 others. The victim must also overcome the belief that suicide is not irrrational or immoral.
The victim feels less constrained by social rules. He feels that the problem is not of his own making, and there is not other solution. He makes a statement that his problems will not occur after death (Lester 78). The following are illustrations of people who failed committing suicide because it is not easy as the Hollywood movies make it seem. 1. Tom, a teenage boy, put a .22 pistol to his head and pulled the trigger.
The bullet entered his temple, ripped through his brain, ricocheted around in his skull, and lodged in his jaw. He did not die. Now severely brain-damaged, he lives on, unable to work or go to school. 2. Marry jumped from a high bridge into a river, many people have died making this same jump.
Marry did not. Rather, she entered the water at a bad angle and broke her back. She was rescued before she could drown. Marry lives in a wheelchair. 3. George shot himself with a large-caliber pistol in the stomach.
He destroyed a kidney. Fortunately, he had two. 4. Bryan, arrested on a drug charge and fearful of his parents reaction. Attempted to hang him self and loosing consciousness.
The loss of oxygen to his brain caused permanent brain damage. 5. Janice cut her wrists-sideways. One of the cuts ran deep enough to sever a tendon. Janice used to play piano. She still does but not so swell (Quinnet 118).
A good assumption to make about suicide attempts would be, the more lethal method a person uses, the more their body will be disfigured if their attempt fails. This not a major concern of the victim, but causes untold grief to those left behind to care of what is left of that person. Here are several reasons why suicide should not be an option. One, funerals are expensive, two, the Mr. Rogers way of thinking, people can like me just the way I am.
There are many signs and reasons people commit and attempt suicide. They are usually in extreme emotional pain. They do no see another way out of their problems. These victims of emotions running rampant need lots of love and understanding. But what they need most is someone to really listen to them and tell them, I do not want you to die.
