I believe that drugs are bad, BUT they aren't as bad as people make them seem. It also depends on the person and if they abuse them and why they are buying them and using them in the first place. They know what they're getting themselves into. As for suicide, people cope with things in different ways. I've heard people say that others are wimps for killing themselves instead of facing their problems, but having the guts to kill yourself is nothing close to being a wimp. It's sad and I don't know which other way to put it, but at least they're gone from their misery.

I'm sorry, but I must say I believe your reasonings are skewed.  I have seen the effects of drug addiction in my own family, and they are, indeed, as bad or worse than people make them seem.  As far as suicide is concerned, and on the subject of Ariel Castro, I believe we pay for our actions, in this life or the next.  I believe Ariel Castro is paying for his crimes at this very minute.

It must feel frightening to have someone close take their own life.  I'm sorry for your loss.

I think it is just so hard to live in this crazy world anymore for  a lot of people. It is sad.

Without Jesus, there is no hope or purpose!

I have known more than one person who was a Christian and they still ended their own life.  Even though a person is a Christian they can have issues with depression, money problems, sickness, and just feel that they can no longer deal with stuff.

Very true. My family is Christian, but my dad is the one who attends church regularly. He likes to get involved with his church, bible study, things like that. 2007-2008 he over did it on his medication and was just not the same person. Slept all the time, was incoherent. Then my mom caught him holding a gun to his head. Not the first time he has had suicidal thoughts. Thankfully he copes much better now. He believed in God then and still does now. Point is, Christian or not depression and suicide affects everyone.

I am sorry to hear that... Its never easy losing someone no matter how it happened.  If people cared more about peolple less drug use and suicide would happen.

I am sorry to hear.  I had a classmate in my early high school years who I sat next to who had committed suicide within a year's time of knowing him.  I don't remember seeing signs of depression or other troubles, but this definitely shocked me. I probably didn't process the same way as I do now, but this still haunts me.

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend! Unfortunately people also have mental issues that they decide to take their own life. Very sad! Only God can take over and heal his family & loved ones but his soul will forever be with them!

Suicide is always so hard because we always wonder if there was some way we could have stopped it. It is definitely a mental illness and unless we see the warning signs we can stop it. People who are mentally ill take great care not to let others see that they have problems.

Sorry to hear about your friend. Sometimes people get overwhelmed with personal issues and don't take advantage of services in their area and they take "the easy way out". It's sad because sometimes we are too busy with our day to day lives and don't see that these people are seriously hurting. I will never understand how people can do something like this.

I can just add that no one will understand the WHY, because you are NOT that person.

@loulizlee - I feel if anything the drug problem is not made as bad as it really is.  There are so many abusing drugs.  And the thing is there are a lot that nobody even knows it is happening.

@luvh8tragedy87 - That is really sad.  I am glad your mom caught him and was able to stop him.
And that he is doing better now.  Thing is a lot of people "think" if you are a Christian you do not have any problems.  Just because you smile in front of others doesn't mean you aren't dying on the inside.

camellia0 - Most places there are no services available.  In the case of the person I am talking about no services could help him.  He had cancer and he was dying.  I do not know why he decided to end his life the way he did but there really wasn't anything anybody could do.  As for the ones who are frustrated and over whelmed with money issues and not being able to find a job - talking to a head doctor is not going to help them.  A doctor giving them a pill will not help them.  Getting a job will but there aren't any to get.  And the few that are out there you are up against 30 or so people for ONE position.  And it usually goes to the person who knows somebody.  I don't really think he took the "easy way out" nor do I think anybody else is doing that.  Like I done said, you don't know what battles people are going thru.

@ - I have had more than one person tell me "I wish I had your life".  All I can think is "yeah I wish you did too".  I have problems that nobody knows about.  And the ones that do know don't seem to realize how serious they are.  The point is - there are people every where hurting and everybody has things they are dealing with.  Everybody also has a breaking point.  I don't know.
We are living in a sad world.  :(

I believe that drugs are bad, BUT they aren't as bad as people make them seem. It also depends on the person and if they abuse them and why they are buying them and using them in the first place. They know what they're getting themselves into. As for suicide, people cope with things in different ways. I've heard people say that others are wimps for killing themselves instead of facing their problems, but having the guts to kill yourself is nothing close to being a wimp. It's sad and I don't know which other way to put it, but at least they're gone from their misery.

I'm sorry, but I must say I believe your reasonings are skewed.  I have seen the effects of drug addiction in my own family, and they are, indeed, as bad or worse than people make them seem.  As far as suicide is concerned, and on the subject of Ariel Castro, I believe we pay for our actions, in this life or the next.  I believe Ariel Castro is paying for his crimes at this very minute. 

But it's not the drugs fault.. it's the person who's using the drug. I'm sure they were never forced to try it.

VERY TRUE

I get so tired of people blaming things they do on drugs and acting like it is not their fault or was not their fault they were an addict.  My cousin was on pills for a while.  Supposedly she is not using but in my opinion she still has a problem because she has yet to admit she was a pill addict because SHE opened her mouth, put the pills in there and chewed them up, and swallowed them.  Or injected them or snorted them or whatever the heck she done.  Quit blaming the doctor.  She went to the doctor.  She asked for the pills.  She kept begging for them.  Even when they refused to give them to her she found a way to get them anyway.  She is a pill head because she chooses to be.

I was just going to comment on this loulizlee, and I agree with you. Drugs are really bad for you when a person is addicted to them. That's why an addiction can be called a disease because one's life is not at ease, especially when they can't stop, and for some, they don't want to stop. The drug(s) has taken over their life and they're not in control anymore.
