I have expressed an opinion that is in opposition to what others have written. It was important enough to write.

Suicide attempts are not to be taken lightly. This I agree with. I do not feel that contacting the school or parents are appropriate measures.

An aside: I also feel strongly that if an adult wants to end their life, they have every right to do so. Friends or family should not be guilted into feeling responsible for that choice.
