Why do people say "suicide is the easy way out"?
Answer:
you are very right. you have to have guts to do that. my mate committed suicide a few years ago - no one had any idea as he never used to talk about anything like that so it came as such a shock. all i know is that he must have been suffering so much. and the way he done it was far from easy - imagine jumping from a chair with a rope around your neck - good god what`s easy about that? - yes be careful peeps. suicide is never easy, in fact, the hardest thing in the world.
no i have never tried it and i don't see how it is easy either
Cowards way out GET SOME BALLS THATS WHAT I SAY
well my freind did and i have tried but dint succed
They should say "Suicide is the Cowards way out".
Killing oneself is not only pathetic but Stupid, anyone who's willing to do that contact me before, i'll kick the ***t outta you before you do it.
Ok peace
People say it's the easy way out and selfish because you are hurting everyone that you leave behind, forcing them to deal with your grief.
People generally say that because instead of facing your problems head on, you choose to instead take your own life and put an end to it once and for all.
Even from your story, and no offense meant, but rather than take it as it came, he made the decision to end his life.
As someone whose battled depression for years, I know the feeling of rock bottom. I always put my family and relationships ahead of any thought of ending my own life. No matter how badly I ever felt, I knew that my selfish action would effect too many others.
They say that because they're referring to the fact that ending your life is quicker than fixing what's wrong with it.
I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your brother. May he rest in peace.
I agree with you completely and I'm sorry for your loss..people do use that term loosely which is stupid and quite inappropriate, i slit my wrists, many years ago now for reasons I'm not going into now, but at the time it seemed like the only way out..i regret it now and am glad to still be here.
people on a whole should think before they speak.
Thats really awful for you, your family & your brother. I don't understand why people say suicide is easy. How can it possibly be easy? Sometimes even hurting the people we may leave behind is not enough for some people to stay in this world, suffering. If the pain feels so great, suicide could seem a relief. I have considered it in the past myself but never tried to go ahead with it.
The people who say that have never been in the unfortunate position of wanting to end their lives. Many of them have no understanding of how it feels to be in such an awful state that you no longer want to live. I have been in that position after my mother was murdered, I felt I had nothing to live for, that's all I will say on that. I'm happily married now with my first baby on the way so the bad times are behind me, but I do know how it feels.
My great Uncle committed suicide in the early 80's, he was in his mid fifties and he thought he had cancer. He took his own life rather than have to tell his family and for them to have to watch him die a painful death. It turned out that he didn't have cancer after all.
I am so sorry about what happened to your brother, what a tragic story. I hope you are coping with it, he did not take the easy way out, it takes an awful lot of courage to do what he did, he felt he had no alternative. I'm sure he is in a far better place now.
Yeah i tried it, ended up in hospital a couple of times over a couple of years. Suicide is the "easy" way out because giving up is easy, facing a situation no matter what it is or how unjust isn't, It got too much for him and u should not try and reason it out. Life is such, we all die, in different circumstances, the challenges we face as ourselves in life are ours alone. When our time comes, all we need to know is that we faced the challenges as best we could, not giving up. Many around us will be lost along the way, lose their way or be taken away. That is their journey, their quest, they may reap something in the end , in their souls, let us not judge if they have lost, but keep them in our thoughts and prayers as we complete our journeys, our quests. Suicide will always be seen as the "easy option" because otherwise no one will have the strength to complete their quest. For those who do choose it and succeed, it was their time. The time of our death has been written long ago, it is foolish to think we can alter it in anyway, we can just make the best of our quest... and let god be the judge...
i am so sorry for your loss i dont no why she should be in trouble to it was wrong .for her to do that to him i dont under stand teens these days i have 2 girls 1 is 18 and 1 is 15 .but they would never do something like that to some one i hope she thinks about what she has done to you and your familey. i will pray for you god bless.
I believe that your body and your life belongs to you and if you wish to end it then that is between you and your maker and no one else.
how can anyone say its a cowards way out it takes more balls to put a piece of rope around your neck and jump than i can imagine i dont think its the cowards way out i think in some cases people see it as an only option im sorry to here about your brother,some teenage girls are to loose with there mouth
Oh my god what a shocking story. I'm really sorry for your loss.
Your question... I think it's a way of coping for certain people who say it's the easy way out. What they don't realize is that life is incredibly hard for those who did commit suicide and they just didn't see a way out anymore - i have felt like that.
People just tend to use cliche's in situations that are very hard to cope with or understand.
I know we don't know one another, and having me say that I'm sorry for your loss probably won't mean much, but yours is a tragic story, and I'm sorry for anyone who loses a loved one. Especially when their loved one felt they were driven to that choice by another person. Your step-niece will have to answer for her actions one day. You are right . . . suicide isn't the easy way out.
