Cassette 6 Side B: If i knew someone was thinking about committing suicide i would tell them that it is not worth committing suicide.
ReplyDeleteCassette 6 Side B: If I knew someone who was thinking about committing I would tell them that people are there for you and that I'm there for her.
ReplyDeleteIf someone was thinking about suicide i would give them advice like, "have you consider therapy, or maybe murder. Don't punish yourself for other peoples ignorance."
ReplyDeleteCassette 6 Side B: If I knew somebody that was thinking about committing suicide I would say to them that they have a lot to live for, people love them, they shouldn't do it and they should grow up get married and have kids.
ReplyDeletecassette 6 side b: if some was going to comet suside i would tell them you love one will miss u and if u lave then u famliy will miss u and cry
ReplyDeleteIf i knew someone who was about to commit suicide, I would try to stop them as much as I could, tell them it wouldn't be worth it, to many people would miss them. They have to think about the future, family, and friends. Their is so much more in the future to look forward to than just that time your going through at that moment. Anybody could think about it, but anyone could also help stop it from happening. So if you've thought about it, talk to someone about, get help, its the best thing to do.
ReplyDeleteIf someone I knew was thinking about committing suicide I would say to them that everything will be okay we can find help. It's not your fault you did nothing wrong. Most of the time when thinking about committing suicide you don't want to kill yourself you just think its the only way out of whats going on. but once its in your head and you've planed it out there's no stopping them from doing it. Just remember its your life and you can make it what ever you want. jln
ReplyDeleteCassette 6 Side B: If you knew someone was thinking about committing suicide, what would you say to them?
ReplyDeleteIf I knew that someone was thinking about committing suicide I would go and talk to them. I would try and comfort them so they felt like they actually had someone there for them. When people think about committing suicide most of the time they wan't the pain of what they're going through to stop, but most of the time it's just a temporary thing.I know what it feels like I lost my grandfather recently and I didn't want to talk to anyone, I just wanted to sleep all day, I just wanted to be with him and I thought maybe I could be with him sooner than I thought. But I don't think I could have ever gone through with it. He wouldn't want me to miss all the opportunities in life. So I would tell them that everything will eventually get better and if it didn't then I would always be there for them.

Cassette 6 Side B: If you knew someone was thinking about committing suicide, what would you say to them?
ReplyDeleteIf I knew someone was thinking about suicide, I would make sure they know that they are loved and cared about, even if they don't feel like it. I would also talk through everything with them and ask if they would go see a professional and offer to go with them.
