Depression is a disease despite what others think. So before you go and make another ignorant topic, I'd advise you to smarten up a bit and try to be a little more understanding. Okay?

Ok, suicide is a little more complicated than that.
You genuinely believe that life is not worth living and that the world is better off without you.
Until you have actually had a mental health problems, read extensively on suicide, or had a close family experience of it, you don't have the right to judge suicidal people.

i've been there - i've lost a friend. that was over 2 years ago and it still hurts. we weren't even that close anymore. but just knowing that she couldn't bear to be alive anymore...that's a tough thing to come to terms with.

in the same time period, i lost a couple other friends in an automobile accident and a medical accident. that was the time when i came out of my depression. now i basically live my life for those who i've lost - those who can't anymore. it gets me through the day.

Is it really selfish to be so upset to the point that you want to just give up? Aren't the others selfish for wanting to keep you here even though you are so tired of life? Isn't it selfish that THEY keep you here because THEY want to be happy?

Anything can be twisted into selfishness, no matter what it is.  And ultimately?  You are completely eliminating the fact that these people are emotionally distressed.  They have depression, and that's not something that you can just overcome.
