Are suicide attempters coward or brave?

I always have this question in my mind. A person who is planning for a suicide is brave at heart or a timid personality? One who is not brave enough to face a situation or face the troubles go for the suicide attempt. But, attempting a suicide itself required more courage. If a person is bold enough to commit suicide, can't he face the troubles with same boldness? Do you have some imput on this?

its not a question of how brave are they, but how low they have gone to actually do the worst thing possible, kill themselves. they are cowards because they ran from what they should have confronted. but they are brave because they actually did something most other people wouldnt do.

I think it all depends on why there doing it. I've thought about it but then it goes out the window when I think about how much I'd be hurting the people around me that do care about me. If you have a choice and aren't doing it for a dang good reason than your a coward but if you don't have a choice i wouldn't exactly call you brave.

Well let's see, last summer, my best friend since pre-k decided at the spur of the moment to stick his head inside a conveyor belt and suffer a heart attack in a mailroom at rockefeller center. Do you consider that to be brave?
