People who are truely suicidal don't say anything they just do it. They don't tell people even if they fail? Why? Because then people won't allow them to try it again. Take my friend Jody's cousin for example: She didn't tell anyone anything, downed a bottle of pills and now is dead. If she would have told someone before hand that she was going to do it, or perhaps had she failed, she would have kept quiet and tried it again. Another example, I'll only touch on it, is someone I know who lost a life long friend. There was no way for anyone to know, so there was no way for anyone to stop him. But people who tell people "I'm going to kill myself," or "I tried to kill myself," are only really out for sympathy. I'm merely stating what I've observed.
