What would you say to someone who fealt a shotgun in the mouth was the best method of suicide?

December 1st, 2009 by eranio

If you had to choose a "way out" doesn’t it seem like there are better ways? I know it’s probably very quick and perhaps relatively painless, but there must be less gruesome ways that will be just as effective. What do you think?

    You wont die, you’ll just blow off part of your head, unfortunately you’ll still be alive and in alot of pain. Of course is would depend on the angle. Most gun shot suicides to the head succeed in blowing off the front of their faces, jaws, etc., but they’re still alive.

    Personally I would rather just go to sleep and not wake up. Obviously pills. I could never pull the trigger.

    there might be. but anything that will prevent you from breathing is painful.

    A shotgun in the mouth is quick, effective, and painless. The worst thing that could happen to someone whos about to off themselves is to die in misery: thats the reason they off themselves, they are miserable.

    I’d suggest a rifle…it has more power and less chance for just a bad injury as a shotgun does. The shotgun might just leave him a vegetable.

    There are less gruesome ways and there is one that works very well and it’s called living. I’ve never understood why people wanted to commit suicide life is not that bad and there are ways of coping with stress and anger any problems that one may have. If anyone is considering suicide think it over. The people who love you won’t be too happy. Just think about life without you before you do "it"

    I’d tell them to drive 40 MPH on Interstate 10 through Phoenix. That’ll be quick and painless. Actually, I think suicide is a cowards way out. It hurts the ones left behind forever!

    potassium cyanide is the way to go. Fastest relief.

    Stop breathing is another good technique but it will need a strong will power. I tried it once but gave up for fresh air.

    I would tell them to seek help before they make any decision.

    My own opinion is that unless they are terminally ill or facing unsurmountable medical issues, that any suicidal intention is ultimately considering a coward’s "way out".

    This method may be quick, but it’s also usually vengeful – designed to leave maximum impact on those who are left to discover the body, clean up the mess and be tortured with guilt and grief.

    there are better ways but, i suggest the person doesnt do it. ive been where i thought i had other way out. but, now things arent to bad. so i suggest the ppl just hang in there and try to stay strong.

    I’d tell them the story of a kid I went to high school with.
    He was a good looking guy and popular. But we all have our demons you know.
    Our sophomore year, he attempted suicide by sticking a shotgun in his mouth.
    He lived.
    Years later I ran in to him at a coffee shop. He had went through numerous reconstructive surgeries…
    He had one of those voice box things in his throat (can’t remember what they are called) and still missed half a nose… in fact, half his face was pretty much missing.
    The incident certainly changed his life and the only "way out" it gave him was a way to greater challenges and worse misery than he began with.
    Suicide doesn’t help anyone… in fact, it hurts the people left behind. If that is part of the intent of the "committer", they have to realize how absurd it is, because they won’t be around to get their wish in watching others suffer.
    Like I said, we all have our demons…
    But, this too shall pass.

    Understand the difference between Temporary and Permanent

    What has to happen to make the problem stop ar be easier to handle? … look for solutions, and if there are any, the problem is Temporary.

    changing your denture setting is permanent

    It’s definitely NOT the best way out. First off, I don’t condone suicide. However, if anyone must choose a method that is NOT it. A shotgun to the head doesnt’ gaurantee suicide. That’s all I’ll say. However, if you are thinking of suiciding, DON’T. Call a crisis center.
