I don't think suicide is all that bad if somebody has a really painful terminal disease or something and doesn't want to live with the suffering, but if it's just a cop-out to your problems there are better ways to handle it. If I needed to just escape my whole life, I'd move to another country and try to start over with a new identity. That would actually be pretty exciting, plus in case you regret your decision and want to go back, you can.
