The Top Ten
1 It hurts your family

It's a horrible thing to put your family through, no parent wants to hear that their child commited suicide.

I agree, committing suicide never solves anything. It'll just hurt people that are close to you.

Sometimes suicide can cause suicide.

2 They will always be remembered as a tragedy

So, we would be dead, and why does it matter? At least that way we are remembered.

Being remembered as a tragedy is better than not being remembered at all

3 It's a sin

I'd rather go to Hell than end up in a land of Crackpot Fundamental Christians.
You'd rather be with peaceful Christians.
Why would the Beast be against people who rejected the Lord his enemy.
If Heaven exists do you want to end up in a land full of Ned Flanders-like clones.

Can we just put religion aside for one moment? These are people's feelings we are talking about here, and it's actually quite offensive to apply religion in such an insensitive way to such a sensitive topic.

You'll be damned for eternity in Hell! (Unless you don't believe in that)

This item is offensive! And this is coming from an atheist! - Sprightly

4 It's hurtful to your friends

I literally only have two freinds, their lives would be better without me.

My friends wouldn't even notice

5 Somebody new may come along and change your life
6 You may be needed for a greater purpose
7 It may cause other people to commit suicide

Why would they care about me? I'm just a waste of space to everyone.

8 There's more to enjoy in life

its depressing ego takes lives lives that should've never been taken, I've encountered those lives from the otherside & they whole heartedly blame their egos over themselves which has lead to their demise, I'm glad I'm gifted to notice things that aren't there, my third eye & hunger for knowledge is my greatest asset tell I die.

So then why am I so depressed?

9 Depression can be overcome

Really? I am physically and mentally abused by my mom, sister, and two of my brothers, all of my friends started bullying me, literally no one would care, everyone I meet they have literally told me they hate me, I hate myself, and ever since I started seeing a therapist people have just hated me more, and seriously I have nothing and no one to live for. So really I don't think that my depression will ever be overcome.

My family hates me, they don't care about me at all. I have no friends and everyday I stand in shadowy corners to avoid being seen. I am a disgrace to this world. I don't see why I shouldn't commit suicide... I deserve to go to hell. I HOPE I ROT IN HELL WHERE TERMITES EAT MY BODY ALIVE. Why do I have to live like this... I deserve to die. Why... WHY GOD! WHY DO I HAVE 2 DISABLITIES?!?!? WHY!

10 It's cowardly

Jesus christ man have some sympathy for what others are feeling, just because u aren't feeling depressed doesn't mean that u can call it cowardly.

The Contenders
11 Your life might become better any day
12 You go to hell

You already said that, and keep religion out of it, reincarnateion is my jam.

I wanna do that though

13 Everybody makes mistakes
14 It's a permanent solution to temporary problems.

Permanent solution to permanent, worsening problems

15 There is a light at the end of the tunnel
16 There are people who care about you in life

Where are they?

17 There's a reason to live
18 Suicide doesn't take away the pain. It will give it to someone you love.

This is a brilliant reason I feel like it deserves to be in the top ten.

19 Your suffering is always temporary
20 Because as along as you're alive you will always have a chance to find happiness
21 You don’t know where you will go
22 If you get through it, you can help others
23 Everybody deserves a second chance

So, your saying that I should die so that I can live again and finally be happy?

24 Your problems won't disappear, someone else will have them

By committing suicide, you are ensuring that someone else will also. Your problems won't disappear. The next of kin will have those problems, plus the costs of burying you. Suicide is for rich families like Donald Trump.

25 No one knows if we have a soul
