad had past away about last month and she was under a deep depression. She was kind of like a daddy’s girl so you understand what shes doing through. She wanted to go commit suicide because of her father’s death. She took a totally of 15 tylenos to give herself an overdose. She was in the hospital for about 2-3 weeks. I don’t know if this is the same as what you are looking for but this is what i got. Good luck on your essay or whatever it is.

In which countries is an unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide a criminal offence?

I do not mean assisted suicide, abetment or euthanasia, but a simple case of where a person attempts to commit suicide, and fails. I want to know which countries consider this to be a criminal offence.

In all countries, it’s a criminal offense. However, if you are a terrorist suicide bomber and you succeed, you and your family are revered and praised. If you are a terrorist suicide bomber and you don’t succeed, you are a coward and will probably be hung.

How do I get someone I know not to commit suicide?

Okay, so, this kid I know, is now iming me telling me how his life sucks and how he wantes to commit suicide. Nobody likes him at our school and he gets picked on badly. I mean, I want to help, and I keep telling him its stupid and that he shouldn’t, but its getting to a serious point now. Help?
Yeah, I am planning on telling a counsler, but we don’t go back to school until Tuesday. He could do a number of things by then.

First, don’t tell him it’s stupid, he may shut down all together. You should tell the school counselor, and they need to tell his parents. He may be angry at you for telling, but that’s OK. Better angry than dead.

Teen suicide?

Is teen suicsuicide considered by some parents to be a form of teenage rebellion? Some parents think that it is only for scaring them.

Does it have to be black or white?
I know some teens commit suicide seriously, while some teens just to scare their parents. Laters are mostly taking few pills than that is required to kill or jump from 2nd floor and broke a leg, cut wrists not too deep etc… But I cannot say the percentage of shows and real ones.

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.
