I have no problem at all with anyone committing suicide, in any way, for any reason whatsoever. I should note here, however, that I also do not cleave to the notion that human life has any real, intrinsic value to it...
That said, - I don't believe that anyone, - not a parent or sibling, not a teacher or psychologist, - can ever wholly understand what one's 'true' state of mind is when they decide to forfeit their life.
And yet, - many times I have heard the shallow-pated masses bleat the clichés, "It takes a selfish coward to commit suicide", and, "It takes more courage to go on living than it does to commit suicide".
To them my retort is always the same: "
TRY IT.............."
In truth, I feel that anyone who would brand those who commit suicide as 'selfish' are not only woefully misguided in their take but are, ironically enough, prime examples of selfishness, - for only an enormously selfish person would admonish someone who wishes to die simply because THEY would like the tortured soul to go on living for THEIR own comfort or amusement.
I will leave you with this quote, as I believe it is the wisest thing I've ever read on the subject of suicide:
[requote from one of the mental forumist id encounter from UK]
---... "We have no power to prevent ourselves being born: but we can rectify this error - for it is sometimes an error. When one 'does away with' oneself one does the most estimable thing possible: one thereby almost deserves to live."...---
F. W. Nietzsche
