it disturbs me when something like this seems as though it is becoming a fashion trend among young people (recent cases in Brigend as well as the tragic Japanese scenario).

But in real terms suicidal feelings are difficult for people to relate to unless they have been there. Even if a person has had someone close kill themselves, they still cannot necessarily relate to what it was that led the person to such a drastic step.

And why did you as (i assume) a male poster decide to post this in the womens forum instead of the village square? This is an issue for everybody, not just women. In fact, aren;t suicide rates higher among men?

But in terms of trying to reason it out or discuss it, those who have never been there will never really understand, so its a touchy subject to broach, even though it should be discussed openly. I guess it takes open minds.


YOU ARE NOT DEFINED BY OTHER PEOPLES\' OPINION OF YOU!! ;0)
