I mean when I was younger I use to think it was normal to jump off the highest building you could find to commit suicide after losing everything in the stock market. I think I saw it in a movie or on TV somewhere. Some guy jumped off and killed himself after losing everything. I thought that was just standard practice in this business. Jesse Livermore killed himself too. $730,000.00 for a 20 year old is a lot of money unless you come from wealth. Damn if I had that 20 year old's hairline at 20 I would kill myself too. Yikes!. Hahahaha just kidding, about the suicide part. If only his parents made him tough enough to withstand not only a loss of $20,000 but a loss of a whopping $730,000.00 a little more then 30 times his original amount. I think they should at least have a test to make sure you understand how options work due to the leverage involved other then just a disclaimer. The disclaimer protects the broker but what about the rookie trader? All I remember getting was confetti, almost like I won some sort of prize.
Kids today, don't need that much to commit suicide, go for a job interview don't get it, then OMG suicide, they brought up stupid thinking they'll always win and life is easy and just can't handle the truth. My younger kids aren't brought up this way and there good, my oldest I wasn't aware of till she was 18 and sadly damage done and can't be undone, 4 attempts and 2 of her mates have suicided this year, funeral or baby really is 50/50 at this stage.
Oof I know that younger people use the phrase "I'm going to kill myself really loosely" and it makes me cringe every single time, because everytime I've said it I meant it. It stopped me from getting help. Then there's 13 reasons why which romanticizes suicide like it's some sort of great escape from pain. I struggled with Suicidal ideation so losing it all wouldn't even begin to hurt that much and considering how much I was hurting before it only adds salt to the wounds. When you're younger you don't know effects or the magnitude of your actions and how they inflict upon others or society in general. I've called the local suicide hotline more times then I can remember. No shame, no guilt, suffering, you know emotions I was already feeling. They're not that strong anymore. Hell, I have the confidence now talk about this. Even to tell my mom but I'm scared she'd have a heart attack herself, if and when she finds out everything in detail. Which I'll try to shield her from while I'm living, for somethings are better kept in therapy.
How old are you ?? I don't get the suicide, never had those thoughts, I've had to literally fight hard to stay alive I guess which is likely why, doesn't mean I don't take risks and enjoy them, but I always plan to come back, even thought maybe 1 day I won't. 1 day, when my health is so poor and I have to rely on others which is ruining there life, then it's OFF switch time, after I've watched Top Gun 2 ofcourse.
lots of people try suicide but fail. I'm a suicidal failure, I've got to get some help I have suicidal tendencies but I can't kill myself I'm tired of this way of life, my patience has expried I'm barely just 20 but my life I will retire I went down to a rifle store, I bought myself a gun I point it at my head but I couldn't get the job done I'm a suicidal failure, I've got to get some help I have suicidal tendencies but I can't kill myself I took all my mother's sleeping pills I jumped off a freeway bridge I drank three kinds of poison And drove my car off a ridge I beat myself with a bat Put a noose around my head I overdosed on heroin But I'm still not dead
