T-nex: It makes them different? Seriously? There is being different and there is being stupid. Kids cutting their wrists barely deep enough to hurt, that's trying to be different. Jumping of a bridge, hitting the water, breaking all your bones, recovering and then telling yourself 'well shit that was a really stupid idea' is being stupid (and insightful).
I'm all for having your life in your own hands. However some people have proven themselves over and over again to be such incompetent idiots that they even screw up a simple thing like suicide because they do it for entirely the wrong reasons without even thinking about it for a minute. You simply don't kill yourself if your cat just died. I know there's someone who did it because I remember reading it at some point. Sure I know everyone has their own motivations and blabla, but on the grander scale of things that's just retarded.

Stupid? I could say the same thing about wanting to bone a tiger, seriously Havoc, who are you with your arrogance, self-righteousness and COMPLETE LACK OF EXPERTISE that you can just judge others by your own example and find them lacking?
My family has gone through some very tough times over the last six years or so, I've never considered killing myself but my older brother has, does this make him a weaker person than me? No. A stupider one? No. My best friend tried to kill himself this time last year over a girl, is he a weak or stupid person? Or maybe my, reclusive and introverted. brother only self harmed to try and be trendy among me, my mum and his video games, hmm?
I find your arrogance and condescending nature on this subject completely abhorrent, I'm not going to ask if you've had a hard life yourself because I seriously don't give a damn if you were mining coal in an orphanage in Zimbabwe at the age of six and came out of it with the mental stability of an army commander, different situations affect people differently and judging everyone by your own example is stupid, it breaks most of the laws of finding objective data.
The person who tried to kill themselves when their cat died, what if they had agrophobia and the cat was their only companion, or if it was a dog, how about if the guy was blind? It must be devastating losing your guide dog if you're blind, that's your companion, your eyes, your third arm and your best friend gone in one fell swoop, I seriously don't know if I could connect so well with something else after something as devastating as that happened.
The guy who lost £500 million on the stock market? Well you can't realistically lose that much without going bankrupt, maybe your wife or girlfriend leaving you, being forced out of your house etc etc.
I appreciate the point you're trying to make, but please stop being such an arrogant opinionated jerk about it and learn some respect for some other lesser mortals.
