Suicide is a violation of the Fifth Commandment because it is a serious and grievous sin to kill oneself. We are commanded to respect our lives, therefore, we must not take our our own lives. Some individuals kill themselves because of loneliness and despair as shown in my comic. The girl decided to take her own life because she was being bullied and realized that killing herself was the only option to end her suffering. In this case, she was tempted to commit suicide because she was sad. But there could have been other options for he to take without killing herself and sinning at the same time. Even though it was evident that the girl lacked love and respect from others, it was still a mortal and serious sin to kill herself. She definitely violated the Fifth Commandment. She felt a sense of emptiness, but she did not seek God's love which would have taught her the true meaning of her life.
