Cry for Help

The next time I hear someone say, "Attempting suicide is just a cry for help," I will punch them in the face. Suicide is not "just" anything.

Yes, attempting suicide is a cry for help. So, why don't you fucking listen, instead of labeling someone as emotionally weak, unstable, or attention hungry. Suicide isn't just a game people play to see how many people they can get to cry for them; suicidal people actually do want to kill themselves.

I know that's hard for your self-important, pompous mind to comprehend, but please, in the future, don't belittle someone that finds life just a little too difficult to handle sometimes. In fact, since you're so knowledgable about everything, why don't you use even a miniscule part of your time and vast knowledge to help this person. No, don't even try to help them, you'll probably do more harm than good. Just sit there and listen to them for a while. Don't say anything; don't talk about yourself or how you could help them, just listen. It could save their life.
