Its basicly a way of shafting people. Who wants to do that to someone, Its cold. Suicidals just dont care about anyone but themselves. Self Centred f***s

I know what you're saying, but the truth is that the majority of people who commit suicide have some kind of mental illness. I don't think it's often as simple as not caring about anyone but themselves.

It wouldn't be called a mental illness if the majority of people acted on it. The only difference between weird and normal is a majority vote.

I've spent the night in the psych ward for attempting suicide. The "just power through it" approach only does so much til you run out of power. It's really not as black and white as you think, though self confidence makes a world of difference. When you're at that point, obviously no one else matters. It's damn hard to even try it too. I don't want to say I respect someone because they do it , but it takes a bigger pair than most of the miserable people out there have. Controversy aside, it's their call.

Was the second part of your post directed at me or the person I quoted? Because I never said anything to even imply that I was advocating the "just power through it" approach.

As to the first part, I didn't mean that the act of committing suicide itself was the mental illness, but rather that the majority of people who commit suicide have some other form of mental illness (it could be a variety of things) that contributes to them actually committing suicide.
