Suicide used to be something that was meaningful. Back in the day, when someone committed suicide they had a purpose beyond this life or reality. Remember Romeo and Juliet, they commited suicide for two reasons (1) so they can see eachother forever on the other side without limitations such as their families (2) because one could not bare to live this life without the other.
But what is suicide now, a coward way to get out of the problems in life. Suicide just seems like the thing to do, the quickest escape. Well whatever your version of what happens after death or whatever you think of suicide is up to you.
What I want to know is what is the deal with all these people and the suicide attempts just to feed their lust for attention.

I agree, nowadays, most suicides that are attempted are not whole hearted, which makes me think that they wanted to appear to have commited suicide, but they live, therefore getting the attention of family, friends and fellow peers. However, I can understand that perhaps people in an abusive home, or addicts or people in alot of debt do honestly attempt suicide. But people, perhaps, that broke up with their sig other, may do it to guilt the x, or to get their attention, which, I dont think, is the way to go about break up! Life s too precious to throw away, live it! Alias xxx

Er...Voted for by sjrlink100.
Funny I found this topic today. I've actually been considering it for a long time, and for all legal red tape, I'm not going to do it.
But there are reasons besides Romance. The reason I would even consider it (and I won't) is the fact that the closest ones I'm near would be off better. I (personally) seem to mess a lot of good things up when I'm honestly trying to help.
I would never do it for attention. I have to much attention directed towards me already, such as my friend reading this as I type this.
Good idea you have, though.

very good, in addition...Voted for by Door on the Left.
Romanticism in regard to the idealistic fantasies of true love and whatnot tends to shove impressionable young minds to prove to themselves and the world how much they loved someone they'd lost, and there are many more circumstances of absent parents in this age, and so many are feeling an emotional absence that they tend to displace on to their young, naive, and often well-intentioned lovers that spew potentially harmful half-hearted promises of eternity spent together, and the like. Oh, and then there are the ever-younger nihilists, seeing life as futile, as it will inevitably end; in addition to those children growing more sensitive by the day because of either their lacking parents, or being bullied by the insensitive at school; and then there are the insensitive, conditioned that way by their "ExxxTREME!!!" environments.
That should cover some of the greatest factors.

yes, i, too, have been through a time in my life where i considered suicide. and i agree with the above written, its not just about romance. I went through a severe state of depression, where there was a chemical imbalance in my brain and i was nnot getting enough of the chemicals which spur the human motivation to live. I had to get some medication persribed that would restore these chemicals. So, some of the time, there ARE other factors, hidden ones, not so dramatized and shouted out today that affect people.
