Suicide Threats

As far as the moderators go, we don't know any more information concerning how to reach members than you do. You can click on their names and see if they have allowed for private messages, and you can try sending one of those. Beyond that, I can't think of a way you could contact them.

it's horrible not knowing ... a girl on this site i talked to killed herself, luckily i talked 2 her sister too, so i found out that way, but otherwise i may not know even now. it's the thing with this site, and the internet. it's another world that we can log in and out of. there's no way to know x

Damn straight, Bob.

I've had my rant on this already so I'll just sit back and watch the fireworks in the cutting forum.

I would just like to say that most of these people do it for attention.

That having been said, if people were really going to commit suicide they wouldnt announce it on a forum like this, they would just do it.

The people who are serious about it will either tell their friends or family because their thoughts are scaring themselves and they want to be stopped, or they will kill themselves without telling anyone because they dont want to be stopped or talked out of it.

The people who announce it here just want to feel like they would be missed and that they are wanted.

i agree.. most people would do it for attention..

I also agree to the fact that the majority of it is attention.

I really stopped trying to help people out on the internet, because they don't listen. They complain no one is paying attention to them, and I'm right there listening to what they have to say, and try to make a point out to them. I feel like I'm wasting my time. I tell them, don't you have friends and parents? They tell me they do, but they wouldn't care. Now that's ridiculous. It's simple that if your parents do not care about you, then why do they have a home for you? Why do they feed you? And why do they buy a computer for you? If they do that, they would of course listen to you when you have to talk, especially about something like suicide. And if you say your friends don't care, then they're not your friends at all. I'm sure someone in person cares, but (they) just want more attention, more people trying to help. As if one person who tries to listen and help, isnt enough? If you want attention in real life, then go get it. Talk to a psychiatrist or get some therapy. Going to forums online won't gain anything. And won't get the attention in person.

I know some people do care about others over the internet, and others may not. But some are getting tired of reading complaints and you guys don't even f*cking listen. Like we're all pieces of shit to you. Then why even bother posting your crap in forums?

That was pretty full on Adriana.....

I'm with the original post - I too wonder about the 2%

the times i've posted about wanting to die in the forums was a last ditch attempt at help ... sometimes someone talked to me and i held it off ... but sometimes it doesn't stop me, but i try anyway, because of my friends on here i feel i owe them a chance to say goodbye, if i succeed. some people are doing it for attention, but don't tar us all with the same brush. and attention seeking isn't actually as pathetic and dumb as you think. i had a friend in hospital who was the biggest attention seeker i'd ever known ... but she told me she was caught between life and death, she needed people to constantly recognise her existence because sometimes she felt she was invisable. if she never got that attention, i believe she would be dead now. i have no doubt in my mind about that.

:O

has anyone ever noticed that the people who actually do kill themselves are the ones that are a suprise to everyone? maybe i'm wrong but i think all the people who moan and groan and threaten to kill themselves on this site just want attention.
