Would you stop a suicider?
| If a suicider was pointing a gun at his head; would you AT LEAST TRY to stop him/her? |
 |
| The wording you used in the title made me laugh. Well anyway I would try to stop him/her if it was a friend. If not so I would still help in most suicide situations but when he/she is pointing a gun at his/her head I will probably skip or atleast be very careful. I value my life over his/her life and I dont want him/her suddenly pointing it at me :D. But if it was in another situation like jumping of a bridge or something I would definitely try to help. |
 |
| Guns are very dangerous things in the hands of someone mentally and emotionally unstable. I'm not risking my life to save a strangers. If it was a friend or family I'd intervene though. |
| It is a persons choice to end their own life, what gives me the power to intervene over what they want? I mean if my friend was going to commit suicide. I would talk things through with them, but that's the extent of my intervention. |
| Kept you waiting huh? |
| No, it's the persons choice to do this and I've no right to stop them. If it's a family member of course i'd feel bad but in the end it's their decision. |

| Yes because their actions affect more than just themselves. I'd take them in and try to help them. I think very few people are "past-repair" if you will |

| A friend of mine killed himself a couple of weeks ago. I wish I had done something to prevent it... |
| Yeah but then again im not totally sound myself so I'd probably make things worse considering how casu I approach this type of shit. I can't do serious situations im like I'd probably ask them if they want a sip of my coffee because you shouldn't go out without a warm drink first. Them probably criticize their choice of way out as been too obvious. I'd tell them they got one shot at taking themselves out and they pick a gun, come on at least do something people will remember. I'd save them from making an average suicide and if they happen to change their mind before they try again good for them. I wouldn't do the whole you have so much to live for shit. If I were suicidal again and I heard someone giving me the standardized test of talk downs i'd shoot myself to not hear it. |
 |
| I'd try to talk them out of it, but I wouldn't try to stop them physically. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| If it was someone that was important to me, I'd definitely do almost anything to stop it. Them dying would serve as an inconvenience to me. If it was someone I wasn't really familiar with, I'd try my best to talk them out of it but that's about it, especially since there most likely wouldn't be a personal advantage. If they come to their senses and drop their weapon (or w/e), then good for them. But hey... it's just one less person I don't care about who dies as a result of their own stupidity |
| Unless they're really really really close to me, I'd stay the fuck away. I'd probably ask them not to make a mess or something |
| A gun? You're mad man, it could potentially make things worse. |
| Don't kill yourself, tell me your problems. I am a certified therapist, I can persuade you into not doing it. |
| I'd probably stop the person out of instinct, so yeah. |
| To answer the thread's title, I have done on 2 or 3 different occasions. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
| Suicider is not even a word I've talked some friends out of it before. I just hope some I've not bee in contact with are alright and would talk to me. |
| Yes, at least to find out why they are doing it. I'd probably only allow it if it was for a good purpose like they were in agony all the time |
| If I can do anything to stop it, I would. |

| It makes me sad when I see people saying they wouldn't stop the person. People who commit suicide don't actually want to die, they want help from their problems. And Of course I'd try to stop them and try to ensure that they got some help. |
  |
| I don't want to be responsible for someone else's life. Trying to persuade them and telling them everything will be okay would be a lie anyway. I don't like this world anymore than them |
 |
| People who really want to commit suicide choose to do it alone, where nobody can stop them. If somebody wants to kill himself/herself by shooting his/her head, I doubt she/he will choose to do it on public places and work places. In my opinion, the example you put belongs to someone who wants others to suffer, that person wants attention, she/he wants people to feel remorse....he/she wants to "curse" others with a terrible image on their minds. |

I think very few people are "past-repair" if you will And that'd be for you to decide Mr. White knight? As self righteous as you may believe you are suicide is something tiptoed, it's done with consideration. Sure others may get hurt but if you live purely to please others then you're living a very shallow life. |

| I'd threaten to kill him if he tries to commit suicide. |
 |
| I want to but I don't know howlalalalala |
| Yes, I would try to make them stop, I'm not the kind of person to stand around and do nothing when something as serious may happen. I would keep the gun for my own head, though steyn1001 said: A friend of mine killed himself a couple of weeks ago. I wish I had done something to prevent it... I am sorry for your loss. You probably couldn't know about this, so I hope you don't think too much about what you could have done =/ |
 |
| Yes, I'll just tell him to save the bullet for me so I can end my suffering then he can kill himself, I'm too much of a pussy, fam. |

So his parents wouldn't have a debt of 5000 euro's. I knew he was depressed but I didn't saw this coming... Just out of nowhere. It is still very strange.. |
| if its a stranger then wouldnt.. because what if that person gets angry and shoots me instead >.> too risky |
| I'd talk to them about why they want to do it. This will usually lead to two outcomes: a. the reason was silly so I can talk them out of it b. the reason was serious so I don't have to feel as bad about letting them die Either way is better than just watching. |
  |
| I've had to many people kill themselves around me to care anymore. I have question myself of many occuations as what could I have done. It is my fault? Why? Then so many of them happen that it lead me to say that, "I have done everything possible I know of and wish not waste time by staying here and watching." I make sure to mention the fact of that if to human waste, at least dont be a human waste in death. Die in a forest and become compose for the ground. It may sound harsh, but death is something I have seen to often for someone my age. |
 |
| Well, yeah, who the fuck wouldn't? If for no other reason, do you really want to live with the mental trauma of seeing someone's brains explode? Because let me tell you, it's no picnic. |
 |
| chances are you'd get shot for interfering i say let them commit suicide |
| As guts would say It's your life, do whatever you want, If you cant live the way you want you might as well die. |
 |
| Maybe, it would depend on the situation (like if it is likely I will be shot), but I don't see the point. That person will most likely kill themselves later. |
 "Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time." |
| Possibly, though I probably wouldn't because I would be afraid that if I tried to stop them that I would get shot and then after I got shot the person that did it would then probably shoot them self anyway. |

| It always matter if I get profit from helping him/her. It's his/her business, after all. If there's nothing to gain, it's a lose-lose, but if the suicidal is an angsty teen, I'll try to help him/her because it's rife to teens to kill themselves out of preposterous reasons. If it's a degenerate, old and independent man, then bye-bye. If it's a voluptuous woman, no way, I don't fuck a dead body |

| I'd try to talk them out of it but I'd make sure to stay safe, about 70% of all suicide attempts are latter regretted by the people who attempted it if they don't succeed so naturally I'd try to stop them while staying safe. Also the same study deduced that over 90% of people who attempt to kill them self end up not later dying from another suicide attempt, so people saying "they'll probably just try it again later" are wrong. |
