“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
― Marilyn Monroe

Repent and be Forgiven

A teenager takes his or her own life to escape adolescent pressures.

Each year tens of thousands of teenagers in the United States alone attempt to take their own life. The Bible gives a fundamental reason why many are in such a state of despair. It explains that we live in “critical times hard to deal with.” People feel the pressures of life with great intensity. (2 Timothy
3:1; Ecclesiastes 7:7) When a person is overwhelmed by life’s anxieties, he may contemplate suicide as a means to escape pain. I believe all sins are forgivable if someone is truly repentent.

    Good argument, but what goes through a person's mind before committing this act? What happens in the person's life to bring on the thought? Is there any other way for them to get away from it?

    I agree with you, Morgan. If a person is in that much pain that they took their own life then they deserve forgiveness. It is not an unforgivable sin, even though some think otherwise.
