I'm sorry, but to any thinking of suicide, I hope this doesn't seem arrogant or rude for me to speak. I'm sorry, but I have seen a lot of these comments and just believe I have to say something. Please, put in as much thought as you can before doing something like that. I won't say that no one ever has a right to kill themselves, just that a lot of the time, they acted rashly and ended up just causing pain. At my school, two people died over one weekend. One had killed herself, and what happened afterwards was that everyone in that school mourned. That day, half the senior and junior class were gone early, in mourning. It was a horrifying experiance to see people suffer that much, but the thing is there was no way she saw that coming. One of my best friends, one of my only two friends, Zach, almost killed himself. Right in front of me and Gavin, he was about to jump off a bridge and scar us forever with that memory. But, as I want to get angry at him for being selfish, when I think about it, I realize why he did it in front of us. He did it for the same reason people post here saying they want to: they want to hear a genuine plea for their life. they want someone else to validate their existence when they feel like they can't on their own. In the end that means there's hope, a will to live. That means, that you can manage it, by no means with ease, but you can. My advice for when I had those thoughts: small acts of kindness or charity. Nothing major, but just small things, like help the old lady shovel her walkway free of snow. Put away a few of the dozen carts lying out in the super-market parking lot. You may argue the validity of doing these as acts of kindness when you do them to just make yourself feel better, but in the end, don't think of it like that. Take yourself out of the equation (at least at face value) and do them because you will be making someone else's life a little easier and little happier, even if only by a small amount. If you feel life has no natural purpose, that just gives you the freedom to make one for your own. What better purpose is there than to make the world a slightly better place?
Thank you for your time, I do sincerely hope you think this through. Thank you

When you take out life insurance, they have a suicide clause, which states that if you commit suicide within the first two years of buying insurance, you're not covered.
This is of course to discourage people from buying life insurance right before killing themselves.
I think that right there says a lot. Statistically people don't stay suicidal for two years.
I think probably a good practice if you're considering suicide is to get insurance and see if you can wait it out for two years. If you still feel the same way, you can at least provide for the people you care about. You managed to put up with life this long. What's two more measly years? And after two years if life turned out to not suck so bad, great!
