Now I'm not saying I don't feel sorry for these people, but I would really prefer if you did want to attempt suicide, please do it where it affects the least number of people. It's just like jumping onto the SkyTrain tracks, that's like shutting down most of the system. On the other hand, I know how it feels when you do want to kill yourself (yes I've considered it but backed away); feelings of "isolation and "coldness", this feeling that you are worthless in society and\ leaving the world will make no difference anyways..." But see that's the problem: people don't realize that "suicide" is the answer to your problems. Suicide is simply a selfish act, leaving your problems for other to figure out: and that's not the answer. Thank god Mr.X that you decided to seek for help. It's incredibly hard to put your life back in the tracks; and asking others for help, discussing with other people, makes it a lot easier.

Not that i'm an expert, but i think those who jump from bridges want attention as they haven't had that in their lives or that they have problems that nobody has helped them with.
I read somewhere awhile ago that 40% of teenage suicides are by homosexuals.
As for what happened to me, I wrote a bunch of suicide notes and accidentally sent them early without realizing that.....my friends got them, tricked me the next day into seeing the school counsellor (they told me there was something wrong with the school event we were planning for)....and it went from there.
Just for the record, if i were to kill myself i'd do it by sleeping pills and/or a bottle of vodka at like midnight with my bedroom door locked.
