ok...hi im ro and i was reading the thingy about how to kill yourself that was about suicide. I dont know if this is in the right section so sorry everyone if its not.
Some people said people who take overdoses or cut their wrists dont wanna die but as someone whose done it and been close to a friend whose done it sometimes people wanna escape and dont think things through properly. About 3 weeks ago my friend took an overdose of antidepressants and had to go to hospital. She was adopted and now shes been put into a special care institute and MIGHT be placed in a foster placement but might have to stay forever. She moved a county away and I miss her lots but the thing that sticks out in my mind most of all was watching my friend who ive known from the start of school have a breakdown. No one can know how bad that is unless u watch it. People who take overdoses need help, if they are attention seeking so what, they attention seek for a reason and they need support not a label stuck on them. It may seem like a stupid thing to do but it changes lives. Yeh i just wanted to say that, sorry to take up your time.

not all people stick a label on 'em.
plus, this would probably go in health, for future reference before you get shouted at
welcome to thesite!
Some methods are less risky than others(overdosing,for example)as theres always a chance someone will find you, plus the fact its very hard to take the right amount of something.
I think many times it is a cry for help. Sometimes it goes wrong and people die though. Some may not even care what the outcome is so long as they can escape whatever it is thats making them want to die.
You're right, they need help, not judging.
I've shifted this to health for you.
