You couldn't get me far enough away from that shit.

No way I want to live forever.

So-called immortality in the context you are using it means freedom from biological limitations. You could live forever in theory - as long as you don't get run over by a train or some anti-immortality activist murders you. Certainly there wouldn't be anything stopping you from terminating your own life.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Pretty much this. It would mean your body won't break down. It doesn't mean you can't be killed, or kill yourself. I see no issue, except with overpopulation. Humans are fast breeders, after all.

ideally i would like to die around 30 or 40, id hate to get super old and die slowly like that... but it would suck to not die naturally because imagine if you went to kill yourself, but then you survived and became paralyzed for life and unable to die? and if nobody killed you it would be Possibly an eternal existence in stasis, closest thing to a real eternal hell!

We will cure aging but may never cure stupid. If dieing is important to you, get it right!

Haha, what's up with these kids who think dying at 30 the latest is a great idea. People seriously lack imagination what to do with their lives. I'd need ten lives to do all the shit I'd like to do.

Too late for me, I've already lost the ones I wanted to grow old with.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
