What makes someone to want to commit suicide?
Red tape. Example: One works for a company and delivers service that turns a small mom n pop garage into a booming car dealership and one day the owner fires you for cursing. You try to get unemployment through the state of Maryland but they deny you because cursing is supposedly such an offensive offense. So after spending 25,000.00 on college (that your still paying off) and 10,000.00 on tools and Chrysler shuts its doors and everybody thinks they are a mechanic, you can't find a decent paying job. You wish you where Mexican making more money then Americans because they are in some freak-show benefits program offered by the United States government where the government pays another 2 to 4 dollars an hour atop of whatever the employer pays them to keep coming back and working, so unless you change your name to Pedro Gonzalez or Lupe, you live life like a second class citizen, diving into dumpsters with no phone, no home, no car and sooner or later you either get thrown in jail for not buying medical insurance through the Presidents Health care Law or you die because you do buy health insurance with the little money that was intended to buy you a loaf of bread over the coarse of a weeks time. Knowing this or seeing it and contemplating the hunger pains to come, one would rather just sell some of their tools, buy a double barrel 12 gauge shotgun, modify the shot in the shells so what enters ones head when one pulls the trigger reacts to the more then the 95% water level our bodies are made of with battery acid so if the actual impact of the shot from the shells doesn't kill one, the acid will.
I think you're referring to lemmings, a small rat-like animal. However, the idea that they commit mass suicide by marching and flinging themselves into the sea is a myth, it doesn't actually happen.
What happens if a guy takes 5 sleeping pills and whiskey at the same time?
Depending on your body weight, most likely you'll first be slightly over the legal blood alcohol limit for driving, then soon after you'll be asleep AND over the blood alcohol limit for driving.
A very dangerous combination for driving. Otherwise not wise but not likely to be deadly.
(One assumes modern sleeping aids).

What do you do if im suicidal?
There are a number of different reasons why people may have suicidal thoughts. Some people have a mental illness such as clinical depression of bipolar disorder, and those illnesses can be successfully treated by drugs. Other people are depressed because of some terrible difficulty that they are having in their lives, such as financial problems, or a failed marriage, or poor health, etc. Teenagers may believe that they can't live without some particular person that they have fallen in love with, and if rejected may become suicidal. In all of these cases it is possible to get help, although different problems require different kinds of help. If you can say whether there is some specific problem related to your suicidal thoughts, we might be able to give more specific advice. If it's nothing specific, then chances are you need to be on medication.
no! no! no! don't do it! Life is to much important to die for. No one knows what shall happen.
Roman Catholic AnswerAny sin can be forgiven if the person repents, confesses, and receives absolution in the sacrament of penance - this is the normal way that Jesus set things up to receive God's forgiveness. Successful suicide cannot be forgiven for a number of reasons, most obviously because the person is no longer around to seek that forgiveness. The other main reason is that it manifests despair. Despair is an unforgivable sin as anyone who despairs thinks they cannot be forgiven and so they do not even ask. Thus, all the problems a suicide was thinking of avoiding - through suicide - only manifest themselves eternally in hell. Nobody - while alive - is beyond the help of God. So anyone thinking of suicide should call a priest pronto and speak to them to receive God's mercy before it is too late, eternally too late.How many people who suffered losses in the Madoff Scheme have committed suicide?

Fact: Girls contemplate suicide twice as much as guys; every suicide by there are four male suicides for every female suicide, but three female attempts for each male attempt.
How normal are suicide thoughts?
No, they are not, and you should probably go and see your doctor and tell him about this because your life is too important to just end it. You need to get your mental health back to normal so you can live a normal life without these thoughts.
Just to amplify what was written above: Depression is an illness. You wouldn't ignore a broken leg or throat cancer, and yet far too many people ignore Depression because of the stone-age mentality that Mental Illness is "shameful" or "something you could get over if you really wanted to." You can no more shake off Depression by force of will than you could shake off Tuberculosis. It's a disease, and it needs treatment.
Why did Amanda Todd get bullied?
In 7th grade she flashed her breasts on webcam to a guy. A year later that guy contacted her on Facebook and told her to show him her breasts. He knew her address, school, relatives, friends, and family names. Her photo was sent to everyone.
A year later he came back and made a Facebook page with her breasts as the profile picture. Then nobody at school liked her. She switched schools again. A month later she started talking to an old guy friend. His girlfriend was on vacation and he told her to come over. They had sex.
Then his girlfriend found out. Amanda was told nobody liked her. The guy's girlfriend punched her and threw her on the ground. Amanda had sex with the guy before because he didn't want to hurt him. She thought he liked her, but just wanted sex.
The related links has a video that was made about a month before she died.
Why would a teen girl shave her head?
In a society that places high value on the appearance our hair it seems like an odd thing to do doesn't it? It could be she is just expressing herself though. Hair grows back, so unless there are other symptoms of something else going on with her, she probably just wanted to shave her head. Shaved heads feel nice and cool, and if society was not so appearance centric I imagine many more females would shave their heads, especially if they knew how wonderful it feels.
How do people get the nerve to commit suicide?
For me it is because you find yourself at a dead end. Everything in your life is gone. No friends, no job, no income, and no family that cares. When you have a mental disorder you tend to not think clearly and medication takes so long to help. You get helpless and have no one to help you. Because you are so tired you have no energy to seek help. At that point many of us decide death is better than life. I try hard to remind myself why I need to stay alive. It is hard for me at times and feel so alone. I hope this gives you insight on why people like me do so. If you have a friend thinking about it or has told you they want to kill themselves get them help at once. Call the police if you need to and let them know you care. I wish so badly I had someone that cared that much about me.
What does Hamlet think is the reason most people will not kill themselves?
Hamlet's famous soliloquy asks the question, what happens after death, and Hamlet's guesses and presumptions are not at all comforting. He likens it to a dream state, and asks, "what dreams?" -- rather a disturbing question. As such, he pains suicide as an uneasy choice at best.

What is the plot of 13 reasons why?
The plot of 13 reasons why is about a teenage girl leading a troubled life. She has dealt with many problems at school and eventually decides to commit suicide. She makes 13 tapes with one person each, giving a detailed description of why shes committed suicide and the 13 people that made her feel she had to do it. She then sends these tapes to those people to show them what theyve done.
What is the Suicide rate among psychotherapists?
It is not easy to answer that specific question because statistics (nationally/globally) are not available to me - that is, if they exist. However, the number of psychotherapeutic clinicians (including psychologists, psychiatrists, psychological counsellors and the like) who experience the suicide of their client, during or after the conclusion of therapy, has been researched. Although the precise frequency of this tragic and traumatic event is difficult to quantify, estimates of clinicians who reported this experience to researchers have ranged from 22% (Kahne, 1968) to 82% (Cryan et al., 1995).
My doctoral thesis (2010) investigated this phenomenon in relation to how a clinician's identity is influenced by client suicide. I invite further questions on this topic from readers.
