<p>... death sometimes?</p>
<p>Lately, I've been thinking about it... and how futile life might be sometimes.</p>
<p>I'm not depressed or anything. It's just a subject I've never really thought about...</p>
<p>I've thought about it a lot. Sometimes I think about what I'm going to do in the future and just get a feeling of hopelessness. I'll probably grow up, get a stable job, get married, have kids, and I'll always be working. And there'll be arguments and fallouts but also reconciliations. And then the cycle goes on until death.</p>
<p>Life seems pretty pointless in those moments.</p>
<p>And I've also thought about suicide. But that's a different story.</p>
<p>haha demeter... I generally think about it when I think of the future too.</p>
<p>suicide is pointless cause if you do that, then there's really no reason for you to be alive.</p>
<p>suicide is pointless cause if you do that, then there's really no reason for you to be alive.</p>
<p>lol i'm sorry thats just worded really funny.</p>
<p>Death is an interesting topic for young people who have so much life yet to live. I'm sure our perspectives will change throughout life. But I don't think life is ever futile, as long as you're doing something you love.</p>
<p>"suicide is pointless cause if you do that, then there's really no reason for you to be alive."
Im sure you were going somewhere with that but i cant figure out where... the reason most ppl commit suicide IS b/c they fell like there is no reason to be alive hence the effect of not being alive</p>
<p>(Scary, but when I was five or so, I sometimes held a pair of scissors to my heart, or my stomach, and wondered what would happen if I stabbed myself. Was probably the result of my grandparents letting me watch too much morbid TV.)</p>
<p>Sometimes suicide seems like a good option to me, but other times, it seems cowardly. And I'm the kind of person who always says, "Well, there's always next time." So I get the feeling that if I just wait out my depression, things will get better eventually.</p>
<p>Someone said this to me once...</p>
<p>"Why would I end my life? I've got nothing better to do."</p>
<p>I just think about how much I DON'T want to die. It is like...
please let me stay alive a few more years so I can get my license
so i can go to college
so i can fall in love
so i can have my first apartment
so i can have a child
so i can write a book</p>
<p>the list goes on...so i just hope that i can live until i am old and gray</p>
<p>suicide and death is for people who have exhausted all of their options, which is why i think it is ridiculous that young people kill themselves...we have so much left to experience!</p>
<p>its not exactly suicide but im kinda thinking about drinking myself to death by age 50 b/c i dont want to be old</p>
<p>Suicide seems strange, because if you think about it, how could you bring yourself to actually cause your own death? Some say it entails being a coward, but if you think about it, would you ever have the courage to put a gun to your head or O.D.?</p>
<p>I've thought about death a lot. Lol, watching Saw and Saw II makes me want to appreciate life more. </p>
<p>When I think about death...I just think about how much I want to live and all the things I want to do when I'm alive.</p>
<p>"And what cats have to tell
on each return from hell
is this: that dying is what the living do,
that dying is what the loving do,
and that dead dogs are those who do not know
that dying is what, to live, each has to do."
-Alastair Reed, "Curiousity"</p>
<p>All the poems we studied in Lit the past two weeks had to do with life and death.</p>
<p>I'll stay away from the suicide side of the conversation, but I've thought of death plenty of times. Sometimes of my own and what'll it be like, sometimes of my friends/family.</p>
<p>That scares me more. How can I survive without my sisters? Parents? I hate it when my parents talk about how they're aging and getting pains and high cholesterol and everything like that. I know it could be construed as my lack of acceptance that time does go by, and I must accept that parents will die eventually, but I hope it doesn't happen while I'm trying to find out what being an "adult" will be like. Or when "working woman" is the phase for myself. Or "wife" or "mother". Maybe late in life...so then when they pass away, I'll have my own family (either just my husband or hubby and kids) to love and support me...</p>
<p>My chem teacher's mother died earlier this school year; she's unmarried and living alone here. Though she has friends here, I must imagine it's hard and lonely to come back here from the funeral in Australia, without someone who would understand the loss.</p>
<p>im absolutly 100% terrified with death....</p>
<p>...but not of my own. of people around me.
I have only had one or two people that I was close to pass...and they were not predominate people in my life. however I think about them often and was very upset when that time did come. It makes me want to die thinking about the people in my life dieing. I would rather die then live through one of my parents, brother or friends passing. I just dont beleive i am strong enough to emotionally deal wiht that.</p>
