I've seen many people stating vaguely that suicide is either wrong or right. Honestly, I believe that suicide is much too wide a topic to be categorized as if one situation. So, what do you all think? When is it what?

Every Suicide Is Different
Once again, this is a case of technicalities. It all depends on what factors are in play here. Every life is different.
Some suicides are committed out of sheer desperation. Ie. an abuse victim, who suffers regularly, would rather face the eternal abyss, then the pain and humiliation they are forced to endure.
There is bravery, grabbing an escape with both hands, refusing to let yourself wake the next day, to a world that isn't worth living in.
On the other hand, if a person grows up in a society where suicide is commonplace, and people brush the topic aside easily, they will not think much of taking their own life. So as soon as this game of life gets a little tricky, they're no longer playing.

Not our right to judge
whether we like it or not,people always have a reason..when they make a decision or do something,that choice is based on something...for them it is clear...
i can`t stand when people talk about those who have commited suicide saying that they were crazy...just because the majority choses to live doesn`t mean that those who decide it`s time for them to move on (and by moving on i mean leaving this world) are out of their minds....
ever thought they probably know more than those who don`t have the courage and motive to do it?maybe they just saw that the world had nothing more to offer them and they went on to the next....
whatever the reasons....there is nothing that gives us the right to judge them and underestimate them.
i saw how people react to these kind of things...it`s a pitty how they are treated by society..those cases...it`s sad....when we don`t understand,we just run and refuse to see the truth that those people have seen...
how can u say that the right thing to do is to live?maybe we are supposed to live only to learn some thing and find out that the answer to the question "why are we here on this earth,why do we live?" is simply "to die".....maybe that this is it...maybe that some find out this answer before their time comes,and some before and get on......
we will find out which is true at our end...maybe the one`s we`ve considered to be nothing but fools were actually right....and maybe they weren`t.....only time will tell...
whatever the answer....don`t judge them.....give up those prejudice thoughts...

Suicide is an acceptable option in some cases
Have you read Durkheim on suicide?I think that a person has the right to commit suicide after they have matured, and after they have discussed their suffering with their immediate family.
They should have the right to go into the wilderness and die, without leaving any mess for anyone else to clean up.
I have thought about this long and carefully. Rather than die a slow death from cancer, alzheimer's, or some other type of demetia, I would like to be allowed to go away to die. I do not want to die a slow death in some hospital bed.
One possible alternative would be to die in a hospice where I can trust who is going to take care of me. But if the trust is lost, then I must reserve the right for suicide.

But this is a bit different from suicide in the traditional sense.
I've always felt that you have no right to commit suicide unless you're made a valiant and true effort to correct whatever is wrong in your life. If you've done whatever you can, and it's still not bearable, by all means - go ahead. You deserve a rest.
The ones I hate to hear about are the single-mothers with children cases. Those are just selfish.
