I know a lot of people who self harm and are suicidal. I know this is going to sound like a broken record, but what I tell my friends who are thinking of suicide is that I am always there to lean on. I am a great listener, and I will try my best to make you feel better. I, myself, have felt suicidal and have self harmed before, I know the feeling. Now I say I agree with @Caitlin, think about everything you would leave behind. Friends, family, possible lovers, life in general. I know life sucks and is really fucked up, but I personally think that thoughts of seeing my family and friends grieving for me when I die is the worst possible thought. A coworker of mine killed himself last june, I saw what it did to everyone at my job and how it affected us, and even now I get almost teary eyed thinking about it and it’s been over six months. If you are angry and feel suicide is the only way out, talk to someone, your mom, your dad, a sibling, a teacher, a guidance councilor, social worker for the school. Anyone. It helps, I promise you. And now I say it again, if you ever, ever need to talk to anyone about anything, I can be that person. If you want to be anonymous, find me on tumblr and ask me something anonymously. Whatever, just don’t kill yourself. I don’t know you, but I would feel bad and sad and all the above if you did kill yourself.
