Greater Suicides during Holiday Season, why analysists are right on this theory Options

[Mr. Slowjamz]

well.....usually Christmas and the Holiday season would be of time of joy and happiness......but ...2 weeks ago...our class has been reading the famed novel "Catcher in the Rye".....and the thoughts and theme of this depressing book ...and how the book takes place during the holiday season ...... .ive recently got teachers thoughts.....that Christmas time could be one of the most depressing times for most people, an that the suicide rate is increased during this time .........

well....ironically .......it just happened yesterday, when a sophomore , shot himself with a gun..at the night of dec 7 .. i wouldnt expect that it would really happen.......and being in a new school and all and having to not know the kid really affected me and changed views in my life......it not only shocked me .....it gave me new sense of direction......"if u have something to value, enrich and protect it as though...you will never let go"...it reminded me back during 9/11 ...when everyone in my old school were allowed to leave the classroom to talk to counselors and leave school....since i used to live closer to nyc.......i dont think it would be a happy season in my school......including to the families and close friends to the person who died.........i guess......things like these will happened to everyones lives......including to the most happiest people....

comments on this would be gladly appreciated ...

There was this guy at my school. And I would see him around the halls when we would switch classes. He was a very close friend of basically all my friends. I never had the chance to be close to the dude. But I knew he was a good person, even on our varsity team.

So one day February 29, 2004, We all got called to the auditorium where we were informed that he had died from shooting himself. The pain I saw in all my friends was just painful itself to see. Our school isnt that big, everyone knows each other and is cool with each other, and when he passed away it was like the world stopped. Even for those who had not known him personally.

"Suicide is a long term solution, to a short term problem."

The idea of suicide itself is usually not only intended for the people who are going to do it to themselves but also intended for those close to the person. The person doing the act usually is asking for one last help before he is going to do it. And if that help does not come. The act of suicide is to be a point splattered to all those he knows that you have failed to notice the signs, failed to act, and failed to see the victim was in pain. So you can say... Suicide itself is selfish.

This is not the case for every suicide but it also usually is the case for a considerable amount of suicides.

like they say... you either help the person in need. Or your just part of the problem!
