Remember This
Whether you believe in God or not, you were created for a reason, to live life to it's fullest, to love the innocent. There is somebody out there for you whether you know it or not. I haven't found my soul mate but im not willing to give up. You will suffer along the path, but so do we. It doesn't matter how much blood you pour out, you will always be loved for who you are. Don't let yourself suffer in the underworld forever, you will regret it. Remember there is so much more to lifes beauty, even if death seems the right path. You're hurting yourself as well as others, remember there are good people in this world too, even if you haven't found out who they are yet. When you find one, you will know. I love you, and so should everyone, but remember, life isn't what it may seem, but we all live it to die in peace, but only when the time has come for you, not you for it.

47) if you kill yourself, you never get the chance to see the outcome of your life. you don't get to know if you were going to be rich; have a family; find a great job, or anything else that people look forward to in life. god gives us life and it should be respected and handled with care. there isn't a reason in the world to take away a personal gift from god.Krystine Wasmanski,Wilkes-barre PA.

60) You should never think of killing yourself. if u do, think of all the people who have been there for you, encouraged you, and supported you. killing yourself would let them all down. also think of that one person you were there for to listen one day and how much that meant to them. do you really want to put your family and friends through all that pain because you felt your life was that bad that you couldnt take it. just think of all the people whose life is so much worse... - Amanda Kennedy, 15 yrs old

75) If you kill yourself you cant fufill God's plan for your life. Everyone has a plan and if you dont follow that plan it affects other people. - Shannon Hall, 14 yrs old, J-town, NY
76) A reason not to commit suicide is because bad things may always turn around and become better for you. There are people who care so much about you, you just might not know it. Talk to someone you trust, a friend you really care about. You never know how much they care about you also, until you tell them you need them to just be there for you. It's not worth giving your life up for something that has a chance of changing to your advantage. Live your life to the fullest. Make it all it can be. Don't give up on yourself. Remember: everything is okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.
77) My newest reason not to commit suicide is because my nephew was just born. I would hate to have someone tell him that one of his aunts commited suicide and wasn't there to see him grow up.

79)When you've been in love with someone for 5 years.

If you commit suicide, you'll never have the chance to be with the person you love the most, even if they don't realize they love you right at the moment. - 15 yrs old, Oregon
80) The reason I didnt commit suicide was because of My Chemical Romance...I used to hate my life.Everything about it.I was never happy.I felt alone and hated.But then I started listening to them.They influenced me to be a better person.The song Famous Last Words is amazing,with the lyrics 'I am not afraid to keep on living'.That band taught me to appriciate life.They are the band to save your life.

91) I come from a rather large family (8 sisters and 4 brothers) and a majority of them are younger than me. My younger brother is special needs, and he's my buddy. We do everything together and he cries for hours when I leave to go out with friends for the night. I don't even want to imagine what he would go through each day that he sits outside my house, waiting for me to come.
92) I just very recently found God, and He wouldn't have given me this life, the blessings I can't evenn begin to count, unless He wanted me to do something with it. He has a plan for all of us, and killing yourself is not one of them. Life is the greatest gift you could ever receive. I am not scared of the day that I meet my Maker, to have him look at me and say, "Welcome home.". But I would much rather meet Him when He is ready to meet me. - Delayna, 16 yrs old, Texas

97) Killing Yourself Would Take You Away From Your Best Friend. No Matter How Hard Things May Seem You Always Have Someone That Will Make You Feel Better. For Me That Is My Best Friend, Niki. -Jackie,16 yrs old, Jacksonville Florida
98) If you kill yourself, your basicly killing everyone around you, who love you, who cares so deeply for you, who will let themselves suffer until almost DEAD just for you to live. So think about it, if you are so depressed about something, a death, love if you are willing to kill yourself, you'll never get back what you've lost.
