Dont get me wrong, I think it is a terrible thing to happen.. and would certainly try to help anyone who was contemplating suicide.... but I just dont feel sorry for them when they actually do it. My friends argument is that its not up to them, and there are other factors such as chemical inbalances etc...

What are your thoughts?
I think you have a pretty close-minded view of suicide "victims". For the most part they have been pushed by the limits of their environmental factors whether it be their family, job, school, mental capacity, activities out-side of school, ect...It isn't natural for any species to really committ suicide, especially human beings, unless their is some chemical imbalance or just have been pushed to the limits.
