    I would jump out of a plane over a Weather Girls concert while they were singing 'It's Raining Men'.

    Or dress up like a clown and hang myself from the jungle gym at a pre school.

    If I were to commit suicide I would do it in weird crazy way lolz. I'll Do something unnecessary like stab myself to death with a spoon or drown in mouthwash. Maybe even get some plastic fairy wings and jump off the grand canyon saying "I believe I can fly". Then again I could do something simple like inhaling carbon monoxide or suffocating myself.

    I could also make it brutal and bloody too. Like peeling all my skin of with a knife then cut my intestines out. Take my eye out of its socket and put a rubber ducky in its place. By then there should be a puddle of my own blood which I would drown in. If that's not the case I would fill a bath tub up with pee and then drown in it. There's so many ways to do, but you can only pick one. xD

    I guess I should stop now. I don't want to write a whole novel about this (I really could).

      Why don't you write a novel? As morbid as that was, you're quite creative.

    Came close twice. A good friend committed suicide when I was fourteen and I wasn't equipped to deal with it. I lived near a railway track and freight trains travelled throughout the night. I was going to wait until 2am and then lie with my head on the track. I got up to go to the track one night, and turned back.

    The second time, I hadn't planned a route of escape. Although I was toying with an overdose in a cave at low tide and to die just before the sea took me away. Problem was, I didn't know whether I'd poison the sea life that ate me (because I was full of things that killed me). Taking other lives with me is not how I want to go out.

    Only if absolutely neccesary.
    The most easy and painless way I know is with sleeping pills and a plastic bag. It is to take sleeping pills, then put the bag over your head and secure it so it is airtight. You'd fall asleep, breathe out all the oxygen in the bag, and than suffocate in your sleep, as the sleeping pills would prevent you fropm waking up.
    However, as there will be serious concequences if one survives the abovementioned method (ie. they are discovered, bag is not airtight, ect.) there will be serious concequences. Therefore, a better method may be to fake an accident, which, although probably more painful, will less likely be taken as a suicide. In my case, the best way to do this is by falling fromthe balcony of my tenth-storey appartment, as in when cleaning the railing or putting up a flag (I'd stand on a chair to do that, then "trip" and fall.) Survival chances with falling from this kind of height are less than 2%, and with an iron fence and a parking lot full of cars below, less still.

    make a rope out of that really sharp wire, super glue my hands to my head, and hang myself, then get a friend to move all the equipment away, so it looks like i've pulled my head off...

    Hm. I am absolutely not sure. If i am heavily depressed, i'd probably ride my motorcycle off a cliff at high speed while tripping on a mild hallucinogenic.

    If i am not depressed, i'd probably try my hand at assassination. Yeah, yada yada it's not my place to pass judgement, but in my eyes, there are plenty of people who deserve to die. I'd fully expect to be shot apart by guards, but hey, IF i manage to hit my target, all the better, and hell of a lot better than the idiotic "suicide by cop" or throwing yourself in front of trains/cars/etc, where you're causing other people trouble past death.

    jumping into a volcano. Being run through with a giant broadsword by my blonde muscle bound lover and doing that falling thing from high altitude like in the movies while spilling my guts out. Spontaneously combust and exploded. jumping from a cliff. drinks poison. piss of the taliban. piss of god-preachin hillbilly. drives in alabama with a sign that said "NASCAR sucks" or "hilary for president," all in a day's work.

    Why would I do such a thing? way to much time and effort? I am way to lazy to commit suicide. How sad of a human am I oh Whoa is me.

    I attempted suicide twice. The first time was an overdose, and the second was with cutting. I would have rather used a gun but I didn't have any in my possession. But metaphorically speaking, if I were to attempt it again I would go with a gunshot.

    Jumping from an extreme hight will probably make you change your mind along the way, but it seems like an awesome thrill :D

    Gunshot, if you want to do it, do it right, do it fast, don't make a scene and get it done.

    I think I'd jump off of a tall builing so at least I can have fun before I die.

    I wonder how many people would actually be able to commit seppuku. Since it's not just about stabbing yourself, but you're also supposed to slice open your stomach and then turn the blade towards your chest.

    You would also need an assistant to break your neck with a sword.

    i think that the best would be hit by a train, the others either take too long or are not 100% chance of success (or in the case of a tall building for me there are not many around)and how upsetting would that be knowing you couldn't even kill yourself

  • 2 ways for me, either a gun shot to head, but through the mouth and up since you need to insure you sever the brain stem. OR I would grab a bottle of scotch, some music, sit in my garage with the door down, start my car up and let the fumes just carry me away.

    Gunshot, I've tried OD.. I'm not suicidal anymore, and wasn't really, just bored. But if I have to kill myself again I'd go with the gun. Harder to obtain sometimes, but hey -you want it proper, invest some time and resources.

    Uncharacteristically somber story time: had been majorly depressed for years. I was at a party, drinking with friends. Nothing of significance happened, no catalyst. I wasn't very drunk. I went home early, started sobbing for no reason, and swallowed dozens of over-the-counter nighttime pain meds. Realized I had no intention of dying. Got scared to fucking death (pun intended) and called an ambulance. To this day everyone I know thinks it was just an accident. Because that's what I told them.

    Upon researching after the incident, I discovered that over-the-counter pain meds would take days of liver-drilling and internal bleeding to kill you. Painful shit. Quick and easy? I'd go with jumping if I wasn't worried about hitting/traumatizing people. So probably a well-aimed gunshot to the brain. Otherwise I'm convinced that watching Twilight on repeat will do the trick.

  • Depends. Gunshot probably, but that would make a mess.

    I od'd on tylonal when I was 15, so probably that.
    I also considered antifreeze once.
    Every time I thought about it, I thought of ingesting drugs or cleaning type products.
