Suicide Awareness Video

If you or anyone you know is feeling suicidal, please call:
1-800-SUICIDE
(1-800-784-2433)

The questions at the end help find out how seriously one's intent is at attempting suicide. Call 911 or the above number for help. If you are helping someone, do not handle them on your own. Call for help.

Over one million people kill themselves annually. Together, we can bring down that number.

The Song used was "Lux Aeterna" by Clint Mansell

"Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp;
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live"

i have all of the warning signs...i even told someone i was thinking about it but they said i would be hurting them more than myself but that made me feel a bit worse..

[HeraBokhari]

If you ever want to talk, feel free to message me. Suicide can escalate into something you obsess over, so it's better to just let out all those pent up emotions rather then keep it all in. You WILL be hurting those you love if you go through with it. But don't let that make you feel bad. Use that as an incentive to live.

We can talk in private if you don't want to speak here. Just send me a private message. :)

did you do this for a class project.. or you just independently made the video? either way, its a good presentation. Its really sad that people end their life. We should endure, there is always a way out. There is always Light in the Darkness

[HeraBokhari]

I did do this for a class final project. But I had a dual intent. Suicide is something I feel strongly about and I wanted to help raise awareness about this issue.

Thank you for your compliment.

Live on. :)

im taking my life again soon... my fourth try won't have interfearances...

[HeraBokhari]

Why would you want to kill yourself?

I'm sure you're a great person with a lot to offer to the world.

And those people in your school are jerks for making fun of you.

I'm going to send you a message so that we can discuss this. (In case you don't want to speak publicly about this).

I'm not some creep on the internet. I'm a 17 year old girl who may understand what you are going through. I'm someone who wants to help. So please talk to me.

@rellicproduction Don't you have a reason to die. But don't do it.....

[rellicproduction]

I did a mental check list during his video, and I had most of the things, also this video makes me feel like a coward for wanting to end it.

[DemmiXxX]

Suicide (all of us here probably thought of it)

Suicide (all of us here probably attempted it--thankfully we failed cause we are still here).....

And now, let me show you who made me feel ASHAMED and made me realise life is for Living....this man had all the reasons to committ suicide, but hes alive and a MASSIVELY INCREDIBLE PERSON! (((((( Nick vujicic : youtube him))))). And after watching his video....look at yourself in the mirror....you will be suprised. God bless

Suicide is a Concious mind decision and is pretty final.

I was a soldier for 12 years and I have been down that path.

I did a 7 day course in NLP & Hypnosis

I was creating my situation I then took control of my mind and my life.

There is a choice

THE NEW LEAF PROGRAMME

[carolewaitrovich]

I am trying to educate as many people as I can about using the word "Commit". Please try to rephrase your comments when making awareness for Suicide Prevention. You video is very touching and it is educating the people of our world. We need to start educating the world with not usuing the word "COMMIT" now. God Bless you and again Thanks!

[carolewaitrovich]

I appreciate the videos on Suicide Prevention & Awareness. I am the Chair of a local walk we have in our community. I lost my brother to suicide in May of 2009. My brother did not commit suicide just as people do not commit heart disease, cancer, diabetes, aids and many other illnesses. We do not commit Mental Illness either. When people take their lives they are not in a good/normal state of mind. They have a brain chemical imbalance, which is called Mental Illness.

[Waterbby23]

This video made me breakdown in tears. Just to know that a million other people feel the same way as I, to know that someone dies every 45 seconds . I was seriously in shock after reading this , but thankyou for making it aware to people that suicide isn't the answer to your problems. Thank you so much !

[IluvBillyUnger]
