woodj64I understand the selfish comment to some extent. When someone commits suicide, I am guessing that they aren't thinking of anyone else but themselves and they get to the point where instead of seaking help from others they think the only way to feel better is to kill themselves when in reality they end up permanently hurting those around them. I know first hand. My uncle killed himself.report abuseposted May 22, 2009 10:23 AM PDT
