Suicide is not the answer to unemployment. It could make depress though every one have to fight, have to work hard, have to survive then will get the pleasure of achievement.

I say no! I lost my step uncle cause of that in oct.18.2002. Why does this all ways come up around this time? If everyone started to commit suicide just cause things went bad there be no freedom in the world because every one who ever fought for freedom would of been dead because they lost there friend been shoot or lost a leg which would cause them to think this way. So I say no dont ever think that way. If you lost someone like that you would feel the same way. I cant find a job so Im going in the navy and Im aways under pressure but I say no I wont give up. NO Hell NO. Hell plus o equal hello... So some day you be able to say "Ive walk thought hell and back' You could do it.

I'm not sure if u believe in a Higher Power, but for me, something other than self has kept me, and I believe it to be God. Try having two beatiful boys, no job,returning college student with 15 credits, going through a divorce, a recovering gambler, and stuck with fibroids. Life is hard for most, but it's do able. Come out that self pity party, and think of the good things life has granted you. I'm sure theres other counting on you to be around and possibly successful in do time. I thank god for my trials, and will still dealing, I'm getting stronger.

Dizzy says 942 days ago

yea dats true but when ur born u have sum1 to take care of ur needs wat happen when u reach adulthood n ur unemployed u can't rely on them?? can u?

CHRISTOPHER HELLER says 909 days ago

Robert, your reply on this topic is short but says a lot yes they are born unemployed but they are born with an immediate job i do believe like eating learning loving all that has to do with the shaping of a well rounded mind and hopefully a full future with that in mind i am a 40 yr. old man that feels the same but not over unemployment but how life is beating me down and down i can get a sense of were others feel like that is the only way out it has passed threw my mind several times i am at a place in life were i am dead in my heart i wonder if i can ever get back the simple feeling of love again just love for myself and others pretty simple i would like to think but in the big picture without love in the heart what is the sense life one might ask that is were i am at with this

Maldita says 943 days ago

you'll commit suicide just because your unemployed? just because u feel that everyone is moving up except u? well u better think again, come on! every people has their own burden in life..

have u thought of those people that they dont even have food in their plate? that they dont have nothing to eat in a day?

have u thought of a cancer patient who's been striving just to live a little bit longer??

your problem is nothing compared to their problems. come on! think positive.

there are lots of people who have much worse problem than u have.

so why commit suicide? if they can survive their problem, why cant u?

just try harder, maybe ur just not prepared yet. do some researches on how to pass an interview. prepare some answers for those questions they commonly ask during an interview.

there are lots of jobs out there, u just have to find the job that fits u.

Robert says 943 days ago

Real talent! Very well spoke! You must write more blogs and share us

Maldita says 943 days ago

thanks for ur compliment..

Abiola Tosin says 943 days ago

I say No!NO!! siucide is not a solution to unemployment..i am faced with a simlilar situation in a country where everyone seem to be desperate to make a living through every possible means. i have not given up and i therefore chose to deploy my passion at creating a job for myself.I know i would do better at this than if i had gone for a paid employment somewhere.all you need do is be patient,find what tyour passions are and begin to depoly them at solving problems and soon you will be out of joblessness..

Beanizer says 940 days ago

job nterviews are just tests--dey have remedial classes; Suicide is a COMPLETE FAILURE :)

All Smiles says 934 days ago

just remember that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem... later on down the road there might be the biggest and best job for you... you just have to weather the storm a little while longer...we cant see wat the future holds and that sometimes makes it difficult to go on... but you've got to be opptimistic and just keep looking, keep searching... giving up is the ultimate failure and like Beanizer said "Suicide is a complete failure"
So don't give up, not now, not ever...:)

Mehers says 930 days ago

suicide isn't the answer of any problem. its the life u have to compete, get smthing loss smthing and moves on.

Kengo says 927 days ago

When suicide becomes a social obligation, i say go for it, i believe it was called altruistc suicide...a form of suicide that occurs to which stress the indiv's responsibility to society. Unemployment is a burden on society, therefore, one must alleviate this burden.

National Blogger says 927 days ago

No its not, Just think before u react, life could be a whole lot worse than now, People struggle evryday just to obtain an Degree, but you have 1 already, be patient, things will pickup, ur life means more than some Job.

