That's a rather illogical request, considering most people that are truly determined to off themselves just wind up finding another way once their first or fourteenth attempt has been foiled. I had a friend in high school that finally succeeded in doing so, after other people intervened some three or four times. He'd spend a few months in some shrink tank, long enough to convince his 'therapists' (read: the-r.apists) that he was okay. which isn't difficult to do by any means. i felt bad for him. people thought he was just trying to get attention. maybe he was. regardless, he was determined, obviously. sad thing is, he was only 16 or so.
But like I said, I don't want to get into a debate. I think maybe you take it too personally. Maybe you've dealt with suicide close to you in the past. If so, I'm sorry for that loss. I don't want to get on your bad side just because we don't agree on these aspects. you seem pretty cool.
