So, I had a conversation with a co-worker today. Th subject got to how I personally knew (Friends) that committed suicide. He says "I think its a selfish move" I paused and thought for a moment. He is right, Its is a selfish thing to do. You don't end a problem, you create more. Someone has to pay for the funeral, if in school, you have they have to explain that a student has died. And worst of all, grief of family and friends, who may never recover. I can understand that you may not want to tell anyone, but there are people, who don't even know you that want to help! You can talk to a school councilor, some work places have hotlines, and if you think of just ending it, there are people for that too! For example, SAVE, a website you can get info and a phone number to call. All these are great ways if you feel uncomfortable talking to someone you know just do one of these. SO, remember that there is a solution, and suicide is NEVER the answer.
