>>11195751>Why doesn't everybody kill themselves?Because everyone has different reasons to not kill themselves.
>is it because it's irrational, and if it is irrational, in what circumstances does it become rational?Most times it is irrational, but there are a few times it can be seen as rational. Most classic rational case is when someone has a refractory terminal-illness and wishes to end their life on their terms, not to waste away from said illness horrifically. In this case, it helps prevent needless unavoidable additional-suffering as well as give the spiritual satisfaction for the dying that in the face of impending terrifying death they still have some form of control and personal identity in the matter. Another classic example is when suicide is done to save the lives of another or others (soldier jumping on a grenade/holding the line) as well as to make an inevitable hopeless situation have some sort of beneficial purpose (Google "Alexander Prokhorenko")
>why after they have failed test or schoolyear students don't kill themselves, since they wasted the opportunity to be the best or achieve the most?...OK, this really isn't a dialectic about suicide: you're just hoping someone here will give you a convincing argument to or not to kill yourself because you're going through some things. Go see your school's psychologist - you need professional help and need to make a real effort exhausting all your options before you kill yourself. That is something said I'd expect only a sheltered young-person would think... No offense.
