Suicide
- How many people commit suicide a year?
- Why do people commit suicide?
- What are some other options?
- What is the most common method to kill your self?
- What are signs of someone who is suicidal?
This topic is important to me because I hear about a lot of people trying to kill themselves. I can’t understand how someone could be hurting so bad that they don’t want to live anymore. I have never been at a point so low that I wanted to kill myself. I think this is the worst type of violence because a person is inflicting pain on themselves. A person who cares nothing about hurting themselves doesn’t care about hurting someone else. I also think it is important because a lot of people are doing things that put them on a suicidal path and don’t know it. Being in gangs, having unprotected or casual sex, doing drugs, drinking and driving, smoking, and killing others are all at-risk activities that can be suicidal. People usually commit suicide by hanging or shooting themselves, cutting their wrists, over dosing on drugs, taking too many pills, among others. However, I don’t know which method is the most common. Taking too many pills seems like it will be less painful. Someone who is suicidal is probably quiet, and in a depression-like state of mind. Others may be overly active to give the impression that their happy. People who are thinking about killing themselves have other options. They could get counseling or some other type of help, where they can realize that their life is more important than the problem they are dealing with. Most people probably commit suicide because their on drugs, have no money, are being abused, someone close to them might have died, or they might feel like their by themselves in the world.
