Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. There are many people out there who once contemplated suicide and have moved on to live wonderful and fulfilling lives who probably don't even remember what they were going to kill themselves over!

come to momma suga

think about your loved ones and how it would affect them and think about spending eternity in hell

This sounds horrible, but 90+ % of the time they're just doing it for attention, so I try to ignore it. Almost every case of suicide, nobody would've ever called it. They keep it to themselves.

Unfortunately, I had to deal with a guy who always threatened to kill himself to try and gain my pity, but I just showed my anger to him and called him greedy and that if he really loved his friends and family, he wouldn't take the easy way out and hurt them.

tell them whatever it absolutly takes.

Omg no go to a therapist pleeeease. Its not worth it and you are hurting many others as well as yourself.

Don't be so selfish...

Nothing. I would call for help and get them treatment.

I love you... --

A suicidal person is a selfish person and figures "I'll show them; I'll kill myself and then they will be sorry"! Take this person to the ER for treatment.

I would let that person know that they are loved and there is a lot of help that they could get for whatever it is they are facing. Also I would let them know that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem and have them think about how them being gone would affect their family and friends.

if they luv their family alot like their mom and dad then get them on a speeker phone or sumthin. its not worth it to kill ur self. not saying its u.

Would you like to be whip in hell and die repetetively?
You can if you want to die now.

i would not say an thing but let someone Else with great wording skills know about the person to help them out. Its better that someone who is very convincing to speak to a person of that mentality because it is very crucial what goes into there brain in those last minutes.

u cant, until they got something that they want and it make them happy. i am a suicidal before and all i want is goin to a school that i want to go but my parent wont allow me to cuz it's expensive. so i become suicidal but after they agree to it and it make me happy. so i am not suicidal now.

it's all up to them what they really want to make them happy, mostly it come from love or heart broken.

There is always something to live for. You just have to find what you live for. When i was younger i tried to kill myself because i didn't have any friends or family to love me. All i wanted was to be loved, I ended up having a baby, not a great choice but now i have something to live for. Everyone has something they want out of this life more than anything else, you just have to figure out what it really is for you before doing something stupid.

I love you and am not ready to say good bye.

All of your enemies will win and all of your loved ones will loose.

That is a really tough question that is hard to answer without knowing more about what the person is going through.

But , suicide is never a good answer. It is in fact a selfish act and never solves anything. Most of the time people dont even know how to be successful with it and can end up worse off then they started but not dead.

My personal approach would b to pray.

I wouldn't try to handle this one yourself. Try to get them to a professional or even to call a suicide hotline. Those people are trained to handles these situations. If you aren't able to say the right things and they kill themselves, you are going to blame yourself. You don't need that guilt because they want to do something stupid.

The first thing you should do is help them get professional help and not try to convince them of anything. I had a brother-in-law that committed suicide by putting a rifle in his mouth and pulling the trigger. I was involved in cleaning up the room where this happened and I will never forget it even after almost 35 years. What I think about people who contemplate suicide is sorrow for the events that may bring them to this but also I feel they are selfish because all in all they don't consider the consequences their act will have on the ones they abandon.

Life is meant to be lived in eternal joy, infinite freedom, unconditional love and unbounded awareness. Any other life is utterly missing the point of being born a human.

It is not only possible to experience this truth for yourself but also easy.

I would ask them if they realized how their death would affect their loved ones. I would tell them that the hurt never ends when a loved one is lost. I would tell them that life changes and the possibilities are endless. Even though whatever they are going through seems horrible it will pass and be only a vague memory.

I love you human to human.

You should confront them about it directly. Why do they want to do this? Do they realize it will hurt many people...people they have no idea it will hurt? Why do they feel hopeless? Try to get them to reason through it. Try to make them see that many people love them. Then get them to some help...even the emergency room.

From my book!
Some people may never realize themselves, yet more people then you may imagine do. The people that dont realize themselves as a teenager, may not later on in life. Some people could go through there entire life not even caring that they are themselves they have landed on the cruise line that will over all take them to paradise, but their paradise is getting off that cruise boat off into reality which you can think of as death. When a person sees the car coming at them at a hundered miles an hour they pause to get in the brief thought of fear. The worst fear of all death. Are we not supposed to face are fears?
Why not look out that cruise boats window and see paradise as it is. You shouldnt jump off that ship when you realize that the paradise every one on board is going to isnt paradise at all instead it is your worst fear once again death. Dont jump off that ship becuase you are afraid to reach that point of no return, jump off only if your ship is sinking then in the end you will either jump off or go down with that ship. A sinking ship could be a sudden sickness or virus leading to death, i say jump off that ship if it is sinking yet some remain on board it depends on what you want to jump for. Some people dont look at death intill it is staring them in the eye. Others are ready to jump off that boat of life becuz they only see death ahead.
There is a party going on in some part of the cruise ship, they just dont bother to look.

tell her/him that it will definitely hurts!if shes planning to jump on a high building tell her it will deform her,gross way of seeing her die that way.then slashing the wrist,will make her feel absolute pain seeing her blood in flood!then if she wants to drink something,she will die with her tongue out,yuck!then of course scare her that the evil will take her not her guardian angel :) peace :)

i would say i dont know what you are going through but i know how hard life can be sometimes i've had times that i thought about suicide myself but its not worth it hell is a lot worse than living here and if you ask God i promise you he will help you through whatever is going on he can change things when their is no way out ,he is the way out! sure there are always gonna be hard times we have to go through but when God helps you once
you know your gonna make and when times get hard again you willl trust it will be okay because you can look back and remmember what ge got you through before
so i would say if your considering something that permant as suicde why noy give Jesus a try first ? what have you got to lose? you have everything to gain he will turn your whole life around! if you have any questions just email me

Think of your Family

Wow that's a long way down
