My freshmen year one of my classmates jumped from the fourth deck of our barracks onto the concrete quad below during hell week. Apparenlty his parents had "forced" him to attend and he didn't want to be there. So instead of just saying so and being allowed to leave no questions asked and deal with his parents he decided to jump. Unfortunetly for his plans he landed on his feet breaking both his legs, his pevis, his back and fracturing his skull. He is now at home severly crippled in a wheel chair, with his parents.Last edited by Patroklos; August 31, 2009, 12:09."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights.

One of the real risks of jumping is that you won't die as in Patty's post. Another risk would seem to be if you jumped from a high enough point, that you get too long in-air to think about it. If you change your mind, you are still screwed. The old saying is "It isn't the jump that killed him, but the sudden stop at the end."No matter where you go, there you are. - Buckaroo Banzai

At least jumping off a building isn't going to cause as much inconvenience but very messy. Same with wrist-slashing. Surely you'd want to make a beautiful corpse?
Now hanging or drug overdosing...those are a truly socially-spirited and considerate means of suicideSpeaking of Erith:

suicide is dumb.
that's my word of wisdom for the day.
If you are feeling bad, get yourself a couple blonde hookers, and a bottle of tequila. The message of that statement was that bad times usually pass. And if not, just drug yourself up with SSRI's like the rest of america.

Suicide is painless
It brings so many changes....
Er, that's nonsense, but to my mind it's the most selfish possible act. It assumes that no-one at all cares about you, which the suicider (is this a noun?) may feel, but is very rarely true. You may feel as though everyone has let you go, but truly there will always be someone who still believes in you, whether it be your analyst or your parents (far more likely). Feeling this way just means that you don't understand what influence you may have on other people, who will still care about you however much of a **** you may be. To destroy their happiness as well as denying yourself the possibility of ever having any is despicable. Never give up - this is the only life you'll ever have so make the most of it while you can, however bad things may seem. Feeling lonely and depressed? There are thousands of women who love men like that, just as there are thousands who will love egotistical, fat, stupid, whatever, men. Love is the drug, as the Charlatans once said (sorry Muricans, but they're a Brit band who've played on your side of the pond plenty of times), so why give up until you've felt it? Try everything once, and if everything disappointed you then commit suicide, but I'll guarantee that something will make you feel wanted, and worthwhile, whether it be religion or a whorehouse.

There may be cases of people where no one does care for them. Esp. homeless etc. I don't have much myself. My family is very limited, and have few friends. At times in my life I've had 0 friends. It's tough getting through those times. I've thought about it, but I always had hope those times would pass.
Here's an article in the local paper about a suicide. I followed this case because it was an interesting (local) missing girl story. Girl just wandered off in the woods. Some people have problems, but never tell anyone about them. She had a bf, so her life couldn't have been that bad, could it?
and I could never kill myself if I had a dog. So selfish of her. The life of her dog was at stake. It had nothing to eat out there, and isn't trained to find food on its own. They found the girl, but they can't get the dog to come close to retrieve him.

Not too hard, but I did find a case of a man where no one cared for him. Although that may be because he shut everyone out. Details are lacking because his parents and employer aren't talking. The suicide made a few headlines due to the famous location he did it at.
