Suicidal people deserve better than to be told the main reason they shouldn’t kill themselves is because of how it might affect others.
Suicidal people deserve love and help, not guilt trips.
Suicidal people deserve to feel like their life is worth living, worth fighting for.
When I was a teenager I got in a fight and had to go through a juvenile detention board panel to avoid a charge on my permanent record, despite the fact I didn’t even start the fight or throw the first punch, because my “reaction was not equal”, meaning (from what I understood and remember from the time) I reacted too violently to the altercation. I (allegedly) took it to a level it didn’t need to go to because all the other girl did was pull my hair and swing on me. I should’ve “de escalated” “walked away” etc. according to the police who watched the footage (there was a camera in the hallway), but instead I… did not do that. lol.
Anyway, I say this because the police told me, as a teenage girl, with zero training on any de escalating tactics, who wasn’t even the initial aggressor, I should’ve either just not reacted, walked away, or mentally calculated what an equal reaction should’ve been in the midst of all this.
But asking that of full grown adult trained federal agents is asking too much.
Please spare me