Kim Realubit says 927 days ago

what an answer to a problem! Suicide is for cowards.But if you're a full-pledged christian, you have unfathomable faith that somehow,somewhere there's gonna be help,there'll be a miracle...so you just have to wait. Don't be another coward,another useless spine in society. Be a strong branch,don't let odds defeat you.Keep hoping,keep praying...KIM

Mehers says 927 days ago

hey kengo no if unemployment is burden so suicide isn't the best solution man is the poor ppls have to kill themselves to finish the poverty.

Evryliana says 916 days ago

if u think about ending u're life, maybe will end in this world no trouble at all.. but when u dead are you thinking about the other side world after dead, are u already had enough faith to cross the heaven, or hell... the choice is yours.. my advised, have faith.. and pray to god, coz god is inside your heart, trust me god can hear u, if you have faith on it...

Emochick says 914 days ago

suicid is defeninty not the answer 2 unemploymt seriously come on just cuz u aint got a job dont mean you go kill yourself iv lost plenty of jobs and hav never consinplated suicide....i have when it came to a break up but thats diff but i didnt do it i just cut myself its a lot easyier and dont make that much of a mess anyways so if u want to particapate in self harm cut dont kill

Ravinder says 909 days ago

Suicide is never a solution to any problem. If others do not have any job for you, then find a job for yourself. Become self employed and provide jobs to others. Very simple, take one small step first and then leap forward whenever you find the opportunity.

CHRISTOPHER HELLER says 909 days ago

i am at a place that is of a sense of having a dead heart i lost everything and that includes what i once had in my heart which today is 100 percent gone and i feel at the very best lost in life and lost with myself can someone tell me how that happens when all i want in this world is to be loved and to love another i am at my wits end on what to do or say or just about any of the above on this i am a 40 yr. old male and i am at a place in life where for the first time i am lost, and i do not know what to do or were to go i am days from being homeless and i understand the topic of this blog very much to as i am at that point but for other reasons not unemployment all i want is to feel a need of self worth and be needed and just maybe there might be someone out there that truly cares for me for me because i am so lost in my own heart on were to go in life and what to do i pray and pray that god finds me and saves one sole that i know is worth saving for i am unsure if i can save myself

BeaKause says 907 days ago

Suicide is never an option. Wouldn't that be something if one took their life to only have missed that phone call by five minutes that was going to rock their world? Life is unpredictable. If one's life is so predictable that they can't see a tomorrow...they can make that change happen...don't wait on fate or death. They can take a lessor job,they never know where it may lead them, or start going to church..out of curosity if nothing else...join a gym where they will meet new people...but don't thinking suicide...or they are going to miss something great!

Mtnhigh says 905 days ago

it's not only you who's experiencing that problem so as half of the people in the world. it's just a phase every country go through but it will bounce back. i don't know how old you are but back in the early 90's we experienced the same thing in California...also in the 40's as i watched the history channel...you took the initiative to improve yourself by earning an associate. that tells me that you're a structured person and have goals in life. job is scarse at the moment due to our economic crisis. we will get over this humps eventually. i suggest do some voluntary works for now to non-profit organization like homeless shelters (they are always in need of volunteers. the people mostly in there altho' not all don't stand a chance...whereas, you have an education to back you up. see the difference?
keep blogging...we're here.

Dizam says 905 days ago

hahahah! that's the problem! you haven't yet tried other options! hello? people who are insane thinks suicide. Satan would probably laugh at you! Pray!!!! and think God has a wonderful paln for you, only for you!

suicide is a worst option those who felt defeated by there destiny commits suicide but if u change ur destiny by ur hardwork u will feel like a warrior

Gurpreet says 873 days ago

if you can not get a job after graduation,,i believe you should go for post graduation..and mean while keep looking for job...
even if its too bad..you can never count on suicide ,,royality is not living within walls of gold but struggling on the cliffs of mountains...humans are bad and wicked,,they are not meant to loose

CrystalKM says 861 days ago

As others have already said, suicide is never an answer to anything. You have to remember that no matter how much experience or what kind of degree you have, jobs are just difficult to find right now.

Use this opportunity to create more opportunities. Transform what you consider bad into something beneficial. Maybe consider taking more classes. If money is an issue, you can always get a lower paid job while you still continue to search for the job you initially want.

