Suicide is over talked about...

The whole suicide thing is over talked about. I didn't know that killing myself was an option until I heard about it at school. It wasn't an option for me till I heard about it. I'm not saying that when I heard about it I was like "oh I'm gonna kill myself now". I already felt like I wanted to die but it was more like "oh, I can die". The presentations tell us how others kill themselves. Which could give others ideas on how to kill ourselves, and it defiantly did for me.

I do think we should talk about the feeling of wanting to die, but I don't think that we should be telling us how they killed themselves. I don't think that we need to tell everyone about suicide. I think that people should be aware that people think about being dead and such but I do not think we need to know about people who have. But it's too late for that I suppose. Everyone already knows about it.
People have been traumatized already, by finding their friends and family members dead.

I feel like fewer people would kill themselves if suicide wasn't so advertised. Many people I have talked to didn't think they could die till they heard something about suicide. Of course, it's not the intention, but it seems to be what's happening. T.V even advertises it a lot. Someone I know told me that that's how they found out about it. They had the feeling that they wanted to die but there wasn't a way for them to do it till they saw it on T.V.

But then again this is only my opinion.
