I BEGIN WITH THE DEFINITION OF SUICIDE
We call Suicide to that action for which a person puts an end to her own life. We classify it as self-destructing behavior because that action can lead directly to the death or it can be an intent but a lethal intention always exists in its same essence.
SELF-DESTRUCTING BEHAVIORS IN THE HUMAN BEING
The human being continually carries out self-destructing actions as for example to smoke, to drink in excess, to practice sports of risk but the intention habitually is not the one of putting an end to the own life but experiencing certain pleasure.
When a person has a suicide intention they don't look for the delight but putting an end to the suffering because her tunnel vision doesn't allow to see other possible exits.
The good known suicidal jargon is the following one:
* Accomplished suicide: Self-destructing behavior and autoinfringida that it puts an end to the person's death that carries out it.
* Frustrated suicide: Suicide that doesn't end up being consummated because an accidental one (something with what the fellow didn't count) it interrupts it.
* Suicide intent: I damage autoinfringido with different degree of intention of dying and of lesions.
* Idea: It averages of confronting the problems that he/she has each person.
* I gestate he/she: He/she threatens facts on a self-destructing behavior that will be carried out. It is usually loaded with symbolisms.
* He/she threatens he/she: The same thing that the previous one but with words.
* Equivalent suicides: They are the automutilations that a person can be made.
* Collective suicide: The self-destructing behavior carries out it at the same time several people. In this type of suicides the normal thing is that a person of the group is the inductora and the rest the clerks.
* Rational suicide: A person that after a long illness for example with different capacities, it reaches the conclusion that the best thing that can make it is to commit suicide*.
