    It's crazy that you feel the need to tell me to have sympathy when i already feel that very much. You just took my sympathy for families and loved ones to mean i didn't wanna help or give attention to suicidal people.

    As much as they need that sympathy and help, they also need some cold hard truth to stay grounded in reality. Too much sympathy can make one feel self-righteous and all-powerful. They need to be reminded families and friends are people whose lives are also worth protecting (from mental suffering).

    i really hope your not telling me how i should feel, because thats f----- up since i lived it first hand.
    ive seen with my own eyes hundereds of people crying as a result of suicide. i do think its selfish. they might not realise it but it is. you are ending your problems and starting maybe hundreds more.

    i get what situation they must be in to be contemplating comitting suicide. but for you to to insult me and my view on this very sensitive topic is disgusting.

    Everyone deals with greif differently. People can have opposing beliefs to you. back the f--- off
