Even if you really wanted to kill yourself, it's really hard to make yourself do it.

If he is suiciding why it takes him too long to jump? I think he just want attention.

Many people who are saved rethink about their lives and never attempted again. Everyone of us might be at that stage, isn't it nice that someone brings you back and reminds you life still holds a lot of hope? :)
