This is why I dislike people who stop suicides. It's their choice and their right. Mind your business, asshole
Ironically though, the ones who are driven to suicide are often the ones you want to keep around. The ones who cause the pain should be removed from our world
As a person who has been suicidal, I respect this opinion, but as a person who lost multiple family members to suicide, I wish someone had stopped them. The fact that nobody did is what keeps me around though, resentfully, because I don't think my mom could handle it again. It's a complicated feeling.
I’m grateful someone stopped my daughter’s suicide.
Same. My child texted "goodbye" to his friends and they saved him. OC, maybe you'd feel different if the suicide was a loved one, who didn't tell you how they felt? Fuck any other outcome in my case.
Adolescence and young adulthood are such flashpoints for self harm, and it's true that some people just grow out of it.
What I think would be most ethical if I saw someone about to commit suicide by jumping (or other means) would just be to use my words to talk with them but not physically stop them.
