I think one of the most cowardly, manipulative things for a person to do, is start whining around to people that they are going to kill themselves. If you are having suicidal thoughts, but don't really want to die, check yourself into a fucking mental hospital.
I think it sucks that people are made to 'feel guilty' about people killing themselves. "What did I do wrong?" YOU didn't do anything wrong. If someone really wants to kill themselves (unless the attempt goes wrong), they will find a way.
The only real exception to that, is kids who get involved with drugs or who have emotional problems. Kids aren't really capable of making good judgment calls sometimes, and can be too easily influenced by peers and media.
