Should I Kill Myself?

When I was surfing the internet, I came across an piece of news about a teenager killing himself, in other words, a suicide kid. Honestly speaking, after everything that happens nowadays all over the world, one single kid guilty of murdering himself can no longer attract my insensible mind. However, an article on that piece of news grabbed my intension, because the very first line of the article was “Once again, I am considering about the parents”.

The title of the article was about the relationship between suicide and Internet, but the thing that really had me was that we should not kill ourselves, for our parents’ sake. It is a strange saying if you put it that way. Considering the fact that we are living as an independent creature, our lives belong to nobody but us. In other words, we are living for ourselves. In this case, what does it have to do with our parents?

In fact, in the ocean of the world, no one is an island. As long as one is alive, he or she must have some connections with others. In my point of view, death is the easiest way to deal with a thing. Actually, death is one of the several things that can be done by only lying down. Getting murdered is something beyond our power to control, but killing ourselves is a choice of our own. Suicide, apart from self-sacrifice, actually is nothing but an escape of life, which makes suicide a significant characteristic of cowards. When facing stress or challenge, the better way, though also harder, is to get over it. On the contrary, killing yourself doesn’t change the situation at all.

Then let us come back to the parents. Out of every creature on earth, your parents love you the most. After everything that your parents have done for you, you cannot afford letting them down, you even do not deserve the right to make them shed tears for you anymore. After all, it is them who gave you a life and all you can do with your life is to live it well. Imagine if you have struggled years to raise your child and finally send him to a university. After a whole semester, instead of a grown-up college student, you receive a body sealed in pieces of worn-out planks, maybe you cannot even recognize the face for is has crashed the ground a few seconds after you little boy “fly off” the building. What would you feel for this kind of situation? In fact, instead of making things good, suicide can only make the situation worse. The result caused by simply jumping out of the window is not simple at all. It can never be good to take a life; no matter it is yours or others.

At last, I would like to state my opinion again. Regardless of what have happened, there will always be a solution other than suicide. In this case, we should not commit suicide, even for our parents’ sake.
