That's practically suicide. You'll be deemed a danger to society.

I don't see a problem with it. Overpopulation is pressing issue.Rocky32189

I agree with this 100%

She probably wasn't pretty enough and got asked out by no guys. I blame Hollywood where they flaunt off their beauty. It just sends off a bad image to young kids.

I knew teen suicide before it was famous :P

@markop2003Im talking about teens in general not just western teens so that does include South Korea, and you do have a point with your second statement i might just be a little pissed off to reading articles like these.

[QUOTE="TheArGaia"] There is so much wrong with this statement that I am simply going to leave this thread before I start getting moderated.surrealnumber5

It's asia's fault. They can't even support the 80 million kids they all have but they still copy the rabbits.

I think that the dramatic increase in media and interconnectivity (cell phones, facebook, etc) have increased the social pressures on teenagers. Teens are already kind of emotionally fragile since they are going through a massive change in life style in the transition from childhood to adulthood, and this increased scrutiny has only exacerbated the issue.

[QUOTE="surrealnumber5"] there are many people here who want forced population control, even in the US and CA even though we are comparatively underpopulated to the rest of the world,

If someone wants to die I say let them have at it. If he himself nor his loved ones can stop him then it is probably the best for him.kuraimen

ok i can see where your coming from but seriously supporting suicide for kids under 18.. thats a little harsh.

It's the mass media and social pressure at work once again, as always...

Thing is though, the pain probably isn't unbareable, they just don't realize it. When your young you don't realize that stupid social failiures mean nothing. Things do get better, but by ending their life so early, they have wasted their lives.

It's their lives. Doesn't affect anyone else nor does anyone have to bear the consequences since they were the ones that ended it.

[QUOTE="kuraimen"][QUOTE="surrealnumber5"] no, it is the fault of the crazy people that want to force their sick theories on others.

Dude, it's called empathy. Most normal people tend to dislike the thought of others being in so much pain as to kill themselves and feel bad when it happens. You seem to not give a f*** about trying to prevent the third leading cause of death amoung youths in North America.

[QUOTE="surrealnumber5"]

[QUOTE="kuraimen"] Yep that sick theory that overpopulation and lack of resources is a problem sure is sick, basterds! they may even start saying that pollution is bad to your health and that people should start recycling! sick people I tell you.kuraimen

If they want to die, let them. Forcing them to keep living is essentially a form of torture because they do not want to exist anymore. It doesn't help either their families and loved ones might not even give a bloody **** about their current situation.

I'm not the type of person that begs others to keep living if they wished. It's a free world, they choose to do whatever they wish.

[QUOTE="kuraimen"][QUOTE="surrealnumber5"] if you think there is a population problem you have the right and power to reduce it by one, forcing others to bend to your sick view violates their humanitarian rights. also there is no over population issue in the Americas, but that is a whole other conversation.

good let them die. i have no compassion for people who take their own lives. selfish cowerdsmems_1224

In the case of most teens, they will get over the pain that makes them want to die. Getting them help so they can get through it rather then blowing their brians out is not a bad thing.

So if someone close to you wanted to take their life, would you let them? Suicide is just a terrible thing.

[QUOTE="kuraimen"] There's not a bigger "humanitarian right" than the right to live a good and fullfilling life. Overpopulation depletes resources and makes people live in poorer and poorer conditions and creating more and more problems, meaning that you have to choose between allowing people to brainlessly reproduce without regards to the conservation of the planet or actually do something about it to avoid destroying the planet and ourselves with it. The first choice is similar to how a plague works and it is not very intelligent or wise, the second choice is about using intelligence and common sense.kuraimen

There is no such thing as "unbearable" pain, there are just people who chose not to bear it anymore.

Maybe it's my apathetic nature, but whatever. I could really care less about what other people wanted to do with their lives. I've thought about suicide before in my life, talking about it with others only accelerated that drive to do so even faster.
