It's bullshit, and it makes our species, as a whole, weaker. If you can't hack this world, please do off yourself, preferably before you reproduce.

QFT.
Quit wasting everyone's time and just do what you need to do. And to the social worker: Anyone who calls a "crisis hotline" is not actually serious about killing his or herself. They're just being emo. Seriously. If someone wants to die, they will die. They will put a 12 gauge in their mouth and blow their brains out. They will find some abandoned house and OD there so no one will find them. They will lock themselves in their room, barricade the doors and windows, and then slit their wrists/throat so no one can get to them in time.
Of course, I'm referring to people who "attempt" suicide regularly, or have these thoughts regularly. I'm not gonna hold it against a guy if he tries to puss out once in his life.

Hey, do you want to know what else weakens our species (or, more accurately, our society)? The above sentiment.
Those of strong character generally want to help people, even strangers--that's one reason why we want to prevent suicide. Others don't give a damn.
"QFT" my ass.
(Where T = "truth.")
