You know what fuck that.
You go to combat and see and do the shit I've done. You get bombed and shot at almost every day. You try waking up in middle of the night and see someone standing over you about with a knife about to stab you to death only to blink and and realize they were never there. Try seeing people you know die. Try working long days only to get off of work to a cold meal and a even colder shower. On top of all that your girlfriend is at home fucking your best friend. Try hoping every day that next IED takes your life so that you don't have to live to see the next day. Yeah I lived it. Let this poor schmuck walk a mile in those shoes and tell me his problems were so bad. Not a day went by I didn't think about killing myself, but I didn't. Yes I wanted to die, but not by my own hands. I would never go out like that.

Sorry to go off like that, but now maybe you can see why I have no sympathy. Weakness is all it is. It's those kinds of hardships that make you stronger. If you can't survive adolescence then you really maybe suicide isn't such a bad option, because life doens't get any easier as you get older.
