People are not selfish for committing suicide, they're just so hurt they don't know what to do.

No, it's pretty selfish. Not knowing what to do doesn't change that.

It doesn't feel selfish when you're suicidal, but when you aren't and you look at it, it really is. You're putting your want for the hurt to be gone over the emotions and well being of the people who love you, which in turn sometimes leads them down the same road. Putting yourself ahead of other is selfish, and while sometimes it's okay to be selfish a bit, this isn't one of those sometimes.

... What if they don't want to commit suicide because of bullying... It could be stress, or anxiety, or pain from loss of loved ones... There are multiple ways severe depression can evolve, not solely from bullying/ harassment.

Suicide is still a stupid thing to do. Maybe the people committing suicide aren't dumb, but the act of suicide itself is stupid.

No one who commits suicide is trying to be selfish. I'm suicidal I have been since I was 13 and you usually think no one will care if you do commit suicide, it's not until it's you're actually doing it that you realize people do love you and problems can be fixed. Life's tough man and sometimes people don't know how to handle it.

Sometimes people don't even know the severity of the problem until you commit suicide. That can be one reason why you do it, no one takes you seriously while you're in pain.

That's why mental illness needs to be taken seriously it isn't some cut you can put a band aid on and be good. And when you're young everything seems like the worst thing you can be put through because it's the first time your going through it so it is the worst. People need a little more compassion.

Gonna get alot of downvotes for this but suicide IS stupid. I mean at least 1 person cares for you alot. You don't just leave them here in pain. And it's usually over a stupid situation like bullying. One you can tell the adults or you can ignore them like a badass. Unless it gets physical. Then beat them up. Or if it's cause your parents are yelling at you all the time and telling you your a disappointment. They love you. They are just having a really hard time. Thats how my mom was when my parents got a divorce. She always get mad at me and tell me I'm useless. No matter how hard I try to make her happy she puts me down but after a while we were like how we used to be. So if your thing of suicide don't do it.
