i agree mostly with what you said. i do think, however, many people who are really really considering suicide, if given a chance, will at least hint at the fact that there is a problem. many people want help, but don't know how to ask, or are embarrassed, or whatever, and if given a chance, wont say "im gonna kill myself" but might mention something is wrong and might need someone to talk with.
