An Argument on Why Suicide is not Worth It

Increasing number of suicide cases concerns the modern society. It is bothering billions of parents, psychiatrists, specialists, family, friends, and many more around the whole world. There are lots of reasons that causes someone to commit suicide; mostly, teenagers of these days. Some leave a note or draft messages, some tell the reason to someone, while some do not even say a word before they end their lives. What are the most common reasons on why they commit suicide and why suicide is not worth it?

The one and most common reason of committing suicide is rape where most victims are the girls. Some kill their selves because they do not have anyone to talk to. Some are molested and raped by their own family members, such as their step fathers, biological fathers and uncles. Some commit suicide because they are accused as liars when they tried to confess. Some just find it hard to accept what has happened to her and can’t live with it anymore. Another common reason of committing suicide is loss. Such as loss of one they love the most (such as relationship separation or death of a loved one), loss of the financial, emotional and moral support of family, loss of hope for something, etc. Some are has mental illness, some are depressed, some feel unworthy of living, and a lot more. While there are lots of reasons that exists, all fall for one purpose; to end their suffering.

Why suicide is not worth it? While suicidal thoughts would tell that you would end your suffering when you kill yourself, well you’re wrong. You do not end the pain. You just passed it to someone else. When you already died, people around you would live with that pain as long as they live. The ones you love, your friends, your family, they will all blame their selves for not being able to save you. They will remember you always and they will feel guilty no matter what. They would think that they could have done better. Trust me, it would be miserable. Did you know what life is waiting for you when you ended yourself? Nobody was sure about that. So why not try to live your life to the fullest? There are so much good things waiting for you.

Suicide is not the answer. It won’t solve all your problems. Not killing yourself is the best chance to solve all your problems. You have all the power to make things right. Everybody experiences pain, problems, heartbreaks, loss, etc. You are not alone. You have your family and friends with you. You have all the people in this world. All of us is suffering in different ways so don’t you ever dare compare your life to others. But as I have said, you have the power to correct things. You have all the years which gives you chances for everything. The sun will shine no matter how dark the night was. The sun is still shining for you, giving you light to see things clearly. You’re a strong person. And such person like you deserves to live and show life that you’re not giving up.
