[Tips] How to Write Your Suicide Note

[Ionic & Schizo]

Or maybe the Entertainment section would be more appropriate :g:. It's just written far too seriously. Kudos to the original author.

Your suicide note will be the last thing people have to remember you by.
Your relatives, friends, police officers, and others, will read it. In some cases, suicide notes, or parts of them, even get to the media. You might think that suicide notes would be the most carefully crafted documents, however in many cases, they are written carelessly and hastily.
The following tips are provided for people who want to leave a real impression.

Note: if you are not actually committing suicide because you want to die but are just looking to get attention, do not bother reading this. Your note will mean nothing once the doctors are done treating the scratches on your wrists or pumping the 2000mg of Advil out of your stomach. There are better ways of getting attention anyway. I suggest you try one of the many services for people who are only crying for help.

Tip #1
Start Early.
Getting an early start is important. If you can, start a few days before your suicide. Make sure you're in a clear state of mind. You do not want to try to write your note while waiting for the pills you took to kick in, or have to rush through it before you bleed to death. Giving yourself enough time to write your note will help eliminate the most common mistakes.

Tip #2
Don't try to say everything.
There are probably a lot of things you have on your mind, and you need to take some time and sort them out. Decide what is most important to say and leave out things that don't matter. Decide now what you want your readers to come away with after reading your note. Eliminate those things that distract from that point.

Tip #3
Handwrite your note if you can.
A handwritten note is a lot more personal. However, if you are worried your letter will not be understood, or you are physically not able to write it by hand don't worry about it. The important thing is that you get your message across.

Tip #4
Be natural.
Write the way you would speak. A good suicide note is personal, not formal. Don't get out the thesaurus and look for the biggest words you can find. Be yourself.

Tip #5
Avoid clich

[JC/Raiden]

[GantoX]

Wow.... this almost makes me wana see him commit suicide for implanting these kind of ideas in kids heads that see this =.=

Put a age tag on in ffs

 

[iNs@nE]

Classy Post .. LOL ....

@ GantoX

We dont need an age tag. We need an emo tag.

 

[The_Gatekeeper_]

wow, "suicide notes 101." When someone REALLY pulls off something like this AND includes a well-thought out note, it makes you pissed off when emo losers do it just to grab attention -.-

of course suicide should NEVER be a solution to ANYONE. It's just plain wrong, and you think you're hurting everyone around you, you're really hurting yourself and who knows who will care when you go. A life is too good to pass up like that :\

lol, sorry about the sentimentalism, I just hate suicides.

 

[scrat55]

some ppl maybe be taking notes here... but seriously just make it short and easy to understand... ex: Life sux... i am going to kill my self... not write an essay

If you follow things you read about killing yourself online and believe you should, maybe its for the best. Social Darwinism anyone?

Suicide is pathetic... no offense to anyone that might have lost someone to it.

But seriously it's the ultimate form of running away from your problems.
