Good call Dr. Bastard...
#1 reason cited for suicide... depression
#1 sign of depression... withdrawing from family and friends
People who threaten suicide need to be treated like little children who act up in order to get attention... they should be ignored. This will force them to try another avenue to get the attention they crave, most of the time it's something more positive.
I think I've gone over this on the board awhile ago, but I'll go ahead and rehash it...
the way I see it is that if I were to attempt suicide and fail... that would just be one more think i failed at in life and another reason that I would feel worthless and want to die. If you're gonna do it, do it right!
Another thing... call me heartless... but if your friend no longer wants to live and her parents don't care if she continues life, maybe you should take a step back and let nature take it's course... perhaps life isn't your friend's niche and she would be better suited for something else.
