Question

Help answer this question below.

I'm shocked by all the posts I see from people who are contemplating suicide and want to know the most painless way to go about it. Can anybody give me some good ideas of what is the best way to help somebody online who says they want to end their life?

    Ignore them.
    The sad fact is most "attempted suicides" are designed to fail but get a lot of attention. Ask any cop or EMT. They are attempts by sad, lonely or desperate people who need help or want attention but who lack the guts to ask for it. Posting an "I'm gonna kill myself" message on line is just the ultimate cry for attention. And, unfortunately, giving them attention just feeds the need for more.
