I kind of agree with the sentiment that killing yourself is a really dumb move, but you have to understand that the flaming, accusatory response to it doesn’t really talk anyone out. Guess what? People suffering from depression usually aren’t thinking with perfect logic at the time. You would be quite the same way in their position, so don’t start talking shit.
I think often suicide comes from the belief that one’s life can’t get any better; that there is no opportunity for a comeback, and you’ll be a failure all your life. This is usually a bit too enforced by parents with high expectations, and any sentence that follows the structure “If you don’t …, then you’ll never … in life” (get good grades, succeed; make connections, get a job; start young, become famous)
What I don’t like is the constant negative reinforcement. “If you don’t get good grades, you won’t get a job” should be “If you get good grades, you’ll get a good job”
