Don't Kill Yourself

Seek help if you are possibly contemplating suicide as it is not the answer to anything. It only causes grief.

Call this toll-free hotline in the US for assistance: 1-800-784-2433.

I urge you to call one of the Suicide helplines. This site has numbers in the United States and worldwide: http://psychcentral.com/helpme.htm

Suicide is illegal, Wikianswers will not facilitate the commission of any crime.

And besides we like you just as you are. Please talk to a counselor about your problems, nothing is bad enough to take your own life over.

No matter how bad it is right now, it can only get better- when you are down try doing something nice for someone else. It sounds a little lame but it works, scientifically it's called a helper's high. It gets your mind off depressing things and helps you add value to society and confidence for yourself.

Try planting a tree, writing a card to your friend/family member, volunteer a day at a the boys and girls club or even answer some questions on WikiAnswers! Feel better and harness your Awesomeness!
