It depends on the culture -- suicide is definitely not high-status among Catholics. (They're no longer like “if you kill yourself you'll go to hell no matter what” and they no longer refuse to celebrate funerals for people who committed suicide, so it used to be even worse.)
On this side of Europe (Eastern Orthodox Christians) they still do.
For some definitions of 'they'.
Yeah, I know, I just decided not to make that specification. It sounded nice and smooth (albeit semantically wrong) without it.
"The unforgivable sin of despair", I've heard it called.
