I mean obviosly it doesnt praise it, but what happens tro your soul after you commit suicide? Can you still go to heaven if you like ask for forgiveness before hand or what?
 
the Bible does not specifically address suicide, probably for a very good reason. but in the ten commandments, it says not to murder, which suicide is.
 
If you are a Christian then you have decided to give your life over to God which means it is not yours for the taking. This website has a great answer to your question and I hope you read it! http://www.bible.com/bibleanswers_result.php?id=228
I will be praying for you and for whatever brought you to ask this question. And I beg you please don't take your life! Try calling hot lines, talk to anyone who can help like counselors, parents, a friend's parents, you can even talk to me. I know it's weird to offer myself, but if you don't know who to talk to I just want you to know you're not alone. I would be honored to help and my mom is also great with advice, the Bible, and faith if you need someone.
 
Suicide in the old testament was a sin

suicide in the new testament is a sin, all sin but one are able to be forgiven

the one sin that cannot be forgiven is unbelief in jesus as shiloh (imanuel= god with men)
homo's can be forgiven
adulters can be forgiven
even suicide can be forgiven
but we dont tell people that ----we dont want to encourage suicide
we want to encourage life---

Suicide is murder

Murderers (i.e. sinners) can go to heaven, if they repent and ask forgiveness.
AFTER the event - God will not grant indulgences to commit a future sin.
This is the very reason that Luther nailed his thesis to the church door.

Thou shall not kill. Killing yourself.
There are some individuals who have mental illnesses that really just push them to that point, its really sad. If you ask for forgiveness beforehand, you are not honest with your request
