It is sad you know, when you heard that people are willing to commit suicide. What do you think the reasons that might encourage them to do so ? Is it out of desperation ? or anything else? Please tell me your share of thoughts.

I think they lose hope in life. They think that their problems have no more solutions. They think that their problems are too big that it cannot be solved again.

There may think they have a reasons like, guilt, depresion, low self estime and like you said desperation. But I don't think there is are reason they are more like excuses for them not to be strong and try to get by what ever problem they might have. I have also thought at times that there is not reason to live after something really bad happens to me but I try to relax and I see my kids and my family and I relice that there are many reasons for me to be strong a live the best life I can make for my self.

maybe they loose hope...depress...out of their minds or just a coward? coward to face their problems, coward to face tomorrow! or simply they just don't like or love their life! or thinks that their life have no value anymore...:-( and that's very sad...

I guess that time comes when people get hopeless, from life, people around them and even God. When you can't see any possible escape from their problems then they try this easy way to end their agony and problem. But sadly it's not the end and probably they get failed in the test called life. I sincerely feel there is always a way out, but again...only they know what they are going through. May Allah help and guide us all..aameen.

feeling lost or depressed feeling as if they have no purpose and that life is meaningless so they kill themselves to pass on into whatever comes next

It's really problematic when people do that. Something like bad happen to their life, they hate themselves, they have a bad family, childhood or whatever that gets them to do that. I wouldn't kill myself no matter how bad my life might be. It is a scary thing though to see. I say people like that should get help from psychiatrists or whoever can.

it really depends there could be a lot of reasons i know this because i have tryed it a few times and when my mom took me to the drs when i was a kid they said it was normal and i thought the dr was crazy , i mean if something really bad happens to someone and they can't get it out of there head that may cause them to think that way, they could just be really depressed and feel they have no reason to live, or they may feel un loved or un wanted , and thats just some of the reasons that someone may think that way and end up doing it , at least a couple of those are the reasons i tryed when i was a child this is a really hard subject and you may never really get the answer because people do it or think about it for all diffrent reasons

I think having no hope of the life is the main reason. Or maybe they have everything they want and find out there isn't any interest to go on~or maybe someone they loved so much betrayed them...anything like that...

It is a very hard question. One's case is different from the other one. We cannot generalize an answer. People's problems vary in degree. Support of the people around her is very important. One should not distance herself from someone who is in deep problem. Maybe, she needs someone to listen to her. It is in one's deep feeling of being alone that one thinks that her life is wasted. Support and be with her always and don't forget to pray for strength.
