Do people have the right...

[Slykaz1]

1: Do kids have the right to commit suicide for such problems when we have people being raped, abused, dieing of starvation, or have some sort of lethal disease who still strive to survive? It's not a "right" it happens. You can't really lay down a law to tell a "kid" what to do. most of the time. Kids who commit suicide. Their parents really don't pay too much attention. And if any attention is given it's not much. Otherwise a parent who does pay attention would notice these problems.

Oh, it pisses me off when a parent goes on the news and claim that they did give all their love and attention to that child, after that child has killed themselves.

how we, as adults behave towards our kids are major factors.


2: Do adults really have the right to be depressed for long periods of time or (even at all) over such problems, when we have people being raped, abused, dieing of starvation, or have some sort of lethal disease who still strive to survive? again it's not a "right" there's no way anybody can say that they don't feel depressed that someone they cared for died, or they're about to loose their home, because of how our economy right now.

I say think positively and you'll pull through.


MY OPINIONS....

[theAlphaDuck]

YES...it is important for younglings to know...

SUICIDE IS NOT THE ANSWER.....

Regardless of what you do...or what your problem always remeber

They have a right too, yes, but sometimes we can stop them.
I've heard people complain that their life sucks so much, that I wrote a blog about it two years ago or so. Though, when I rant, people tend to get annoyed and not listen, even though my intentions are to knock people into thinking sensibly.

These "brats" haven't learned the real world, which means the life they have right now is going to seem like heaven to them in the future.
Each year, the smaller the attention span is, so you can't expect to teach them anything.

Maybe I'm getting off topic, but what they are doing is :

"A permanent solution to a temporary problem"

That's what I believe.

Yes, I'm not about to say we should love our lives, since we haven't experienced the rest of the world, but depression can sometimes be a
problem with the brain.
What I'm trying to say, I guess, is I doubt anyone would leave their current lives for a worse life, so all they want is to make the one they have better.
When the one they have gets worse, it's stressful, but these are our own problems, and we should focus on those and help others as much as possible.

It's such a difficult thing to explain...

I am not sure how any of us have the right or ability to judge another person's mental state.

I am surprised at how many insults are being hurled at people who have attempted suicide.

1. suicide isn't really an option i don't think, i'm kinda optimistic in the way. "Why waste life?"

I have cried so many times in the past week for stupid reasons, being sad and down isn't a reason to stop living, it would hurt your family so bad,

I think if you commit suicide you are being selfish. In the way you aren't thinking how it will affect others I.E. family: friends: and others who live around you.

I believe kids are more confused about what they are sad about. To say your life is shit at a young age, of course is possible in certain situations (like if your parents died etc.) but most of the time kids are in fact, as salvanas has said, being "brats". Even older people have this problem but I think it's more understandable for an older person to be depressed because they take on more responsibilities and take more pressure then younger people.

Anyways getting back on topic, is it right to commit suidcide? I guess that really depends on a person's set views. I personally think suidcide isn't the best choice, I think its a "easy way of getting out of your problems." People in have it waaaaaaaaaaay harder in certain parts of the world and you don't see them killing themselves. But to say that someone doesn't have the right, is also wrong. I think people have the right to end their lifes, because it's their own personal choice, I just don't think it's a right choice. Deal with your problems, killing yourself isn't the answer. Also, people dealing with depression should seek help.

yeah. because, to put it simply, people have every right to do whatever they want with their lives.

2: Do adults really have the right to be depressed for long periods of time or (even at all) over such problems, when we have people being raped, abused, dieing of starvation, or have some sort of lethal disease who still strive to survive?
the origin of depression can be genetic, pharmacologic, endocrinal, etc.
so it's like asking if people with down syndrome have the right to be mentally challenged when we have people with IQs over 150. or asking if someone taking ferrous sulfate have the right to be constipated.

I thought the same way, though I'm not sure that's the way the questions were meant to be worded.

More like, is it morally right?
If it IS supposed to be worded like that, then I completely agree : )

i have my own set of morals & every individual person has their own.

personally, i believe that life shouldn't be thrown away so easily or wasted by being down in the dumps all the time.

but, as we all know, some people will never see things that way. everything's against them, blah diddy blah blah blah.

& i don't like pushing my beliefs onto others.

so, if they want to kill themselves or be depressed for the rest of their lives, then fine. go ahead. as long as they don't drag other people down with them, then i really could care less.

I'll second that, I believe the samething. Person have the right to do what they want with their life's, as long as they don't take others with them.
