No, I would not do anything so cowardly and immature as to kill myself just to get someone's attention. I would try and find out exactly why they turned their back/ignored me and try to mend fences. Your eternal fate would be to be called a stupid jerk for the rest of the lives of the people who know you.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
