Why not commit suicide when life seems pointless?
== == Life is wonderful for me this summer. Last winter I wondered if it made sense to just end it all. There are lots of times when life seems pointless; but you must hold on through the worst. I can't tell you that you'll be happy tomorrow or even next week. But I know that for you the light and the contentment will come if you work at it. Speak to a professional as soon as possible. Find someone to talk with whom you feel at ease. The worst thing you can do is to give up. No you? No tomorrow? The thought of that really sucks!

Married girls are subject to the same kinds of problems which cause various other types of people to commit suicide; there is no unique problem associated with this particular demographic.

How can bullying and cyber-bullying cause depression?
Both bullying and cyber-bullying are done to hurt the person the bullying is aimed at. Bullying includes physical and/or emotional harm. Cyber-bullying is typically only emotional bullying.Constantly being insulted and make fun of or threatened to be hurt (or actually being hurt) can make a person feel inadequate and they may even believe the cruel words of the bully.
They then internalize the insults which can eventually cause depression. They may also feel alone like they are having to face the pain without support. These feelings of isolation can also lead to depression. And lastly, when they reach out for help and no one helps end the bullying, they may feel as others do not care and this can also cause depression.
If you or anyone you know is being bullied, either online or offline, tell a trusted adult. Don't let it continue and remember, don't allow the bully control over your emotions
