Suicide

Ok, I don't mean to speak ill of anyone, here, and anyone mourning over
a suicide, by all means, do so. But you can not be -forced- to commit
suicide, not by anyone, not by any means. In the end, that is a
conscious choice, and if someone tries to say they were forced when they
do it, then that person wants to point a finger at someone they don't
like and make that person miserable, get them pestered by folk. Maybe
the person the finger gets pointed at has done a lot of things wrong, I
don't know. But he or she did not -make- anyone commit suicide, and
pointing the finger when you go down isn't a particularly classy way to
go.

Whatever the circumstance, suicide is a bad escape. Don't do it. It's a
way out of trouble that you don't feel like solving, and it hurts
family, friends, anyone who cares about you. So before you go out and
kill yourself, think about these people, and figure out a different way.
Snub someone if they're bothering you. That's what snubbing is -for-.
When you can just ignore someone permanently, saying they made you do
anything is a stretch.

Having said all this, I fully admit I don't know the circumstances of
this current issue. I'm not saying anything about anyone, and I'm sure
this probably sounds insensitive, and I'm sorry, I just think that
people need to stop suiciding, it doesn't seem to solve much.
