"You don't have it any better or any worse than any one else, you just have it different."
That is the single best way I have ever seen that explained.
Honestly, I used to have suicidal thoughts as a kid, I just wanted to die.
I was bullied from the age of 5 to 9 in school. Constantly. Every single fucking day. And I hated my life.
Now, a 5-9 year old being driven into having suicidal thoughts by his peers is just disgusting. At the time I thought it was the thing I wanted, but now I look back, I hate those fucking ass holes. Even more so than I did back then.
I even broke my parents hearts quite a few times. I was meant to be a twin, but my other twin died, and through out my Primary School life, I would shout "I wish I was the other Twin". I never thought about it much, but now I'm older I can see how that would have hurt my parents quite a bit.
All of that aside, I'm relatively happy with my life now. I moved on to a different school at the age of 10, made some new friends, only 4 other people from my old school came with me to the second school, so I basically had a fresh start. I even made friends with one of the kids that would bully me.
After that school, we moved up again to an even bigger school, a lot more students. Low and behold, the main guy that used to bully me all those years back was there. But my, he was scared of me. Every time we locked eyes he would look away, he barely ever crossed paths with me, and best of all, he was still a fat twat.
So what you said is right Glocky, suicide is just a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Once the problem is gone, there is nothing to worry about, and you basically realise that thinking you wanted to kill yourself is just stupid.
