A common misconception in suicide victims' families, is the view from the person who has committed(the view before hand of course). Most of the time, the person who has suicidal thoughts sees themselves as alone, worthless, guilty, or helpless. Suicide is not the answer in reality, but when someone is set on committing, there is no stopping them; the misconception is that everything would be better without that person. When in reality, much pain and heartache will be caused.
Now, the common misconception from other people is that the person who committed was weak. I do not believe this in any way shape or form, so it aggravates me to know that many people do.
When someone commits suicide, they have become substance to bullies, thoughts and influences. No less.
The third most common misconception about suicide is that whoever claims and admits that they are going to commit is lying, or looking for attention. These days, it is mostly youth who decide that this is the reason for suicidal mentions, thoughts or actions. This could lead to more inconvenience and sometimes leading more teens and young adults to suicide attempts.
