There is nothing cowardly about suicide or the depression associated with it, far from it. It’s from a sense of hopelessness that people consider suicide. Those that act upon it have not perpetrated a cowardly act, they are acting on emotions out of control.

23, just really beginning to start life. RIP McKinley. Condolences to the family and friends.

For those who are contemplating or have attempted in the past I have an over abundance of compassion for. I'll do almost anything neccessary to help the individual in order to keep them from doing it.

However, thats where my compassion stops. I feel everyone is on earth to learn a lesson to improve themselves.... kinda like school. Every year you go to school -the more you learn, to decide your going to commit suicide is like quiting on school or giving up. bailing out. I don't feel compassion for someone who has committed suicide just like I don't feel compassion for someone who decided to quit school after 8th grade. God had a plan and they bailed.

I do have compassion for the families though. No one should have to go through having a family member do that.