My brother in law attempted suicide while my sister in law was pregnant he said he felt under pressure he was also training to be an accountant.I do feel that he tried to cop out but he had a complete mental breakdown and now says he is glad to be alive.Anyone can snap I suffer with depressinn although I have never attempted suicide I have thought that it would be easy to eg drive in to a wall.I an sorry about your brother and his stepdaughter should of got time in prison for wasting police time but what goes around comes around and she'll get her's
a harder thing to do is to learn to solve your problems--some people see that as impossible --whereas ending your life is highly possible
well I have tried before and well I think ppl call it "the easy way out" but you don't have to face what ever you are struggling with that maynot be the case in the situation with your family maybe he scared himself by worrying and he thought it was the only way to escape, I am very sorry for your loss and I will pray for you and your family. You can email me if you ever need anything and I will see what I can do. But before I stop talking I would like to tell you about someone who can change your life If you let him. His name is Jesus. and well if you believe in him and that he came to the earth to save you from your sin(everyone has sin and all ways will you just have to ask for forgiveness and repent from that sin)and ask him to save you and come in to your heart to save you and truely live for God (who is Jesus, the Holy spirit and the Father) you will spend an eternity in Heaven with God and you can really know his Love. I know all of this is probaly shocking right now and I know you probaly weren't expecting to read all this which I have wrote but please think about Jesus and accepting him as your Savior and all of this is probaly confusing you but if you want to accept Jesus please email me and I can help you. If you want to I want to help you feel Gods Love. But as for your situation there is nothing you can do but pray after you accept Jesus But I will pray for you.Thank you for reading my answer. Just Please think about accepting Jesus.
With every second passing, you are given the choice to kill yourself. To take away the pain you've been suffering in life and just to get away from everything. Within a rough situation, you have your two basic choices of doing it or not doing it, but then you have this hidden choice of killing yourself to get away from the situation, so you won't have to deal with. Suicide is like running away, and that when you do die, you believe that the situation will not find you again...meaning that the phrase "You can run, but you can't hide" wouldn't apply to suicide. That's why it's the easy way out.
Suicide seems to be used loosely now, because whenever someone would say they'd want to kill themselves, no one would take it seriously. Which is fine on most cases, because most either say it just for whatever or for attention.
I'm sincerely sorry to hear about your brother, because it's just so unfair what his step-daughter did to him. He was hounded for no reason, and the pride he had in himself disappeared as he took his own life...it's sad that way, and I can't believe his own step daughter would do that. Worse, the authority wouldn't do anything about it.
I have thought about suicide multiples of times, but I haven't done it yet because right now isn't the right time. I still haven't started high school yet, but I want to finish that before going any further with suicide.
b/c it would have been harder for your brother to live through going to jail and then living the rest of his life as a suspected rapist
it is the easy way out b/c it is not confronting your problems but just deciding to quit, quitting is always the easiest thing you can do
Sorry about your brother. Your niece is one hell of a stupid girl. No offense, but she just sounded like one because of what she did to your brother. Who would say that just because she can't buy clothes? She has problems.
Well some people think that just to die will be an easy thing to do. I mean, we just either stab our hearts, slit our wrists, shoot ourselves in the mouth, head, or heart and we're dead. We can get away from all our troubles just like that. I guess that's why they say it. It's the easiest way out when they can't solve or bear with their problems.
That is so sad. i feel so sorry for you. i can't believe anyone would do that (falsely accuse of rape to the point of suicide, i mean.)
and i totally agree with you. it's not easy. many suicide attempts fail, for example overdoses are very unreliable and even a gunshot to the head can fail. and sometimes it is extremely painful - people who have drunk bleach (which erodes the stomach lining then the stomach acid eats away at your insides) have thrown themselves through glass in complete agony. and as you said, ending your life is not easy - people don't even think about the struggle that goes on in your own mind as to whether or not to kill yourself. it's pure hell.
people should think about what goes on in that person's mind, and what pain has caused them to get to that stage, before they use such a stupid phrase.
I'm sorry for what happened to your brother and this is just the reason why i think that suicide is considered the easy way out: because its a way of escape from your problems. now, i'm not sayig that it should or shouldn't be termed that way, all i'm saying is that that is the popular belief
Hi,
I am really sorry to hear about your brother and what happened. I find myself very suicidal at times due to severe depression amongst other issues and i agree with you that it's not the easy option...how can it be?? People who commit suicide are practically living hell on earth and see no escape but to end their life, with the unknown ahead...it's actualy a brave act in many respects. However, even though at the moment i hate my life, i can see why people say sticking it out is harder, that can be very true, this life is so hard, especially when bad things happen that destroy who you are...so living isn't the easiest way either, its often a struggle. I don't think eitheris easy but i feel for anyone in pain, living or suicidal, its a horrible state to be in.
I hope your brother is in peace now.
best of luck

im feel sorry for you but its better then the hell of life
