Teen Lesbian kills mother of three in suicide attempt

[AlexMack]

I'm sorry, committing suicide is not 'cowardly'. The guts it takes to make that final decision, to press the blade deeper, to step off the chair, to jump from the platform, to purposely aim towards a tree, to put that barrel in your mouth and pull the trigger? That's unbelievable courage right there.

A courage of a different sort, truly. But still, not cowardly in the sense that you condemn it. Yes I've been suicidal, tried it, and known someone who succeeded.

Personally it makes me really sad that someone felt their only way out from their problems was death. How low must you be? How futile and devastating and miserable must your life be that you wake up each day and can see the tears in every breath you take.

This chick? Doing it for attention, obviously. She's old enough to know that all actions have consequences, and she needs the consequences. I believe she'll get manslaughter first degree, if I'm not mistaken, but I probably am.

RACooper, you know that we normally agree, but let me play the devil's advocate for a moment. The jumpers on 9/11. Cowardly or brave?

Suicide can be brave, but it can also be cowardly. There are people who use it as an escape or a way of getting attention. How do you react to the mother of four who drops a bottle of pills to end up on the psych unit. She's in therapy, she's just manipulative.

Bravery is not leaving a husband and four kids alone...
That's escapism.

Not at all. I was making the reference as to the 'suicide is always cowardly' discussion that's going on.

This chick is in a class by herself.
