There are no wrong, stupid, selfish, or silly answers. These reasons (whatever they may be) have kept many people alive. 

Suicide is a extremely difficult topic to bring up. PLEASE. NO ARGUMENTS, MAKING FUN OF OR RIDICULING OTHER PEOPLES ANSWERS. What may seem trivial to you, can be the cornerstone of life for many. I believe questions may be asked, but obviously some questions will not have an answer, it is just how they personally feel.

LIKE I SAID IN THE TITLE, THIS IS NOT ENCOURAGING SUICIDE IN ANY WAY, RATHER THE OPPOSITE. Im honestly hoping some of the answers that some people may have, could be just for someone contemplating the thought of suicide, would now think twice or reevaluate why they were going to, or possibly even change their mindset. This is about encouragement for everyone who has the strength to keep pushing on when all seems lost. 

With that being said...

Personally my reasons are spiritual and the thought of the amount of pain I would inflict upon my mom and brother who'd have to lower me into a grave. I cannot fathom how hurt my mom would be and would never want her to feel like it was her fault in any way. 

How many others are like me? What keeps you from slipping away even in your darkest times? Thank you. 

As I said in another post, dont hesitate to PM me if you are feeling suicidal (im not a professional, there are amazing numbers on the side of the forum for true professionals), or hurting, or have questions. I would listen and talk to ANYONE who is feeling down, no matter what the problem is.
