A Personal Advise To Students Seeking To Commit Suicide

Life is not always rosy. Sometimes it throws a little punch on our tracks. However, some people quickly get up, dust themselves and move on. While to others, the same punches may appear to be a permanent blow, degenerating to a sudden end of their lives.

We all encounter disappointments. But some people end up living a life of misery and with no meaning  after such disappointments. They aimlessly wonder the path of life blind-folded by life’s obstacles. Sometimes our wheels of life require a little re-alignment and activation to continue moving on in the right direction. When life seems to have lost its true meaning, and perhaps the next available option is to avoid living it; through committing suicide, then that is the time to go through the below suicide checklist.

•     The first person to commit suicide in the Bible was Judas. He had to do this because he had betrayed and handed over Jesus to be killed. Have you betrayed Jesus to warrant committing suicide?
•     Remember the proverbial ‘Time heals all wounds’.  No matter how hurting it seems and feels, give it some time. Your wound will definitely heal; with time. 
•     Face your fears. Committing suicide brands you cowardice. Do not be afraid to confront issues in your life. Face them head on and if necessary, learn the relevant lessons from each issue. 
•     Live your life. Forget what other people might be thinking about you. This is your life and all that you do in it is your responsibility. Everyone is not always perfect, and so do you. 
•     Joy always come in the morning’, but you must first pass through fire to experience the joy. Exercise patience and perseverance and remember that Gold is refined through fire. 
•     Be realistic. Don’t close your eyes to the temporary emotions. Yes, cry over it if it is really painful . However, learn and plan to move on quickly; no matter how dark everything seems. 
•     Did you give it your all? If yes, then don’t worry. You will always live to fight for another day. Sometimes what we desire or rather want might not be the best thing for our system or lives. 
•     As a Christian, God never gives us challenges that we cannot overcome. He will never give you a challenge beyond your measure. Sometimes God allows us to pass through certain painful events in order to bring us back in harmony with him. 
•     Committing suicide leaves issues unresolved. It is like literally running away from a responsibility the world has bestowed upon you.  
•    ‘Things are never as bad as they seem’….Robin Sharma. Things that cause us lots of pain, heartaches or even sorrows are the same ones that prepare us for success in life. 
•     Some people claim that there is further Biblical evidence of a respectable person; named Samson, who opted to commit suicide after betrayal by his lovely wife; Delilah. However, the same Bible records that at the time of his death, Samson killed more Philistines than he had killed during his lifetime. His death therefore had a purpose and plan from God.  
•     God has not and will never give up on you. Life is a journey of struggles; with ups and downs. Sometimes you are happy and other times you are sad. You must keep on keeping on. Quitters never win. 
•     All human life’s are interconnected. We all depend on each other. Ending your life means leaving a million lives hanging without support. Ending your life means ending other million lives silently. 
•     What will you ever tell God on the Judgement day? That you mortgaged your mind and allowed anger and darkness to prevail upon you? That you had though that life had lost its real meaning?...think beyond such lame excuses. 
•     Have you considered about those who genuinely love you? Your family, friends and relatives? No matter what, there are people who will never abandon you. Their love for you cannot be traded for anything. Don’t disappoint them. They will always stand by you. 
•    ‘A problem shared is half solved’…Anonymous. Did you share your problem and no one came to your rescue?  Did you really share your problem through all available options? 
•     Do you trust in God? With a stone and a sling David killed the mighty Goliath. This happened because he had faith and trust in God. With such faith and trust in God, you can equally overcome your Goliath. 
•     Life goes on. The beautiful ones are not yet born and therefore the best in life exists in the next day. Fight to experience that best day that exists in tomorrow.

Think beyond suicide and go the extra mile. The world will always be packed with both seen and unseen turbulence. Be courageous, persistence and focused. Life is not a desert for you to wonder in any direction. Be decisive, set your goals and begin your journey. With prayers and trust in God, you will achieve your dreams. A void the rope. Enjoy life
