  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

Is eighteen too young to take my own life? I really have no intention of living as I lost everything but at the same time I am really young and I feel like I am wasting away so much by committing suicide at my current age.

I really need help coping with the fact that I am only a young adult and my life is already coming to an end.

You're an adult and no one can tell you what to do as far as suicide. I will say as an older person your life is going to change a lot if you give it a chance. Suicide will always be there always be an option. Maybe you should consider trying to live?

No, imo there is no such thing as "too young" to decide you want to end your suffering. However, if you're having "mixed feelings," then I would say it might be worth reconsidering; when I made my last attempt, I was as close to 100% certain as a biological organism with a survival instinct can get. More to the point, I felt utterly at peace with my decision. At peace with all that I would leave behind, at peace with the void I was heading towards, and at peace with how much I had lived up to that point. I believe you're "ready" when you feel that kind of peace. So if you aren't there yet, you might need to give it some more time.

I agree with what was said about you being an adult, and that in the end, the decision to end your suffering is yours alone to make.

That said, I also think that if you're feeling uncertain or confused about this kind of decision, I probably wouldn't go through with it just yet. The option to catch the bus will most likely still be there later on.

Life can take some unexpected turns, and time might lead you to a better place if you're willing to hold on a little longer. At least, that's what I can say from my own experience.

Only you can decide if life is worth living. I was just a child when I tried ctb for the 1st time on the night of my 13th birthday due to physical and verbal abuse and neglect. Honestly, from my earliest memories, I knew my life was and would continue to be hell and I was NOT wrong. I also can honestly say I never had any hesitation about ctb, even as a child. This is what makes me think perhaps you can salvage things because you have that hesitation. Your life, opportunities and resources may be different. I wish you peace and happiness wherever you can find it.

I agree. My only issue all these years has been accessing a method I prefer (even now as an adult) but, even as a child on my first attempt on the night of my 13th birthday, I had NO HESITATION after years of abuse and neglect. The hesitation here tells me there is hope in some form/way. I hope there is.

Hard to say. For one, only you know how much you are suffering right now, and you are an adult capable of making your own decisions. But you are young, and i promise you your life is a gonna change a lot, because you will can get older and see how wild life is. But if your life is gonna change for better or for worse, only time can tell and no one can predict it. I know how you feel because i've started having suicidal thoughts since i was 16, and i am 25 now.

The thing is, i've experienced a lot of good stuff since then. A lot has happened, a lot has changed, i had lots of fun and lots of sad moments too. I decided to live my life to the fullest and i did. But i am still considering death, and sometimes i regret not doing it sooner.

If you are in doubt, then i'd wait. You still have all the time in the world to decide, and you shouldn't make that decision in a rush, because you can't go back once it's done. You can, however, live your life and see how things turn out, and revisit the plan of suicide when you feel more ready. Before suicide was my main goal, but now it's my plan B. Tho my case is different and i'm only sticking around because i don't wanna hurt my family more.

Anyways, you can always plan better. You have time to think about it, and only you can say when it's your time. I wish you luck and i hope you find clarity and peace.

I also wanted to die at age 18. It's been over 4 years since then, and I still do feel suicidal, but I am grateful I had the opportunity to experience my adulthood somewhat. Moving out of my parents house, gaining some independence - living life at your own will, it is a much different experience (at least to me) than when you are 18. I don't know your personal situation at all so it would impossible to say definitely, and if you're feeling so horribly those feelings are still completely valid regardless of whether you're 18 or 80. But if I had not failed back then, I would've died in an abusive home & with no chance of my own freedom, and I think everybody deserves that kind of opportunity. Perhaps you will feel the exact same in years time, or perhaps you could find some meaning in life that makes it worth the pain. But since you said you feel a little conflicted, perhaps it couldn't hurt to give it a few more years? Suicide will always be available to you, but life won't - if you decide to go through with it. I wish you luck with whatever path you take :hug::heart:

CTB is the only path you could possibly take at this point in your life that is 100% guaranteed to not lead to better circumstances. Every single other decision has the possibility to lead you down a path where you find a reason to stick around. The choice is yours to make, but please really absorb what I just said. The option is always there, you could tell yourself "If I still want this when I'm 21, I can have it".

I second this completely! Yes, I am still suicidal but am also grateful to have lived the experiences I have in the past few years. Give it a chance, because a lot changes in your early 20s — you have more autonomy to seek what you want out of life!

i think if you're on the fence at all, to hold back as best you can. plan it out, think about the hypotheticals, gather materials if it makes you feel more secure. but ending your life? if it's not a hell yes, it's a hell no

i'm also a young adult. i don't think i'm too young, these feelings have persisted well over half my life. i feel like i really tried to get better, and i'm confident that my depression is chronic. suicide is a permanent solution, make sure your problems are permanent too

Only you can make that judgement. Since you're asking yourself that question, you're probably not ready to let go so focus on what you can do to improve your situation.
