((There are almost always plenty of warning signs)).

~ Once people decide to die by suicide, there is nothing you can do to stop them. (( Suicide can be prevented. Most people who become suicidal do not want to die; they just want to stop their pain.

~ Suicide only happens to  people of a certain gender, race, financial status, age, etc. (( Suicide can happen to anyone at any age.))

~People who attempt suicide and survive will not attempt suicide again. (( People who attempt suicide and survive will oftentimes make additional attempts.))

~ People who talk about suicide are trying to manipulate others. (( No. People who talk about suicide are in pain and need help. And telling them that they "just want something" or "are trying to manipulate" is both insensitive and ignorant.))]]> 2016-09-21 12:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/khrusovsky0708/crkipifhfgg1/wish/125362428
