How normal are suicidal thoughts? Since I've been a teenager, about once a week I'll wish that I were dead. That a samurai would decapitate me or some other exotic method. Is this normal?

I think about killing myself or hurting something or someone at least every two days. I often think it's unhealthy but I'm sure I wont act on it so I don't see a reason in getting professional help.
For example:
When I'm outdoors Ill look at a car and wonder what its like to jump in front of it
Ill think about hopping off a really high building
Someone coming out of the bush, robbing me and then stabbing me to death or shooting me in the head.
Sometimes I think about throwing my pets at the wall or snapping their neck.
Obviously I would never do these things. I love my animals and thinking about harming them when Im not in my "death trance" makes me cringe. But whatever.

I don't know. For me I kinda tired of living you know. I been doing the same thing over and over. wake up, breakfast, work, eat, work, goes home, eat, fap, sleep its kinda boring. And I have those tired feelling that wouldn't go away .

That's actually a very low frequency for the average totally normal teenager.

This. Also all these thoughts are completely normal. Even if you have then frequently. There's a name for it, but I can't remember what it is. Anyway, there's nothing wrong with thinking like this, it's actually healthy, meaning you have a lot of self control and are thinking about the actions you take and the ones you don't.
>tl;dr: you're a good person for thinking these thoughts
