People commit suicide when they feel that life is pointless for them, most often they are very depressed and don't see themselves as having any sort of good future. Other people may think 'why does that person want to die and why is she depressed?' but depression is a serious illness just like cancer, Diabetes etc... people don't choose and don't know why they have it. All types of people with all types of different back grounds get it. Some people who aren't depressed or suicidal may say that those who commit suicide are 'selfish' etc etc.. but it's just like any other serious sickness that causes death- the depression got to much. Basically, feeling depressed and suicidal is the worst feeling (i know...), and it is often made worse because people can't SEE it, like a broken bone or whatever, and you can't just 'cure' a mental illness. hope this answered your question!

There can be many reasons; to name only a few:

  • They did something that they could be arrested for so they kill themselves to avoid jail or capital punishment.
  • They have medical problems.
  • They did something that produced extreme feelings of guilt and self-hate (e.g., killed someone when driving while intoxicated).
  • They suffer from Depressive or Bipolar Disorders and have not been treated or do not take their prescribed medicines.
  • They feel there is no way out of some situation they are in that they believe they can not continue to live with (e.g., being abused).
  • Accidental or irrational behavior on drugs or alcohol.

People who are suicidal need to get help from a professional, like a therapist or counselor or psychiatrist. Thinking you want to hurt yourself is only temporary, even if it feels like it's the end of the world. If you're feeling that way, please call the suicide hotline in your country. In the US that is 1-800-273-8255. Or go to the Suicide Hotline Website.
