You made your sister an only child after the "Half of My Heart is in Iraq" sticker on your truck became untrue.

When the boy I almost killed myself over in high school announced his breakup over Facebook, I realized I was living the life I had always dreamed about.

My father almost died when I was 14 because I lied to my Mom, telling her there was nothing in the drawer where I found his suicide note.

Thanks to me my best friend hasn't killed himself yet, but when I burn out and stop trying for him he'll kill two other people, then himself.

I had to find out from a myspace bulletin that the man I loved for 9 of the 18 years I had been alive, hung himself from a swing set in a local park.

Because he killed himself, I was able to fall in love.

sorry about that
Funny how I considered Mom the weak parent, but he's the one who killed himself.

Regretful Lack of Attention
My best friend hung himself on a Friday afternoon, and when I checked my cell phone the morning of his funeral I realized he had called me that day at 3:24PM.

As his favorite song played on my mp3 player, I realized why he tried to kill himself.

Until last year I never realized that people in mental institutions really do color and put jigsaw puzzles together.

When my phone rang, I expected to hear her voice, but all I heard was her mother crying and saying, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I didn't believe you."

"Kill myself" and "Kill it myself" have very different meanings and the typo earned me 30 hours of group therapy.

There's no life worse than surviving a failed suicide.

If it weren't for all the songs about suicide, I wouldn't be here.

don't breed your dog
If I see another dog get dumped at the shelter, I just might save it or kill myself.

Had I gone back to sleep when I saw his number, he'd be dead, but I still feel like a bad friend.

As it turns out, today was just one more in an endless succession of days where the desire to get out of bed and go in to work marginally outweighed the desire to put my head in the oven and turn on the gas.

I worry he's just waiting for the last Harry Potter book to come out before he kills himself.

When we found his body, only his lower half stuck out of the ground so it looked like the earth was eating him.

I didn't expect myself to survive to see the two year anniversary of the day they told me it had been a single bottle of pills that took her away.

After our usual back fence bull session, complaining about shady politicians and the sad state of the world, my neighbor walked into his house picked up a shotgun and blew his head off.
