Audience Applauds 19 yr old's Suicide on Stage

that really sad. such an quick end to a sort live

 

I grew up during the emo movement, and during high school, I used to have the same fears for what society would become if all anyone was doing was glamorizing suicide and thinking it was cool to be miserable all the time, but now it seems to have gone a different way... Now showing emotion is uncool to the point where even compassion is looked down on, which I find disturbing. I wonder what's better: feeling too much or too little, and when will we find a balance between the two?

 

Good point. If you remove yourself from public life for a while and then return, you realize no-one shows any emotion, at least not their true emotions. Fake smiles, fake laughs, forced facial expressions. Any negative or sad mannerisms are looked down upon even if they are real. You can't join society if you don't know this. It must be confusing and alienating for young people growing up and to learn to bottle up emotions must be part of the reason for all the depression and suicide.

 

That's true, but when it comes to your friends and family I hope it's untrue.

The last thing you wrote I don't really understand. I thought depression was the main reason for suicide. I don't say that I have right, but I can't see how a happy person would consider to take his life.

 

Well, something has to cause the depression in the first place, whether it be chemical, which pretty much has to be dealt with with medications, or situational due to the inability to overcome or escape certain stressors. No doubt suicide is caused by depression, but the question is, what kind? An otherwise happy person with no natural tendency toward depression who was buillied day in and day out and had no friends because of some small difference that the student body would consider a "flaw" that the victim had no control over might commit suicide because they couldn't escape the stress that made their life unbearable.

 

I'm not feeling particularly suicidal today.

 

what i am saying is. it sad that someone so young has killed them self. i had depression and still suffer from it for most of my life, yet it was through the help of family and friends that prevented my from allowing the depression from take control of live. i have meany time considered killing my self, yet i have always seeing the love that i would lose. it makes me cry that this 19 yr old didn't seem to have that. so surely society must look at self and say why are some many young people becoming depressed, doctors and mental health teams must now start to look and see that anti depressant are not working. we must rethink the way we treat mental health and depression. look towards a more holistic method in which the depression is prevented not just kept at bay buy drugs. love well cure all pain. like the William Burroughs said love is the greatest pain killer. lot of love a big hugs, mystic eye

 

No it fucking won't.

 

WOW! That just goes to show the level of stupidity of some people. One person in the article claims "The horrific memories of someone stabbing himself to death on stage in front of them is not something for anyone to have to be subjected to, or have to live with" along with 'I feel more sympathy for the audience than the "performer".' What do you think the chances are that this person is one of the majority who WANT to see Bin Laden's death photos, but the sight of a troubled young person killing themselves in front of you while you are sipping your $9 organic coffee is just something that you will never get over.........I mean, for God's sake, they will never be able to get coffee at that location again. Oh the humanity of it all. I think that this person should get the selfish award for the month of May, even though its still early.

 

death comes to us all why not cut the line
