Why shouldn't I do it?

Hi Ben,

Son, I understand you are hurting right now and in your current circumstances your mind & emotions are telling you "this is going to go on forever!" I'm here to tell you that all things & circumstances change. You are unique and highly valued!

You may get answers like, you're weak, you're being selfish, or worse. I would encourage you to think about the negative impact doing such a thing would have on your family, and friends. What I can say is that your emotional pain is real, I can imagine you hurt deeply and there's a very good chance you are clinically depressed. Not knowing what the root cause of your pain is I've listed a few suggestions that may help:

1) try taking vitamin supplements in particular vitamin B-complex, vitamin D as well as a solid protein supplement called MetRX, and if you have a little money, purchase L-arginine & L-ornithine (pharmaceutical grade crystalline protein is the best, I would recommend Twinlabs) and take the amino's on an empty stomach before bedtime. Cut back on sugar, caffeine, stop drinking alcohol and any non-proscribed drugs, if you are doing so.

2) try to get outside more, particular during the daylight hours, this too should help

3) start off easy but begin a daily workout regimen of 30-45 mins and increase as you get stronger.

4) find someone you trust, respect and has solid family and relationships with others and talk with them and get their perspective.

Things will change and it will get better, be an active participant in your life, actively pursue those things that give you healthy pleasures and make you happy e.g. like school, working out, drawing, working on cars, etc.

And thoughtfully, consider giving your life over to Christ and allowing him to direct your footsteps. Christ, God's only Son, loves you unconditionally and will help you.

God Bless,

I am just gonna tell you two things.

1.Killing yourself is like the lion exiting the jungle. The lion can either try and go hard, or quit.

2.There are so many things to love about life...even if you haven't noticed it so far. There are a lot of people that dislike their family and their friends, but they just keep going because they know that if they have a bit of patience, hope, and try a bit more, it will all get better.

Do yourself a favor and do not exit the jungle. We are all lions, it is just that some of us haven't noticed it, they haven't unleashed it. Love yourself. If you don't love yourself, how can you expect someone else to do so?

Your family? Do you mean your parents or siblings, or both?

I do not know you, so I can't think of good reasons of you as a person, so I will give generic answers.

* Death is the end for everything, and nothing can return from death, so no turning back if you chose this!

* You live with your family for 18 years, then you have the rest of your life to yourself.

* You won't like this, but: You can always get help on this subject, your school could help, if you tell them.

@Manny: Your answer could be offensive if "Ben" IS gay, please think before you use "gay" as a negative term.

Because it's extremely selfish, all those doctors and nurses who have to try and bring you back to life because otherwise your family will be devastated, your friends will think they did a bad job at being your friends and feel guilt for the rest of their lives along with your family. Your teachers who would feel awful that they didn't see that you were depressed. And I bet you can think of so many more people that would be affected by this, so don't do it, there's no need.

Dude I feel you I hate myself and once wanted to kill myself but who knows what happens next if you go to hell then your going to be worse off than here so I still hate myself but in a good way

cause dead is boring, plus you can use your life to help others if you do not love yourself enough to live then do it for others that want to but are starving or cold. Plus killing yourself is cowardly gay, be a man , join the army or something.
