Suicide Monologue

The current suicide rate among 15- to 24-year olds is quite disturbing. Growing in numbers since 2007, the latest toll taken in 2013 on suicide within college settings is 11.1 deaths per 100,000 people (Scelfo, 2015). According to the article Suicide on Campus and the Pressure of Perfection, Pennsylvania State University had six students commit suicide in a 13-month stretch (Scelfo, 2015). Suicide within college settings are usually linked with severe depression. As mentioned by Kevin Breel in the Confessions of a Depressed Comic Ted Talk, depression is not sadness, real depression is being sad when everything in your life is going right and this, this I can personally relate to.

“My ex-girlfriend was taken away by the cop and taken to the local jail. My ex-girlfriend’s Dad showed up and I rode back with him to their house. Finally my parents came and picked me up. I went home and maybe got two hours of sleep, if you even call that sleep. The next morning, I went back to my ex-girlfriend’s house and she was later released from jail that day. For the longest time, we would just sit there in silence, because, what do you say? It was time to comfort one another. I not only felt bad about the whole situation, but I knew no one was going to believe me, us. Believe that a girl purposively jumped into the moving vehicle. I later learned that the girl who died had been suicidal. Earlier that day, before the accident,

The suicidal signs are easy to identify, and if you identify them early enough you could save a person’s live that could be in danger.

Suicide rate is a grow problem in the United States according to the American foundation for suicide prevention more than 41,149 suicides were reported in 2013.

I'll pray that someday you see, the only difference between life and dying; Is one is trying, that's all we're going to do. So try to love me and I'll try to save you.

My life was flashing before my eyes, I was realizing what was happening death was coming. Cold and stillness filled the room while the feeling of death started to overtake my body it was a different feeling but it had to come. My limbs felt heavy and I thought real slow everything was slowing down. Just then something odd happened like nothing I ever thought some sound came into the room an annoying buzzing creature.

Some years ago, when all my children were very young, I attempted suicide. As I lay in intensive care wanting to just die and wondering why I did not my mother visited me and told me that if I kill myself that is the only sin that God cannot forgive me for. Still not convinced I received another visit from my son who had to be about 9 years old at the time. When I looked into his eyes; I knew that I had to live. It was as if he was saying to me at that time that if you have given up I have no reason to live either. Having decided now to live I wanted to give my children the best life I possibly could which was not easy. I was a mother of 5 with a husband who was not supportive and who was very abusive. By this time though my mind was made up that me and and my

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me. Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell, And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then? One short sleep past, we wake eternally And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.

“You killed her when you created me. You and my companion brought me into this world for your selfish needs. I am now torture and scorned by the inability to pro-create. You made me defective. Now you too will never find happiness in the coming of a child.”

Hi Doctor Riddles I hope you feel better soon! There is however something I would like to discuss with you. I am kinda glad that you cancelled class today because I don't believe I would have said this in person even though I would want to. Lately these past few weeks especially I have been thinking of committing suicide and I thought the thoughts and feelings would just stop but they haven't. Going out with Curtis, Nick, Antonia and the whole gang made me realize that I want help because they made me feel wanted and accepted and happy. I would like to thank you for that email you sent to us that was a really bad night for me and it was really nice to know that someone cared so thank you for that.

When you are six, you don’t worry about anything. You have your friends, your family, and that’s all you need to be happy. Your life is careless, like it should be when you are a child. However, it can change in one night. The next thing you know: your mom is packing in a hurry; she is crying, and when she notices you, rapidly puts on a big smile to make you feel safe and protected.

Loneliness can be considered depending on the situation as a moment of reflection and internalization, but also as a moment of depression, absence, fear, and frustration. The solitude in the life of the rabbit and my life is very relevant and is partly why at the beginning of this essay I named that affinity. There have been times in my existence that the same characteristic has become my friend and ally by helping me to think things through and clear my mind. On the contrary, in many others, it has managed to awaken in me my deepest fears, concerns, and questions. There is a scene in the story where the child suffers from terrible scarlet fever – a disease that I analyze as an ignorant society that takes advantage of the innocence of others – and the reason why the rabbit goes from being in

Ofealiea there's never a day that goes by that I'm questioning myself how did your day go was it bad did any of your patients make you smile or say anything perverted to you cause your such a hottie although I know you said you don't express yourself or open up or how ever you said it the other night so I'm saying I wanna be with you when you succeed and also them down falls but all in all your just success although your not looking for a boyfriend it's ok just take me in consideration and not go back we live days to look forward why go back to something you had go forward

Have you ever known someone who’s committed or tried to commit suicide and thought, “I wish I would’ve done something, said something, to stop it from happening?” I know I would ask myself that question everyday if I hadn’t. A few years ago, a good friend of mine thought her life was so bad she wanted to end it. I did the only thing I could think, and told the nearest teacher. It may sound so childish or stupid, but it worked. Luckily, she’s still alive and well. I’m here to make sure you can make the difference and help a person who might be, or is suicidal. Just think of what would happen if you didn’t try to help.

Someone, somewhere, commits suicide every 18 minutes. You might never be able to tell who it will be, it could be the person sitting right next . Statistics reveal that approximately three million youths, between 12-18, have either thought about or attempted suicide in the past year. More than 1/3, actually succeeded.
