It isn’t that it’s half-hearted, it’s that its now reversible due to technology. Technology has made it so that a lightening quick 911 call, and a pumped stomach reverse something that would otherwise have been fatal. With men, it doesn’t matter if you call 911, bc it’s most likely through an impulsive, ghastly method. Firearms are said to have drastically worsened suicide stats. Well, that’s in relation to men far more so than female stats.
That’s patently false. Raising awareness has helped tons of people address their problems, through suicide hotlines, therapy, drug intervention and reorienting their lives. There are numbers on this, and if they were inclined to beforehand, they would’ve done it without encouragement. Any other type of awareness you wish to call “slacking” is one thing, but to call simply making it ok to seek help when someone has hit rockbottom slacking doesn’t hold up when the problem is psychological and the alternative to that is more dead bodies.
I disagree about the first part but I will admit I am wrong about the second part. Raising awareness is a lot more productive than I stated. I absolutely do not buy the failed suicide attempt stuff though. Sure it's reversible but even with that knowledge how can somebody fail to successfully kill themselves multiple times? It's very simple to come up with a surefire way of pulling it off. I knew a girl with borderline personality disorder that would pull stunts like this. It's sort of despicable.
