I think, what I am trying to say is, if what you want is help rather than death then go get professional help and ask for help, rather than making your parents panic stricken that every time they leave you alone you may try to kill yourself. One day, you might be successful and there will be no-one there to save you.
Then again, if someone really really wants to die there are plenty of ways to die that you cannot be saved from so you can always tell if it is a serious attempt or not.
In essence I don't believe attempting suicide really helps avoid major depression it just gets you that extra help you should just have asked for in the first place...
This is not a personal attack against any one person here. I am sure there are plenty of people here that have thought about it once or even attempted it. I'd be lying if i didn't say I hadn't once thought about it as a teenager. Really it is a tool used by many introspective people that have an inability to really open up to those around them. If anyone thinks about such a way out think about the people who love you and go and ask for help first.
Alternatively, go out, enjoy life, and do something crazy, fun and out of character!!I find it much better medicine than a spell in hospital.
