My Opinions Regarding: Suicidal Teenagers

The excuses are endless. What is the point in living? We all die anyways. Life is too cruel and unfair. I don't want to suffer. My crush doesn't love me! There is nothing out there for me. My life sucks. All these excuses are for the ones who don't have the intellegence or will power to perservere. Life is tough, deal with it. I've had hard times when I wanted nothing more to disappea from the face of the earth. But I don't actually want to die! It's like climbing a mountain during an avalanche and having the option to jump into a cravas and end it all or fighting to stay alive and climb the mountain. Suicide is for the ones who don't have the mental strength to climb that mountain.

My advice to suicidal people (mostly hormally confused teenagers):

-Don't stop looking over the options. There could be a solution hidden somewhere.
-Ask for help. If you seriously don't want to live anymore and don't know why, then consult a physician or a doctor. It may be a hormonal imbalance in your brain.
-Stop doing drugs! (If you actually do drugs, that is)
-No more alcohal! This may influence those suicidal thoughts (same applies for drugs).
-Set some goals and persue them. Even small ones like reminding yourself how beautiful or smart you are every day can give you a self purpose.
-If you actually are going to do it, then go down with a clean consious and a pure heart.
