It happened five years ago.I followed with my parents and their friends to a beach for holiday.At first,we enjoyed ourselves.We ate a lot of seafood and joined in some parties in the evernings.Of course,swimming was the main activitive,so we almost swam everyday.

That day,we went swimming as same as usual.When we just went to into water,I found one thing was getting closer to me.I felt very strange,then wanted to know what was up.Soon I saw that it seemed to be a person,but he didn't breath out of water.I screamed to my parents at once,and I only remembered when I woke up,I still felt terrible.It was said that the person had bead for several weeks.He died with his girlfriend in order to prove their real love.

From that on,I haven't been to beach again.Because I see a beach,it will cause that terrible memory.

Do you believe in ghost ?
In my opinion I think I don't believe in the ghost. In the meaning of the ghost, in my opinion I think it is some kind of phenomenon that can not prove in scientific method. The ghost is different from the soul. The soul is the form of human being after dead. The souls will com out of the body after you stop breathing (I mean you die). In the scientific method we can explain the meaning of the soul in the way of the energies that exist in the world. You don't know where the soul is. Because nobody knows what's the soul look like? Or how does the soul know itself that it's a dead guy? Except you kill yourself and find the answer if you really want to know what it is.

I guess most people like Corey think committing suicide is stupid likely because it is easily viewed as an escape for weakers who simply experienced something unhappy. Well, if that's the case, let's see it as an irresponsible choice that he/she took. But I guess they are very young and their parents tried to separate one from another, so that's what happened.

I repeat to you that they did if they just experienced something unhappy which was only a small thing in their life. So do you think they are quite responsible to do so?

What really irritates me is the way our society treats suicide. People who commit suicide are being viewed as "crazy" "stupid" and "bad". Many religions consider suicide to be the greatest sin, so people who commit suicide don't even get to be buried in a nice cemetery. Few people have a compassion for those who committed suicide. It makes me so angry! People who commit suicide are not crazy (OK, maybe they are, in a way. But aren't we all crazy, in a way?), they are just poor, unfortunate people. Think about the life a person must have had, to make him commit suicide! That person should have felt very unloved, very lonely, very worthless. It's a pity that there are so many people in our society who feel that way. I ought to admit that sometimes I think about suicide too. When I'm driving a car, I sometimes think "oh, just push harder on the gas pedal, just drive right into this truck. What a nice way to die that would be, with the music out loud and the wind blowing my hair..." But I never have the courage. Sometimes I feel that my life is so worthless, that there's nobody who would care if I'd die, why should I live, then? Do you think I'm crazy? I believe that many people have those moments, when they just feel sick of everything and want to end this once and for all. It's just that most of them won't admit it. I realized something about myself. That I don't really want to die, that I want a "revenge". I want to "revenge" those people who weren't nice to me, to "revenge" life itself for not being nice to me, to "revenge" this world for making me feel so alone sometimes. But the fact is, that I won't "revenge" them by killing myself. I'll only revenge myself. This thought keeps me alive through the tough moments of life.

To the girl who saw the dead man on the beach--I understand you. I used to live in a country with lots of terrorist attacks, lots of bombings. Even though I myself never got the chance to see an attack (lucky for me!), I still cannot stand the sound of an ambulance. Whenever I hear the siren, I see all those dead people, with all this blood, my head starts to spin and I feel that I'm going to faint. You probably should get over it by going to the beach again. Start by going with a friend, and standing about 100 meters away from the water, just for a few minutes. Then gradually increase the duration of your stay and decrease your distance from the water, until you can swim again. Good luck!
