Some people think that bringing up the topic of suicide around people who are prone to such thoughts will encourage them to kill themselves. This isn't true. Your discussion of suicide will not trigger someone to act. Instead, your talking normally about the subject will convey your concern and may help cut through the shame that the person may have about talking about his or her suicidal feelings. Bringing up the subject of suicide is more likely to lessen the threat of actual suicide than to increase the likelihood of the event.
Other people avoid asking about suicide because they consider such talk an invasion of privacy. This might be true to some extent, but in this case, such privacy concerns are overrated. What good is privacy when someone is in danger of dying unnecessarily and before their time? Failing to ask about suicide out of some concern about embarrassing someone you care about might enable an unnecessary death, whereas asking about suicide could help save a life.
So let's pay attention to all the people Asking for help satin Because maybe it's too late That's when we saw them still alive, we just need to listen to them and let them know that they are not alone.
Let's help them ............
