Is suicide ever the right option?

I mean, when most people commit suicide, it's because they think it is their only choice. They don't think they really can be happy. They don't really realize just how important they are to some people. They don't realize that they had other options, and that they could have made a change and made things a bit better. For many people who commit suicide, it's a mistake, and a really tragic one. But what about the people who really don't have any will or reason to live? What if someone had no family or friends who had missed them? What if they had no source of happiness at all, every day, and suffered all the time? What if they were in a no way out situation? Is there any reason that it would make sense for someone to commit suicide? What I think is, there is only so much a human being can take, and if they really know that they can not go on with life, and make the decision in a rational state of mind, what is the problem with it, really? What if committing suicide is the only thing he or she would have done to make him or herself feel better in years? Is there any situation in which there is no reason to keep living?

i think it's wrong that people solve their problems by trying to kill them self. that is not the right ideal. she should solve with a guidance counselor or if you can't do that you can always talk to friends cause that's what friends are for.

Some people have no friends to confide in.... and some people feel that they can't confide in the ones that they do have.

I hate to say it - but there are circumstances, unique ones, where a person truly does not have a shot at normalcy or happiness. I really do hate to say it - but it's not their fault, more the fault of family and friends and strangers - we're so blind to the suffering of others. LEt's all do a good deed: smile at a stranger for the heck of it or donate to a worthy cause. We can ALWAYS help! Lives can be saved people!

It is the very wrong option because you won't be having a chance to correct your option later.
