POLL: Should I commit Suicide?
Dear, World.
My Name is Jackie
I am 18 years old.
Ever since I can remember I have been bullied for being overweight and unattractive. By the kids at school and members of my own family. I always grew up feeling that it was okay because my day would come one day. The day where I would shine and I would finally get my closure. My revenge and shine, at last! That day never came. I had to transfer out my junior year because it got so bad that I wanted to kill myself. Now Im 18 a high school drop out and fat still ( fatter than I`ve ever been), ugly never had a boyfriend and very low income. Im not talented or smart and depressed. I have no life and no prospects. Dont tell me its going to get better because I know it keeps getting worse.
I dont even know what to do anymore.
I`ve never even been kissed. I weigh 334. 5`10
I feel like Im dying slowly and I`m drowning.

Listen sweetheart, I read your story and it brought tears to my eyes because I have an overweight sister and god forbid she feels the way you do right now. It would CRUSH me to know this is how my baby girl is feeling. Suicide is never the answer to your problems. So you're on the heavy set side, listen mama, there are ways to lose the weight. You can try hitting the gym, eating healthy foods. I was skinny as a child and soon became overweight once I hit 13. I've been battling my weight ever since. I am overweight myself and have successfully lost 20 lbs since and hope to lose more. My own family as well belittled me and made me feel like the scum of the earth with my weight. Even now they still call me fata$$ and walrus and you know what I don't let it get to me why? Because I know that there are other sides of me that are gorgeous. Embrace yourself as a whole, and love yourself for who you are. Not just for what you look like. If you expect someone to love you, how can you expect them to love you when you don't even love yourself. Listen babygirl, it's all about baby steps. You will not lose weight in a couple of weeks it's about dedication and hard work. You want goals? Go back to school there are hundreds of programs that help kids like you get their education. Don't like your weight? Like I said before, CHANGE it. Suicide is not the answer. Imagine how your parents will react when they find your lifeless body? Or when they are given the tragic news that their baby daughter has committed suicide. Think of the pain it will cause them. I bet you are beautiful under all that negativity there is a beautiful young girl who has soooo much potential in life. You are your own enemy sweetheart. You can do ANYTHING your heart desires, yes you say life keeps getting worst but you know what? It's always darkest before dawn. You have to hit rock bottom before things can get better again. Don't do something stupid, your problems can be solved. I don't even know you, yet I have soooo much love for you. I truly hope you don't chose suicide. Good luck, I wish you nothing but the best.

No you absolutely shouldn't kill yourself. Suicide is the single most selfish thing anyone can do. Think about how it affects the people you leave behind. Your family and friends. Do you really want to put them through the pain of dealing with your suicide. I think you should seek professional help. You can get on some anti-depressants or something. If you don't like your situation to the point of entertaining the idea of suicide, why not simply strive to change your situation. Your unsatisfied with your weight so try to diet and exercise. Go back and get your GED to increase your prospects of employment. The only one standing in your way is you, as long as your willing to put in the work. Please, do not kill yourself though, that is not a solution.

Don't commit suicide, that's the ultimate defeat. My advice is to change your life. Lose the weight, become confident, get your education, do whatever you can to improve yourself. Yes you are smart, you just got to use that brain and develop some talents. Trust me, it seems like the whole world is against you but its time you stopped taking other people's ****. 18 is still young i guarantee that in a year if you work hard you can get rid of anything that is undesirable about yourself and surpass everyone else. You just gotta fight your life, literally. dont give up because if you do thats real defeat.

"Dont tell me its going to get better because I know it keeps getting worse."
What do you want us to say then? I'm not going to tell you to commit suicide, because that's ridiculous. Suicide is an easy way out. You have your entire life ahead of you, and are you truly going to end it just because of what happened in highschool? Think about it. If you end your life, you will never have the opportunity to meet someone, get married, have kids and so on. Don't say that will never happen for you because it will. There is someone for everyone out there.
There's a solution to EVERYTHING. If you're overweight - eat healthier and start working out. You'll start to feel better when you know you're making a change. Beauty is the eye of the beholder - you may think you're unattractive, but there will be someone out there who will love you for who you are. Not for the way you look. You say you're a highschool drop out. Take online courses or get your GED. See someone for your depression.
There is always sunshine after rain. Don't do it.

I really don't understand why you would commit suicide for being bullied, if they are messing with your life, do something to them, not yourself.
Your days to shine will not happen like overnight, you have to do something, making a change to the bullies lol tell them you got the police on speed dial, bitches would realize your not playing. Weight? drink lots of water and stay on the best fruits you can eat :D and you do not have to jog, you can talk a stroll walking :).
You can take classes even though you dropped out. Just do not kill yourself for things that can be changed and you aren't ugly.. everyone calls themselves ugly and they don't want to kill themself.

NO!!! That's no reason to commit suicide. Everyone has bumpy roads in their lives. My life has hit many bumpy roads but I didn't commit suicide because I know things will get better soon. My brother died when he was 5. Cuz of Cancer. My cousin committed suicide 2 years ago. My dad is an alcoholic. I lost my best friend last December. So don't give up. I haven't and I still won't.

No. I don't if you're religious or not, but just because you don't believe in Hell doesn't mean there isn't one. If there really is, you might spend the rest of your life suffering because God won't be able to forgive you. Suicide is not the answer. Even you're seemingly stubborn, saying that things are not going to get better, suicide is just NOT the answer. Did you honestly think you were going to come on here and get a load of answers saying that suicide is the answer? Doubt it. But if you think I'm not allowed to tell you that things just aren't going to get better, ok. Kill yourself. Not my problem. But don't take my word for it. ;)
Source(s): Sorry if I was mean. Just speaking the truth. No one's died and came back to life, so they can't tell you what it's like to be dead. Everyone has a place in this world. Good luck out there. - 10 years ago

No, you should talk to someone. I know sometimes it can feel like no one is by your side or even that no one will miss you, but that's false. If you want a better life, you have to make it better! Go get your GED, apply to community college after that, try simple workout measures if you're concerned about your body. Start walking around your neighborhood, do a few push-ups/sit-ups, and try to eat better. Life is worth living!

start by going back to school... it may take years to get this 'revenge' you speak of, but if you work hard, get into college, and find a great job you can then wave it in their faces. I never understand why people want to kill themselves before the best years of their lives.
