Despite what TV would have you believe, most methods of suicide have a very low success rate. Drug overdoses may work in as little as 1.8 percent of attempts, while cutting wrists barely kills one in 10 people. So it’s no surprise people often turn to guns. Except guns don’t always work either—and when a gunshot suicide goes wrong, things get pretty unpleasant. In 1995, an Australian man decided to bow out early. Taking his pump-action shotgun, he placed the barrel against his chest and fired. The resulting blast knocked him off his feet and blew a hole out his back—all without damaging a single vital organ. Getting to his feet, the unnamed man placed the gun under his jaw and tried again, at which point things got gross.Despite blowing his jaw clean off, the man survived. Now missing half his face, he managed to stagger 120 meters (400 ft) to a nearby slope, lie down, reload, and try again. The third shot finally did the trick, but not before he got to experience the sort of horror usually reserved for combat veterans.
No it's a thread meant to tell you to follow your dreams and never give up. In at her words if you first don't succeed, try, try again. I just used suicide as an example
Because suicide isn't a serious problem and should totally be joked about or used for examples like this. (For all the people thinking I am serious, I'm being sarcastic)
Studies about suicide are pretty interesting. PSYC/SOC major so I find human behavior fascinating. You are absolutely right though, suicide is not the answer especially when most attempts are unsuccessful.
I thought it was a good example, I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone... But seriously if you fail at trying to kill yourself, can you actually succeed at anything?
