People who are assessed as "good" and "bad" die from a very young age up to a very old age. Remember however that "goodness" and "badness" is only a judgement made by the observer. As far as why a person would take their own life, it is as varied as people themselves. Their stories are unique and so is the reason they decided it was the best solution for them. For some it's fear of a consequence, or that a difficult situation will never get better. For some it is a punishment to those they feel treated them badly and will "regret it when I'm gone". Others are punishing themselves for something they have been unable to forgive themselves for. And still others feel that as a result of an illness or other challenge, that they are a burden to those who care about them. These are just a few examples of why some people choose suicide. Often times, a severe mental illness such as depression, bi-polar or schizophrenia is a factor as well. What all these people have in common however, is a degree of pain and suffering they feel unable to bear any longer. I am sorry to hear about your friends. If you are feeling distressed, speak to a trusted family member, teacher, pastor or counsellor about your feelings. I hope this helps.

Its just a sayings to try and explain and make sense of the death of a young person

No, it's just a saying some use to justify the early death of a bad 'un,,,

Ian Brady doesn't seem to ever die, despite his wretched mental and physical state, as if the devil himself is keeping him going.

Notice how two were good and two were bad?

It is not true that only the good die young.

But if you are too good it would help you to become bad and if you are too bad it would help you to become good.

That's what I think.

i've had 4 m8s that have died. all b4 they were 24, 2 died by suicide, but 2 of them were ruthless they would sell there own gran literally to get what they want, and in a horrible car crash they both died with 1 of there gf's. but the 2 that killed there selves wouldn't harm a fly, and it makes me wonder why they did it.i love them so bad.but what woz so bad that the only thought the only way out was death?
