[quote]As many as three quarters of a million young people in the UK may feel that they have nothing to live for, a study for the Prince's Trust charity claims.
The trust says almost a third of long-term unemployed young people have contemplated taking their own lives.
Urgent action must be taken to prevent the young jobless becoming the young hopeless, it says.
The government commented that it was doing "everything possible" to help young people find work.
Last month, figures from the Office for National Statistics showed the UK unemployment rate had fallen to its lowest level since 2009, with the number of people out of work falling by 99,000 to 2.39 million in the three months to October.[/quote]
I wouldn't consider suicide but I consider myself one of those youngsters (16-25), some people may have saw what I posted in Tartan 118's thread about it.
What do you think?

[quote]I never had a relationship so seeing people I went to school with having kids and such I just feel like I have failed as a man and a human being.
I have no job, no gf, no kids and I feel like I have gone no where since high school, it's incredibly depressing.[/quote]

I don't feel like this. I used to contemplate suicide when I had depression but I got over that and love my life now.

Ha ha ha lol

#young. Really?
-
Well your lucky your feeling that now, not while your still in school :(

They live in the UK, where they have no rights. This is to be expected.

It's because England is gloomy.

"Oh no Ima Japanese and I had a bad day, I think ima kill myself"

Definitely been feeling this way over the past few years. I'm in the second year of my degree and doubting if it's the thing I actually want to do with my life. I basically live alone with no friends and family and it is seriously starting to take its toll on me.

Don't worry Lonepaul, you still have something to live for. You can live for the young girls.

It's terrible that there are so many people who literally have nothing to get them up in the morning, I'd be in the same boat if I wasn't doing the degree I am right now. Hopefully the mongoloids in charge will get their heads out of their arses and deal with this problem before it gets any worse. Or, they can do nothing and when they retire into homes and all that the current younger generation are going to take some bureaucratic revenge.

Well England is mostly dull and stressful, this number doesnt surprise me.

Edited by Progo: 1/2/2014 3:40:12 PMWell, that's what happens when you live on a cloudy rock for most of your life (not bashing it though, I'm Welsh by descent and I think it's a very pretty cloudy rock lol). See the above chart, [u]whether you are a fan of it or not, it is true that religion has the psychological function of providing purpose and motivation.[/u] Countries with high religiosity, especially Christianity and Islam, often have much lower suicide rates than countries with a less dedicated population.

Well it is a shit hole, I'm not surprised.

Cuz they live in such a shitty country.

I find it hard to believe that they have absolutely nothing to live for. Was this survey done in emotown?

The problem with people today (especially young people) is that we're totally obsessed with the idea that we have to amount to something. We go to the cinema and we see all these people doing fantastic things with their lives acting in films, we turn on the radio and we hear all these people doing fantastic things with their lives making music, we look around us in the street and we see men wearing nice suits and nice shoes and women wearing expensive dresses with matching hats and handbags, we turn on the TV and we see all these people walking up and down catwalks with big smiles getting page-1 headlines; we see all these people 'doing something of worth' with their lives and then we contrast that with our own lives and if we do not see the things we see in others whom we admire, we think we are worthless because we don't have them. This is the problem, we put the worth in the things and not in the person; it's just an advanced form of materialism really. If we don't amount to something, if we don't have a nice house, a decent paying job, lots of friends and a wife and kids, our lives are completely worthless and we may as well kill ourselves. So some people do. It's not the way we should be thinking and it's destroying us.

Besides, you'll probably have more money when alone.

[quote]no gf[/quote]No, but you sure as hell have been banging underage girls. A prison sentence is the only thing you have going for you.

My theory is the addiction to the Internet is largely to blame. When you see a group at a table, and all of them are eyes down on mobile devices, rather than talking. When people spend their weekends shut in playing games or looking at websites, they aren't interacting.

Aren't you attracted to underage girls?
