What's up with all these people considering suicide on this website?
I've noticed a lot of questions from seemingly suicidal people on Yahoo Answers. "How can I kill myself?", "should I kill myself?", "I want to kill myself?"
I don't know what to make of these questions. I would like to help, but I don't know if the askers are serious or if I would do more harm than good trying to talk them down.
Has anyone tried to help these people?
Has anyone actually been talked down from suicide on this website?
