Threatning suicide for attention; let's talk about this.

While it's not GOOD to threaten suicide for attention, I do sometimes understand and empathize with people who do this. Sometimes, people need help and guidance. And sometimes, the only way they know to get this is by manipulating people. It's not right, but it's not always exactly an act of malice that people often think it is.

It's a very desperate impulsive call for help. But someone suicidal is feeling so helpless that they think of killing themselves so how much expectations can we have on their strategies to get help really?

To hear from them at all is a good thing. It won't be perfect posts or messages, they just try their best to reach out.

And that takes some balls.
