Suicide – Myths & Misconceptions
Suicidal people always appear depressed and lonely. This is not always true; sometimes a suicidal person becomes overly active before attempting suicide. If you dare a suicidal person to go ahead and commit suicide, he or she is not likely to do it. Such a dare is dangerous action and may only convince the suicidal person that no one really care about him or her. Once a person attempts suicide and fails, it is unlikely that he or she will try it again. Often suicide victims make several suicide attempts before they succeed in taking their own life. It is important that a person who has attempted suicide receive professional help immediately. People who talk about suicide are just trying to get attention. People who die by suicide usually talk about it first. They are in pain and oftentimes reach out for help because they do not know what to do and have lost hope. Always take talk about suicide seriously. Always.
