This is getting crazy. I hope this doesn’t start a whole lot of more suicides, and hopefully this will be the last.
Suicide count 4? Unbelievable.
To all of the suicide victims, may you rest in peace T______T <3

not diggin’ this little trend…i’m used to my handful of suicides a year from Korea, but this is getting a little too out of hand.

(SIGH) What is up with the high rates of suicide? Even though I don’t know the people who have committed suicide, this is getting depressing T.T

@holy
Have some respect man!

it’s sad, but at the same time they’re total idiots for doing that. my parents were talking about how it became a trend to kill yourself in korea. pretty sick fad -_-

Is this like the ‘IT’ thing is Korea now a days or something? I can’t even feel bad because it’s so stupid. Is this like a cult thing?

Seriously, everyone is dying. Why are more people tempted to end their own lives?
RIP

OMG this is awful!!!
I’m so sorry that people are feeling so bad they want to take their own life!
I hope there are no more deaths.

This month, the trend..

Suicide happens in every country but South Korea has one of the highest, which includes rich countries like Finland and Japan.

Reminds me of the documentary i watched about how Japan introduced antidepressants as your soul having a cold. 

I don’t know how the korean culture feels about getting help from a psychitrist, but they really need to stress the importance of getting help for your problems.

Then again we don’t know what goes thru their mind when they think suicide is the way out of the problem.

My prayers are with all the families.

it’s starting to like another bad year

stupid….why is everyone committing suicide?

sorry for my rude comment, but i need to comment on THAT ALIEN-LOOK GIRL
WHO IS SHE?? omg…O_O ==> it’s bigger than a tennis ball.. LMAO.
okay, i dont think they shud RIP, gawsh, suicidal it’s not a good thing to do, man!

RIP. this is very sad. What’s happening right now..

sheesh..i feel sorry for their families and friends..RIP T_T

@ Yer Mum:
but they dont think bout their family. their husband/wife. their kids. their parents (especially if the one committing suicide is the only child)
errrmm.. what do u call that?
i always think that we shouldnt runaway from problems.
only cowards can think of suicide.
besides, God is the one who gave us our lives and He’s the only one who can take it away too. suicide is a big sin, dude…
especially if u see a lot of ppl struggle to survive everyday.

My deep condolences.
RIP.

OMG… that’s… horrible.

You ignorant people have obviously never had depression before. Sure you’ve been sad now and then but a depression is a fucking mental illness. By calling them selfish it’s like you’re saying they thought it was a cool attention grabber but no, they are not in a mental state to make the right actions.

Yeah everyone has problems but you guys think that this stuff could be prevented by eating icecream and taking a nice stroll through the park? I’m seriously sickened by how many people do not realize that depression is a mentall illness and it kills. If anyone had the choice to be in a good mental state I’m pretty sure they would… But how many suicides have there been from people who have seemingly perfect lives? It’s not that their lives sucks so put it together.

And to milangurl89:

“i wont say RIP anymore, bcuz i hate suicides. it’ll lead you to hell anyway, so how can they supposed to “rest in PEACE”? “

So suicides lead us to hell? Why? Because that’s what religion has taught people? Fuck off, they rest in peace because at the time of their undoing they thought this was the easiest way out. If they weren’t at peace when they were alive then they found it after.

“but they dont think bout their family. their husband/wife. their kids. their parents (especially if the one committing suicide is the only child)
errrmm.. what do u call that?“

I call it not being in the right mind of state to make the best decisions. Mental illness, read about it.
“i always think that we shouldnt runaway from problems.
only cowards can think of suicide.“

Sure that’s a good way to think there’s nothing to bash there. What happens if you were in their shoes? Exactly, you aren’t.
“besides, God is the one who gave us our lives and He’s the only one who can take it away too. suicide is a big sin, dude…
especially if u see a lot of ppl struggle to survive everyday. “

My mom gave me life and God isn’t giving or taking anything. Do you not realize the people who kill themselves in the first place are already struggling day to day to cope and survive with themselves?

@ People who think seeing a psychiatrist/therapist/psychologist works all the time… Haha

I agree with most of what SLDXA said. Depression is something that most people overlook…its not a thing that can be cured after a few sessions of therapy, it can take years for you to be cured and even then, it never really leaves you. I have someone really close and precious to me go through depression and let me tell you, its not pretty. Even though i don’t know exactly what goes through their mind, and i definitely don’t agree on people taking their own lives, to be actually MAD at those people and say that their going to hell and shouldn’t rest in peace, it just makes it seem like your a failure as a person. And if you think that only “God” can take away someones life just because he “created” it, then your really something. That’s like say its okay for a mother to kill her own child just because she gave life to it. But i guess that’s religion. I won’t argue much with your opinion about God. We as outsiders don’t know ANYTHING about them, so we as outsiders should give our condolences and just stfu.

You have to look at trends when discussing this topic.  This is not that different from the suicide “epidemic” in Micronesia where one wealthy, popular teenager suicide unleashed many more suicides in the months to come.  If one looks at Korean news, he or she can see there are many more suicides that occured besides the celebrities.  The tipping point has tipped and I believe there will be more suicides in the months to come.  As more people commit suicides, it becomes the IT thing to do as people above already had mentioned.  It becomes accepted, and people become numb to the idea.  As Malcolm Gladwell mentions in his book, The Tipping Point, previous crimes/ suicides breed more of the same acts.  Like the prominent teenager who spawned more suicides, these celebrities (who impacts many more people) will spawn more of the same acts.
