is not worth it after a certain point!!!

I'd say that would depend upon your reason for ending it all. Revenge?
"I'll show them all"? "They'll be sorry when I'm dead"? Consider the
guilt many people feel when a loved once commits suicide, and spare THEM
the pain (however great your own may be).

If someone is planning suicide for revenge, then the guilt and pain
is *exactly* what they want, so asking them to consider it probably
won't be much of a deterrent. In that case, I'd ask them to consider
the fact that while they might cause pain to the people who hurt
them, they're not going to be around to enjoy it, so what's the point?

However, there was nothing in kraut's post that made me think he was
out for revenge.
