        I'm the search bar king! Pedantic bordering on OCD at times :)

    First of all, suicide is not a verb. Second, yes - it's normal.

    The only time I thought of suicide was when I was depressed one time. It is normal if you're depressed, but if you're happy? I don't know.

    I feel ya on that one buddy. The only reasons that stop me when I do think about suiciding are: my mum, my passion my acting, and my beauty.

    I feel that it's a waste of such a beautiful face if I were to die. I also love acting so much that I wouldn't want to die without pursuing my passion.

    Hello, I do that too. I'm usually happy but sometimes If I'm sad and im walking through a bridge -for example- i think "imagine if i jumped" but it's just a silly thought i would never consider.
