Are ppl who joke about killing themselves actually semi-serious?
I mean in general
Yo dude this is a purely hypothetical question. I mean, it's great that you are so willing to storm me with links and phone numbers, but really.. chillax.
the ones who joke about it are being attention grabbing idiots.. the true ppl u hafat look out for are the ones who dont leave a inkling they might.. next time someone jokes about em smack em and say there are millions of ways to die only a few to live so choose or shut up! its not funny and stop beign a brat
I feel fairly sure that many people whose lives ended because of suicide may have made jokes about it before actually doing something to see it through. It may be true that someone is just trying to get attention by making either a joke or a threat about ending their life. It may also be a call for help. Talk to that person who is joking about ending their life. Let them know how you would feel if they did end their life. Let them know that you are there for them if they need to talk to someone. Don't shrug off the comments that person makes as just a joke or an idle threat. Take it as your cue to show them that you care about them. Give them a phone number or two for suicide hotlines in your area. A national number is
1-800-SUICIDE. Go to the library with them and read some books about suicide. You can also check out online information about the subject.
