Relating to the First Amendment of the United States’ Constitution, every American individual has the freedom to express themselves to any circumstance they see fit. Despite what the Constitution states, several schools throughout the United States have put a halt to the freedom of choice, freedom of expression, and the ending of a child’s suffering.

Every individual has experienced a rough day or rough week, but can they imagine spending month after month going through a rough patch? Someone’s life is a continuous disappointment with seemingly no way out of the never-ending despair. In an article entitled, “Is suicide morally acceptable,” there are several different viewpoints on whether suicide is permissible or not and why. Within this article, Johann Hari claims, “Individuals forced to choose between unbearable pain and death should not be condemned for choosing death” (qtd. in “Is Suicide Morally” 1). What this is describing is that people that are going through constant tough times to the point that they are dealing with pains that are unimaginable should have the freedom to choose whether they would like to live or not.

They can however wear this piece of clothing anytime they wish during their summer vacation because they do not have any guidelines to follow.

In an article entitled “Suicide,” it explains the laws on suicide in America. The author claims, “Under modern American law, suicide is no longer a crime” (2). What this is describing is that modern America as realized that people are not always content with the life they are living. With individuals not happy with their life, they should not be charged with or considered different for ending their life and suffering. They should have the freedom to show people what they believe is a rough life. When someone successfully commits suicide, the attention of tens to hundreds of people will be set on them. These by-standers can now understand fully how much suffering this person was going through. Within a similar article entitled “Whether suicide can be permissible,” the author discusses how the freedom of expression is represented in the form of suicide. The author claims, “Jean Paul
