Suicide because of bullying is more unacceptable than bullying itself.

My dear opponent, I just want to remind you that our topic should focus more on "SUICIDE BECAUSE OF BULLYING" not suicide itself. You mentioned many things in your second paragraph (you were able to mention few things about factors and "encourage") but those OTHER points (where you mentioned PITY and many more), you were not able to expand and support your argument concerning our debate topic. Moving on, According to you, no matter how bad one's life is he should not take it (bullying). How sure are you that all of those "victims" can manage to be strong? Research proves that even adults have hard time in defending themselves against bullying. Doesn't that show how bullying already crossed the line and how more unacceptable it is even for older people? I mean, in the state of the world we are living in, BULLYING is everywhere, in the streets, in school, in offices of large and small companies and even at home, this is very visible around us and even to anyone who is reading this cannot deny that point. You mentioned this, "The point I am trying to make is that society focuses too much on bullying and not enough on suicide itself"." EXACTLY, because society thinks BULLYING is more unacceptable. You continued, "Resulting in a giving suicide a positive look. It makes suicide seem almost alluring. If you kill yourself, all the pain will go away"" HOW EFFECTIVE IS THAT POINT? HAVE YOU SHOWN ON THAT?? Just because society prioritizes BULLYING instead of "suicide because of bullying" doesn't mean it gives suicide a positive look, right? I mean, if you have a disease and you focus too much on the reasons of your disease not on the disease itself, do you give the disease a POSITIVE look? OF COURSE NOT! You may ask, "Why would I focus on the reasons of my disease?" Well, to avoid having the same disease by knowing and avoiding its factors. In your analogy, " We should focus on the problem at hand, not just one of the causes. If there were a disease, you would try to treat to the disease itself, not the symptoms, right?" You were trying to say that the disease is the SUICIDE and the symptom is BULLYING. YOU KNOW SYMPTOMS ARE NOT THE CAUSES OF A DISEASE RIGHT? I mean, if you have a fever, a symptom for DENGUE, does that mean the fever is a cause for Dengue? I know SUICIDE because of bullying is a BIG PROBLEM but you're wrong, the problem at hand is not that, it is BULLYING. The world's major problem right now is BULLYING wherein kids tend to push themselves to give up or fight back, this is very evident everywhere, just like what I mentioned in my 4th paragraph. Of course someone or something can PUSH you to do something. When you're tired and sleepy and you don't want to study, yet you still PUSH yourself to study because of your exams your school implemented, doesn't it show that VICTIMS ARE BEING FORCED to do things they think they can but deep inside them, they don't want to. RELATING TO "SUICIDE BECAUSE OF BULLYING" Suicide in that case is not a CHOICE it is an EFFECT. Why would somebody commit suicide if he/she is not bullied? Of course victims wanted to escape their own misery, others just commit suicide, but why? IT IS BECAUSE OF THE "MISERY", it is because of bullying. HOW DOES ONE PERSON BENEFIT FROM SUICIDE? Is it because he/she can escape this cruel world? To wrap up, it is very hard to escape bullying. ALL OF US HAVE OUR OWN CHOICE and OUR OWN DECISIONS, but we won't come to think of something like that if it is not BECAUSE OF SOMETHING. Suicide is a choice, but SUICIDE BECAUSE OF BULLYING is not a CHOICE, it is an EFFECT. You my friend, if you are not bullied, would you kill yourself?
