Suicide

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

Suicide is when someone kills himself or herself. People say that someone "commits suicide". We use the word commits because suicide is a crime in some places, as well as a terrible sin in many religions. People who are thinking of suicide should see their doctor, or a doctor at a hospital, immediately, even if it is just to talk. Most people who study medicine say that suicide is a medical emergency. Suicide is often thought to be due to mental instability caused by past life difficulties, social problems, etc.
