I'm woefully ignorant on mental illness and depression, but I feel like everytime someone kills themselves they become martyrs and are collectively put on a pedestal. We talk about how great they were and how special and how missed they are.
Doesn't this maybe give weak/depressed people a false sense of worth or in their eyes a way to be the center of attention. I look at it as a shelfish thing to do, a pathetic action for cowards who can't face their problems. Even more disgusting if you do it and leave peopld behind, especially kids.
