The message kids should get about suicide is that it is stupid, and people who do it are stupid and selfish. I have seen plagues of youth suicide go through communities because everyone goes on and on about how wonderful and sad it is that so-and-so killed themselves and how they were victims of society and the mean world.
Suicide will be attractive to kids if you make it attractive. It will be un-attractive if you make it un-attractive.
Agreed, the stupid schools are promoting this by thinking they are educating and to prevent more bulling but all it is is a glorification of the “victim”. Same with the cutting epidemic.
