It's hard to not kill yourself when you want to. How do you teach some one not to kill themselves especially a kid. To learn not to do things like kill yourself to escape reality. it comes down to learning wrong from right. it is wrong to kill your self. it is wrong to do what those kids did. it is wrong to look the other way. Sure you could make a case for accountability in this but thats not what keeps one from killing ones self. accountability has little to do with a good moral compass, A vital lesson missing is honor on a personel level. fear is the contoler in accaountability, the real lesson is simple and has been solved by societies mutch older then our own. the other kids rewarded each others behavior with inappropriate social gratification. those who act without honor should not be treated with respect. we must instill in our society the idea that we do what is right rather then doing whatever makes you happy. the kids bullied her to get the social gratification from their peers and the girl killed herself cause she thought it would be better for her. they acted in a way that reflects our society's idealogy. when it came time to make a tough choice they chose to do what they thought would lead to happiness instead of what was honorable or right. mostly withought even knowing to consider the options in that way. (not very klingon) very selfish and young our youthful society. it is hard to do what is right and it doesn't allways make you happy but you can judge your self worth by it. we don't teach that. how to apply it in making decisions, especially tough ones. it has no place in public edjucation. ethics and humanities should be required for the development of good charcature. how to make decisions do what is with honor be self sacraficing stand by it. listen to reason sometimes your wrong it's ok. how to deal with confrontation and keep calm in the face of danger. to realize fear is natural and it is ok. fear management. how to conduct yourself when emotions are to strong, and your judgement is clouded. they should allow martial arts to compliment the philosophy classes. a person with this mindset is much more powerfull then without these lessons being learned. chose to do what is honorable. accept fear and other powerful emotions but remain calm and think clearly. if you let an undiciplined mind wander, then the feelings in the heart will fill the mind with mad thoughts reflecting the emotional state. the lines of rational that come up are rediculous and unwarented in retrospect. just like a dream reflects your emotional state so will your undiciplined mind reflect how you feel into insane rational. why don't they teach this stuff to any kid going through puberty. it should be not just a job for the bible or spiderman comics to teach right and wrong it should be as mandatory as the pledge of alligence. it's probably more important then math.

It comes down to learning wrong from right. it is wrong to kill your self.

As much as this is off topic, I have to disagree. That is too black and white- it all depends on Context . For children, perhaps, for people that are suffering from terminal illness and want a peaceful, fast and painless death - THERE IN NOTHING WRONG WITH WANTING THAT.

Maybe it's just because I am exposed to it more than the average person and maybe its just because I get to know and love some of these people, but I don't see anything moral wrong with it. For some people is it NOT an emotionally ruled choice ( I think I went over this with Kurt Vs Hunter), it's sound, well thought out, logical and for the best.