Set your goals in sight, use support from other people, persevere and keep trying. It may be tough now, but once you accomplish what you want, it will be even more special to you.

Chrissy says 856 days ago

NO. Suicide is the last thing you should be thinking about after all the time you put in to make yourself a better person, not to mention the money it cost. You have invested in yourself because you are worth it and now the road to employment is here and it is what you have been waiting for, so hold your head up and go down that road, the only difference is that it is longer than you thought...so what. You are not the only one in the boat. I took workshops on resume and cover letters, along with the Labour Market Information and Hidden Job Market, you will feel more confident if you emerse yourself in these things. I still am looking after about 5 weeks now...yes I am discouraged to, had a rough day today but tomorrow will be better and closer to the job I want. Hope for the best only, think positive.

BuNnY says 856 days ago

if u have attended 100 interviews and still not get a job, then u have experienced 100 ways or 100 mistakes u hav done in interviews. if u concentrate on those mistakes then definitely hundred n first interview (101) will b a success. who knows u might land at better position than the people who hav moved up in life. suicidal tendencies are due to lack of courage and it is against humanitarian. Human beings hav the ability to conquer the world , not any other species have this ability to do so... think ones again...!!

Rebecca Mubvakure says 852 days ago

killing your self is never the answer. I understand how ou feel, but you cant stop unitll you know you have givin it everything you got! never give up, start doing mock interviews, do an internship or volunteer work for expirence, god has a plan for you, somtimes things seem to be the worst befor they get better! but i promise it will get better! remember my 4 year old tells me we never give up mommy, right? no we never give up

Totally Awsum says 851 days ago

wtf NO is not just because your going through hard times doesnt meant that you should try and kill self. also all that hard work and money would be wasted. ya the economy SUCK within this world but thats another story. i think the best think to do is to wait cuz god will pull you thru the your pain and rough times. :)

Seekyah says 845 days ago

suicide is not a solution for your problem, the best things to do is to pray ask holy spirit a wisdom after that everything gonna be okey. coz once you get kill your self your soul well still find not a job but peace in your eternal life all things get more mesirable always remember that all the things in this world is only a temporary place for us this is a training ground molding you to become a better person have faith and believe in your self, that GOD never fail to his children he will give you executive position in your time in heaven...

Charisse says 843 days ago

At this point in time, when we are experiencing economic crisis, even if we were able to obtain a college degree in the most prestigous school we shouldn't choose a job which will fit the course we finished. A lot of opportunities are scattered here, sometimes we are just closed minded and we only think of what we want and not what we need. During this days what we want is not important, what's important is what we need, how we will be able to survive in our daily needs. Suicide is not the solution to our problems. For one reason, GOD created us and gave us life and only He can took it away from us. Also, there's a lot of things that we can do for us to improve our ways of living, but committing suicide is not one of them!

Ritzel says 843 days ago

don't worry, you're not alone... my brother also like that, we helped him before getting in a job, but he's really stubborn that he been kicked out lately from the job, now he's back being jobless... just wait for the right moment, don't be afraid to grab any opportunity that might comes.

DarkSarabande says 835 days ago

I have a Bachelor's degree, and I still haven't found a job. It doesn't want to make me off myself, though...I'll just keep trying.

Anuradha says 835 days ago

NO, actually suicide is not a solution at all. problems are jst a part of life and in most of the cases created by our hopes. We hope somthing n if it is not fulfilled then it become our problem. Every problem have solution. Some problem are totally irrelevent. I am pursuing MBA, in 4th sem,placement pressure is jst above my head all the time, m always busy in searching job everywhere. But I simply know one thing I am educated,having knowledge, always ready to learn new things,willing to do work and always missing my family. so I cant even think of it(suicide) because I want to prove myself in front of whole world, I want to show my face to the whole world not my back..
so hope for the best and all the best to all.

Ravali says 819 days ago

life is too short and do u think for this silly reason of unemployment kill us? hey don't worry iam also in the same route of unemployment and i didnt ever got that plan of suicide,though my family and friends hate me about not getting any job!! be brave some day you will be renown and get ur dream job.

