Is suicide really worth it?

I have a friend (realy is a friend) who is bi-polor and has issues over her fathers suicide and seems to be intent on killing herself. She is being really stubborn and wont really listen and on top of that she lives in a differant town and I cant get to her to be there for her. What can I do?

I have something I found on the internet you should get her to read, its deep. Here it is.

'You've decided to do it. Life is impossible. Suicide is your way out.
Fine -- please try to consider these facts first:

Suicide is not usually successful.

You know a guaranteed way? Ask the 25 year old who tried to
electrocute himself. He lived. But, both of his arms are gone.
What about jumping? Ask John. He used to be intelligent, with an
engaging sence of humor. That was before he lept from a building.
Now, he's brain damaged and will always need care. He staggers
and has seizures. He lives in a fog. But, worst of all, he knows he
used to be normal.

What about pills? Ask the 12 year old with extensice liver damage
from an overdose. Have you ever seen anyone die of liver damage?
You turn yellow. It's a hard way to go.

What about a gun? Ask the 24 year old who shot himself in the head.
Now he drags one leg, has a useless arm and has no vision or hearing
on one side. He lived through his 'foolproof' suicide.

You might too. But .. who will clean your blood off the carpet or scrape
your brains from the ceiling? Commercial cleaning companies may refuse
the job -- but someone has to do it. Who will cut you down from where
you hung yourself, or identify your bloated body after you've drowned?
Your father? Your mother? Your sister or brother? The carefully worded
'loving' suicide note is of no help. Those who loved you will never completely
recover. They'll feel regret and an unending pain.

Suicide is contagious. Look around your family. You do have other choices.
There are people you can help you through this crisis. Call a hotline. Call a
friend. Call a doctor or hospital. Call the police. They will tell you there's hope.
Maybe in a phone call this weekend. But what you're seeking could be just a
minute, a month, or a day away. You say you don't want to be stopped? Still
want to do it? Well, then, I may see you in the psychiatric ward later. And we'll
work with whatever you have left.

If you are reading this, steal it and put it in your site too. If you're seriously
considering this permanent solution to a temporary problem, please find help.
This isn't the way to go, you may think that everyone would just be better off
without you, but have you ever seen a family who has lost a loved one to suicide?
They're messed up, the parents usually get divorced, the siblings never talk to
each other. This not only ends your life, it changes the lives of others around you,
but not in a good way. There are people who love you, and people who have
been through the same things as you, even though it may not seem like it at times.
So please, seek help.

& I hope you have realized ;; Suicide's not the way out. there are so many other
safer ways of dealing with your problems. Maybe you think it's easier to just die.
But think of what you are giving up. you're leaving your family, friends, and all the
people who care about you and love you. And maybe you're not even that old yet,
you have to experience life, find true love, that kind of stuff. Killing yourself isn't
going to help. That's just running away from your problems, it's not solving anything,
it's not making it better.

I know I can't convince you to not commit suicide, but just please think about
everything a little before you do anything.

There's always someone who will be there for you to talk things through even
if it seems like no one is there for you. Everything will get better, and it will be okay.

So whenever you are going to pick up that knife, or razor, just think about all the people
you are leaving behind, all the memories, and all the good times.

I guess sometimes everybody feels like they want to die at lease once in their life. And
you think there is no other way, just read this over.

Remember:
You live to have fun, and joke around ;; Not to be depressed. I know depression isn't
an easy thing to get over, but it is possible ..Please read this all it may change your life
for ever.please put this on your site so others can read it too!

what about all the hot boys you'll miss, growing up, having kids, a husband? being a
grandmother, honestly to die at a young age` is not the answer!! '

get her to listen and watch 'hold on' by good charlotte. deep song about suicide, it might help. I thought about suicide before and music really did help me.

no
in all honesty it isn't. suicide is a permanet(sp?) soultion for a temporary problem. it hurts your friends, and family and anyone else who care for you. but yes have her liest to hold on by good charlotte. especially the video.
lines from it -
'hold on if you feel like letting go
hold on it gets better than you know
don't stop searching your one step closer
don't stop looking it's not over
hold on'

no its not

I believe in most states it's illegal to commit suicide! You can be punished for doing that. Anyway I don't think anyone has ever came back to report whether or not it's worth it, whatever that means. Dead is not only permanent but 'dumb'.

Haha... what the f*ck...
how would you be punished if your dead?
wow...
stupid idea to commit suicide, but making a law about it...
im speechless

lol I agree stephanief987 what the f*ck??? like a law is going to stop people and how can ya fine somebody when they're dead!? haha now I've heard it all

but yea as I said before suicide isn't worth it

thanx yall it means a lot
when I get a hold of her next ill be sure to put all of the advice to good use

that's good... good luck

please people keep em comming
