Suicide (DP)


Insanity and madness directly affect our protagonist, Esther, in The Bell Jar. Check out this page on suicide: http://www.suicide.org/suicide-causes.html . Is suicide ever a justifiable option? Is there a way out of committing suicide?

  1. suicide = freedom

    ok. so here it goes: I saw the language B video and it really made me think how much I missed that. I miss not caring for things. I miss the feeling of uncertainty ... the fact of not knowing what may or may not happen. I miss that time when we used to do things just because we like or felt like it, not because we have to or we have to hand it in before it's too late.
    Now I feel that everything is planned; that teachers, family and even friends know what is going to happen to us, as if everything was written down with blood; our blood and sweat, that we have horribly shed through these two years.
    I ask myself: why are we really doing this? if we already know or have a small ray of shiny ideas of what we are or want to be, why do we keep on fighting for something that apparently is already planned?
    Is it for us, the world, our teachers, our family, our uncertainly planned future, for show-offs, or who do we want to impress? Aren't we current people like anyone else? and if we are not, then why do current people also do what they want to fight for?
    I feel as if someone had erased the freckles from my face or as if now I had a different eye colour. I feel that someone has changed me. I do feel different. I see myself in the mirror and see someone who is not me, someone who has been through loads of salty tears crawling down her cheeks, someone who is old in experience, but a kid in the out side.... maybe I just grew up without really noticing it... I got old in mind, but a child in heart...

    I have no clue if this is the right place to post this, but i felt like it... that video got me lost in the longest train of thought.........

  2. ok so suicide is not the answer....i think they should look for professional help, i think nobody deserves death. honestly i dont have that kind of issues but sometimes like for example this week i've being thinking that everything would be so much easer if i just die hahaha...its to much pressure and not only from school but also from my house and society....ofcourse im not gonna commit suicied, i have my few but precious reasons to not do it, and becuase i now that someday everything is gonna be alright....so i think that no, suicide is not the answer, and they should do some excercise, and i dont know think about all those things that makes you happy, and that makes you feel safe. although is very difficult for them, so i dont know what should they do to not commit suicide...

    sorry for my bad spelling...im doing monografia rigth now so im not thinking, im just working and acting automaticamnete (jaja)

  3. "I miss that time when we used to do things just because we like or felt like it, not because we have to or we have to hand it in before it's too late."

    Each day i found a new answer at Hardcore, times change and we look back and see what we where, how we've changed and its sad.

    I recommend you to listen to "What happened?" by H2O & "Nuestra familia" By Madball, when i read this i listen those songs and realized they where somehow an answer for this post.
