If your best friend began talking of suicide and asked you not to tell anyone, would you be willing to honor their request?

Hmmm...my answer might be different than most people's, as I myself have been suicidal very many times and tried to kill myself many, many times. The main reason I stopped was because I was tired of having to go to the mental hospital after several failed attempts. And even today, while I'm not trying to kill myself if I could just simply press a button and end it all painlessly, I probably would. So I know how the mind of a suicidal person is like.
BUT...
At the same time, suicide is a permanent thing, and you only get EXACTLY one life. So this is not something to toy around with.
Speaking for myself, if killing myself and dying is what truly makes me happy, that's my right! But at the same time, I imagine if someone existed who loved me, they'd be rather sad. And that would literally only maybe be my parents. 2 whole people on this whole planet.
I myself have talked to suicidal users from other websites. If killing themselves would make them happy, then I'm all for it, but at the same time I enjoy talking to them and don't wanna see them die forever.
So this is a tricky subject.
In the end though...would probably be best to tell someone, because this is a PERMANENT thing, and there is NO GOING BACK no matter what, whether you like it or not.
If it was me, I'd prefer for the other person to tell no one because this is my life, I wanna end it if I feel it's best for me...but at the same time, the other person might not wanna see me gone forever. So there's that.
