Why do people want to kill themselves?

Answer 1

Untreated depression mostly. Because of the depression they feel hopeless, it is a false feeling brought on by the illness.

Some people kill themselves because they feel like they don't belong anywhere. Sometimes if a loved one has died, that can effect their life. They may even get bullied in school or have a bad home life.

Answer 2

There could be many reasons why you hurt yourself, including depression, stress or deeper and more disturbing emotions. You should never hurt yourself or put yourself in hurtful scenarios; this achieves nothing and can only be harmful. If you are doing this because you are depressed then you may think it makes you feel better or whatever but if you really think about it, does it? Cutting yourself or some other type of self harm cannot in anyway make you feel better, its all in your head. There are many helplines that can help you get past this self destrcutive phase and most are completely anonymous. It's never good to intentionally hurt yourself, so please stop.

Trust me, I've been there and done that, and its not a nice road to go down.

Answer 3

People hit themselves on the head, (ect..) because its another for of cutting wristes or harming themselves. Its called self mutilation. The boy i think is cute does this when he gets angry/frustrated and i feel really bad. But they do it because they have trouble showing their emotions and they could have possibly been abused mentally/physically in their past.

Answer 4

The reason that people want to will themselves is because they fell like they have no meaning in this world which would convince them into killing them self (so taking themselves out of this world) or it might be that their life is terrible or very depressing so that they don't want want do live and some info the word is suicide.

Answer 5

That is a ridiculous answer, is someone is hurting themselves you should want to stop them. Try and help them instead of just letting them harm themselves.

A better answer to the real question would be that some people would rather harm themselves than deal with the emotional pain they experience for one reason or another.

Answer 6

Contrary to what most people think about suicide, the individuals are usually not 'crazy'. Suicide seems to stem from feelings of isolation and hopelessness. The medical community has found that many cases of depression have a physical cause such as chemical imbalance in the brain. Once the imbalance has been treated with medication, many of these people can carry on their normal lives.
