You are one of very few people on this forum who actually know what they are talking about in regards to suicide (with @FlyingJesus; being another off the top of my head), I haven't said at any point that people shouldn't attempt to be helped/stopped in this thread it was one of the first things I said and it appears to be outright ignored.

I don't see how people can't understand persuasion of others only goes so far, it can help a great deal but it is down to personal choice and if someone commits suicide you don't turn around and go "how pathetic" cause that is sick and wrong on every moral ground.

This is horrible and I'm totally glad she was pulled back. I suppose attempting to commit suicide is very different when you're drunk and (not that she would have lived to have known it) she probably would have regretted it when she sobered up.

I didn't get any special treatment lol
I left that school with no special treatment
and went to my new one with none

I don't really think this is too worthy of news, I mean hopefully I'm not coming across as a bad person here but something this ridiculous as potentially committing suicide because your boyfriend broke up with you is a tad preposterous. I'm a bit of a skeptic as in I don't really think that she would have really gone through with it, that being said, people have killed themselves for a lot less.

This could have been unbearable for this woman. None of us have any right to say she was stupid for doing this because we simply don't know what she was thinking, how she was feeling, what the rest of her life is and many other factors that come into this.

Can't see how that is at all sick, or even shows i'm dumb..
How is self harm anything not to do with suicide, I couldn't get my head around anything else. And regarding your question how it doesn't affect me, it does. I do not appreciate seeing people with slices in their body and loads of blood where ever I go on the Internet. Why would you even want to post that **** all over the internet anyways?
One of the more 'famous' cutters/attention seekers (Emily Cann) went to the same high school as me and I see her about everywhere. The way she struts around acting as if she is something special with all the cuts on her arms/legs is disgusting - nobody wants to see that. In school she literally used to bully everyone, now she gets sympathy off the thousands of followers for everything she does and how people now bully her. That just really angers me.

Oh and if you do it because your intoxicated, you should seriously never think about drinking again.

i think it's a disgusting attitude because why would u rather someone kill themselves rather than get help? so if your partner or one of your sisters say is self harming (which you never know it could happen, as it's often hidden and nothing like that Emily cann person), can you honestly say you'd tell them to go do it properly? seeing how its such a pet hate of yours. just saying you should be really, really careful about this opinion you hold and who you say it in front of because you never know who has gone or is going through it.
also im sick of explaining self harm. self harm comes in many forms, some people drink alcohol to get away from stress and troubles, some take drugs and some cut themselves. it's a form of hurting yourself in order to numb yourself and forget emotional & psychological pain. it is not always to do with suicide and its not always as noticeable as you think.

I'm just glad they were all chanting don't do it cos you hear some terrible stories bout people goading them into doing it. Hope she gets the support she needs :)

Glad to see that not everyone here is totally unappreciative of the value of life vs "suck it up" mentalities. Then again in a way I'm glad that some people are so far removed from tragedy that they can't see this could ever be a viable option for someone since I suppose it means that their life is entirely manageable, which is really the optimum level of being for everyone. I don't condone suicide obviously, and especially not at public functions, but I also don't condemn anyone who feels so hopeless and desperate that they feel the need to make these decisions and act upon them - I wish them all the best and am very much glad that they were saved in time from an action that they could never take back.

I understand totally what some people are saying in regards to not liking the idea of self harm and suicide, I just believe that these are totally uneducated views which bear no actual relevance to reality and show nothing but base contempt. By all means, call self-harmers and failed suicide attempts "attention seekers", but if you're so heartless as to deny them the emotional capacity of getting to such a desperate state then frankly you have no place in this discussion. An uniformed view is not necessary to any discussion other than as a chance to educate the perpetrator.

I never said she was stupid for doing it but from what I heard is she didn't really have much intention to jump. I'm just arguing the incentive that would drive someone so far as the brink of complete and final result which is death. And not that I'm trying to start anything, but as members of the free world we have the right to express our opinions. Everyone has the right to say whatever they wish. It may not be valid, it may not be correct and it may be completely absurd, but that's just the world we live in. Sorry if my post came across as judgemental it wasn't my intention.

comic con

doubt all the superhero nerds would goad her on. What kind of hardcore fan dresses up like an idiot (their fav superhero or whatever) and then comepletely defeats their superhero role by chanting for someone to jump

I bet alot of them were on their way up the stairs to rescue her themselves

Although I heard hannah minx was at comic con so most people were probably either busy staring at her huge bazookas or using her human sized airbags in hope to catch the woman if she did jump
