    People get really weird about suicide. Almost like they think talking about it will incentivize others to kill themselves.

        I’m not saying there’s nothing to that but it seems to me that if the mere mention of suicide in just about any context is enough to send you over the edge then you were pretty close to falling off already. I find it difficult to attribute much to something like that.

          Exactly. It doesn’t increase suicidal thoughts, it just reminds some that it’s an answer to their thoughts. The solution is reducing the stigma so that people can talk about them freely instead of bottling them up until they reach that point.

      Yea I think my parents and uncle’s side are just old school and don’t like to talk about tough subjects.
