40) I've had depression for 12 years (and counting) and it's only just now that things are looking up. Thanks to My Chemical Romance. The one reason I can think of to not kill myself at the moment (and there have been many times in the past when I have tried) is my family. They are a tremendous support to me and when I think of the heartache it would cause them it stops me in my tracks. I've got so much to live for and if I (like you) can help just one person on the road to recovery from this crippling illness that will be all worthwhile. Melanie, 35 yrs old, UK

You have one life so stay here and live it your best, there are people that care more about you then anything else. dont let them down. shayna, 13 yrs old, TN.

47) if you kill yourself, you never get the chance to see the outcome of your life. you don't get to know if you were going to be rich; have a family; find a great job, or anything else that people look forward to in life. god gives us life and it should be respected and handled with care. there isn't a reason in the world to take away a personal gift from god.

Suicide is SELFISH. - Laura

55) If you kill yourself you are missing out on what was in store for your future. You are leving behind new friends you have not yet made and that new CD you were dying to get that didnt come out yet. All of the bad in your life comes with some good and by ending it your leaving the bad as well as the good. - Brick Rodgers

60) You should never think of killing yourself. if u do, think of all the people who have been there for you, encouraged you, and supported you. killing yourself would let them all down. also think of that one person you were there for to listen one day and how much that meant to them. do you really want to put your family and friends through all that pain because you felt your life was that bad that you couldnt take it. just think of all the people whose life is so much worse... - Amanda Kennedy, 15 yrs old

61) Killing yourself means that you don't love yourself. it never means no one else loves you. - Krishna Patel, 15 years old. Albany, GA

62) Because if you kill yourself, you were solely thinking about yourself and how much pain you were in at that moment, but you weren't thinking about how much I adore you and how much pain I would be in with you gone. if you kill yourself, my only hope of survival would be gone. - Vivian, 15 yrs old, Los Angeles, CA.

63) If you kill yourself, your dog will get really lonely =] - Fabi, 14 yrs old, Texas, United States

64)my reason is because i look forward to my future. i look forward to the new challenges of my life. i have a great bf, and great sister. i still deal with abandonment issues cause my mom left me and hasnt been there for me. but i do have my dad so i think of the positive things of my life. - Catherine, 16yrs old, Washington

66) Think of a time, when you didn't feel so lonely, or hurt. Or worthless. Think of when you used to be happy, and unstoppable. Think of that one time when someone told you that they loved you, or when they simply smiled at you. And that alone, is your goal and your reason to keep on living. - Karina L., New York, NY, USA

Here is what the owner of the site [look above] wrote:

We are an MCR based Suicide Prevention site. It was started because of a MCR chatboard and once our goal is accomplished, it will be hard for anyone to every put suicide and MCR in the same sentence. We are putting together a suicide prevention book that is based on the concept of group therapy. People giving their reasons not to do it. Telling their stories of self harm or stories of what it's like to have friends or family members commit suicide. People giving words of support. etc.. Basically we want to the reader to know they are not alone and give them the reasons that they should stay alive. And because it was started from an MCR fan chatboard, it is being dedicated to the guys in MCR. They have worked hard to save lives. They have shared personal stories about themselves, to let people know they aren't alone. I feel we are just continuing what they have started. And the best part, we already have one publisher who will publish it and it isn't even finished. So as I said, once we are finished, no one will be able to connect MCR and suicide again. Hopefully some of these people who thought MCR was nothing more than a dark emo band that supports suicide will realize that they were wrong, and finally see what their message really is.

CONCERNING MIKEY WAY:
Some time during the first days of July 2007, a rumor erupted about Michael James Way, younger brother of My Chemical Romance's lead singer Gerard Way, was leaving the band. Fear not, fellow Mikey lovers, he is NOT leaving. He was just married to Alicia Simmons, and therefore is not playing with MCR for right now. He will be back though. If he WAS leaving the band [which he isn't] My Chemical Romance would have mentioned it in an interview or on their MySpace page.

CONCERNING GERARD WAY:
My Chemical Romance's lead singer, Gerard Way, recently declared his unengagement in an interview. He is doing well. In a show, he held up the hand with his ringless finger. In 'Mama,' he cried extra long at the end. Gerard had said, "Oh, I'm so sad. To Hell I am." The singer had also said, "I'm going to wash this girl right out of my hair!" Clearly, this unengagement was for the better.
