Myths About Suicide

Here are some myths regarding suicide. 

Myths:

Only certain people can be suicidal.

Only crazy and mentally unstable people commit suicide.

Only adults can get depressed and suicidal.

People who commit suicide are people who were not ever willing to seek or accept help.

If you talk about suicide to someone, it will give them the idea to take their life.

If a person attempts suicide once, they will not ever try to take their life again.

Someone who is suicidal and depressed always feel sad.

It is helpful to tell someone who is suicidal to "cheer up".  

Suicide is mainly a problem for white and middle class individuals.  

It is good to keep it a secret if someone tells you that they are suicidal.

People who talk about suicide will not ever really do it.

If someone is determined to kill themselves, then nothing will stop them from doing so.

Again, these are MYTHS about suicide.

If you or someone that you know is suicidal, seek help. There is always HOPE!