Mindofkeys says 819 days ago

Suicide is not the answer. Until you get a job, you can work on strategic methods to get a job. You may not get the job you want but something is better than nothing. You may even have to work a day here and day there. First impressions are very important. Our facial expressions and body language does a lot of talking and we are not even aware of it. I have to check my facial expressions all the time. Working on checking your facial expressions and training your body and face to say what you want it to say. Actors do this all this all the time before an audition. Also wearing the right colors can assist you in setting the scene for what you want to accomplish. Nothing is full proof but there is always room for improvement. Going to school is a job as well and we as a community should always be constantly seeking knowledge and information from other sources as well as each other. As I hear the kids say "hit me up".

Old-fashioned Guy says 819 days ago

Then what? Your dead and gone, what did that really solve? Sure it is okay to think of it but just make sure that you put the thought out of your head as quickly as it came. Just think of all those left behind that this will impact for the reat of their lives. Suicide is one mistake that can't be undone. Hang in there....

off course not, suicide isn't the way to solve the problem, we must keep trying, i have heard someone say this "a winner is someone who lose but never give up, he keep trying and trying until he get what he wants." ^^

Western Supply says 799 days ago

answer: bankcruptcy is actually is more like it..
3 things you can do, collect unemployment, relax. wait a little while before you look for a job,
second, enjoy your little time off, maybe visit a family member?, third, well.. after couple of weeks
of relaxation and boredom, go out there and start looking for a job.. one word: goodluck!

Bruno Rodrigues says 794 days ago

If you have family, ask them the same question. Or think about finding someone you care about that may be experiencing tough times hanging from their ceiling. Suicide isn't an answer, it's another problem.

Sweetie says 766 days ago

WOW THIS IS A VERY GOOD TOPIC....hmmmm self-kill? definetely not the answer...i think when people self kill i feel somewhere they either 4got good teachings on how 2 deal with certain issues or either it wasnt brought up what and how 2 get out of certain issues...IN LIFE WE MUST REALIZE THINGS GET WORSE B4 IT GETS BETTER, BUT IF U R RAISED IN A HOUSEHOLD THAT EVERYTHING MUST FALL IN LINE OR B PERFECT U R SETTING YOURSELF OR YOUR FAMILY UP 4 DESTRUCTION..LIFE 2 ME IS LIKE A GAME U WIN SOME ...U LOSE BUT THE OUTCOME OF THE SITUATION IS UP 2 U...BUT SUICIDAL IS NOT THE ANSWER..I FEEL SUICIDAL IS SELFISHNESS BECAUSE DOING THIS THAT PERSON HAS SAID I DON'T CARE ABOUT HOW OTHER PEOPLE R FEELING I JUST CARE BOUT ME...HMMMMM?

Jasper says 405 days ago

NO!!! I repeat, NO. just keep goin', eventually you'll find a job. it hurts alot of people when people kill themselves. just leave it in God's hands, he's got a reason and a timing for everything if you believe, that is.

A MOMENT WITH JESUS says 405 days ago

Suicide is the answer to death.And it is a sin against God.Taking the life you never created.Don't even think of it and if you do,quickly go and repent asking for forgiveness promptly.

SomethingClever says 405 days ago

It's never healthy to think about suicide. To be healthy is to look out for one's body and mind and to keep them in good shape and in good working order. Suicide is the opposite of everything that health opposes.

Suicide is associated with depression. Depression can be normal when your life isn't going as you planned or expected. Just keep on plugging away and you'll get through this. I shall pray for you

if u cant get a job u make one for yourself

Leonard Parker says 389 days ago

Never! Ever! Never ever, ever is suicide a solution to anything. If your unemployment you could google a whole host of solutions to this none problem. I'm being real.

There is whole host of people with stories just like you and me who where we at where we all get some times and found away to get through it or thought of some idea. It don't take much just a moment of opportunity or someone telling you to go some where and do some thing.

Never give! Your a human being and can THINK of a solution because their is one and it isn't suicide.

Look beyond the needy and you will realize that you are still lucky, you had graduate from school but those you cant afford it was not... just keep on going 0 is not the end of the counting nor 100. or even negative one.. make your self more valuable not just for your self but also to other people.... unenployment is not the reason why you are living its just a part of life,it never deserve for your live to be wasted.

suicide is definitely not the answer to any question. life goes on and as time passes opportunities will open to you, its just a matter of when. Remember you can always make the best of anything that comes your way. Take this time to make improvements and when the time comes, you will be stronger.
