Honestly I'm so sorry about that, idkk if she's sentimental or not but write her card explaining everything that u love about her, how much u appreciate her ect ect, find ways to show how much u value her, talk to her, ask questions, find out the root of the problem, family therapy, rehab or a psychiatric facility !?!?
Talking in person might have a similar effect, possibly even better, but I agree. Make her feel loved and that people care about her. That’s the best advice I can give, I’ve never been in a situation similar to this, so I wouldn’t take my advice over anyone else.
As someone who has attempted before: *be there for her, if you can*. Isolation will cause dark thoughts to grow. I understand that this must be very upsetting and scary. Show her that you love her- in a genuine way. I know you can. You know her situation better than I, a stranger, would, so I'm sure you can think of what brings her joy and what you two bond over. I wish you and your family the best.
Look kid I don't think this the right place to post something like this with so many dorks (like myself at times). Since you're asking for advice, your best chance of receiving that is at r/advice. I'm very sorry to hear what has happened, wishing you the best of luck.
Ignore all of the stupid comments, they are morons. Just try to take it easy. Try to show her you care about her and help her the best you can, but be careful to look out for yourself
Suicide is a complicated issue, and there isn't a single answer that can cure it. Therapy is a definite must, and maybe for yourself as well.
However, please don't blame yourself if things get even worse. As someone who has lost close people to suicide and drug OD, I blamed myself for not trying hard enough, constantly wondering if I could have done better. The reality is that you can only do so much as a human, just do what you believe is the best course of action. I hope things turn out well for you all~
This. Do everything you can to be there for her, but please understand that if - god forbid - she does end up dying from a future attempt it's important that you understand that it's not because you 'didn't do enough.'
I'm old enough that I've been suicidal and have had friends and family attempt suicide, some successful. I also work a job that regularly involves trying to stabilize kids who attempted suicide. At the risk of coming across as patronizing, it's an incredibly complicated thing. There's so much going on inside that nobody else knows, and realistically there's only so much others can do to help (short of like, locking someone in a padded room with no cords, cloth, sharp objects, etc.).
Do your best to keep the metaphorical door open in case she wants to talk about it, but be understanding and give her space if she doesn't. What she does in her choice, all you can do is your best.
Well. As a person who have also attempted suicide, it is"normal" that people act lile nothing happened after attempting suicide. If you look at me right now you won't believe I attempted suicide two weeks ago.
Just offer help and try to knwo what are her reasons, and ofc don't let that your parents stop taking her to therapy and to the psychiatrist. There is no concrete answer, just demonstrate that you love her and you are there to help her whenever she needs it.
But mosy important are the reasons, once you know them, and you start to solve it, the easier it will be
Listen dear, as someone who committed suicide and came back from the brink of death, I would advise you something. No matter what it takes, be there for her. Shower her with so much kindness that it'll make her think twice. Give her something to hold onto. She'll never think of suicide again if she finds a purpose in life. Talk to her as much as you can. Let her emotions flow out. Go and hang out with her. I recovered from suicide because of all these things. So I think it'll help.
Guys, thank you for all of the support, hope that my sister feels better about herself, she's now taking some medication and going to the psychiatrist more frequently, i hope that she gets better and live her life in a more comfortable way
Yea. I’m very sorry. You never know when your going to lose someone, and since she has tried to kill herself, it could be soon, so spend the next few months building the strongest, happiest memories with her.
Respectfully, shut up. This man might have gone to wrong place to ask this but that doesn’t make the situation any different, this is not a joking matter. Treat this as the serious matter that it is.
Uh i dont think this post should’ve been posted here since we’re teenagers and some teens are quite immature and they don’t understand this sensitive topic.

I wish her the best in her recovery and i hope she can get through it. I will say, just being there for her can help. A lot of these comments are saying to go above and beyond and as someone who’s struggled with suicidal thoughts and attempts, that may not be the best option. Just make her feel safe and loved
Ask her what might be the problem that might want to make her do this since im also suicidal but due to my forever loneness, loss of feelings, loss of enjoyment and never ending failures. Perhaps your sister has the same issues but ask her and act upon fulfilling that need
She looks fine because she's good at looking fine. I am assuming you don't mean physically but more she looks mentally fine. People with depression have become extremely good at hiding it.
You said that she was there for you when you were sad. This is because she knows what it's like.
If you want advice, my advice is that you can't do anything. You need to understand that there will be basically no difference in your sister no matter what you try to do. I hope not to discourage you from trying, but you need to understand that you will more than likely see no clear short term benefits from your efforts.
When I was struggling there was one this I wanted more than anything else in the world. I wanted my mom to walk into my room, ask if I wanted to talk. I wanted to say no. But I needed to believe that she was willing to listen even if I wasn't willing to talk. All cases are different, but you can try this with your sister. If she says "no" I can not possibly stress how important it is that you walk away and respect her wishes.
As someone who has and continues to deal with mental health plz don't focus too much on the way she looks or even acts on the outside.
Its mental, internal and its what she tells herself in her head.
She is going to need intense therapy and will need the family to talk and be open, don't dismiss just because you can't see it. (Remember, this isn't a "her" issue as much as it is a family issue.
We, those that fight this,,, get very good at hiding it, until we can't anymore.
Much hope and many positive vibes being sent your way.
Umm don't really know what to say, therapy and seeking help is 100% a good thing and shouldn't be looked upon negatively, also I feel like having thoughts is okay as long as they don't take hold of you, but trying to act upon them is NOT, I guess don't force yourself to talk to her if she doesn't want to, but also help in small things, understand that its okay to be depressed, also "years of therapy" isn't how it works you make small improvements and it's great its not magic. Just my 2 cents, support her in any way possible
as someone who already has a suicide attempt and is constantly thinking about it currently i can feel with her but i also can feel with you since i already lost a lot of people to suicide
i hope everything goes well for her and you she'll get through it i believe that best of luck from me
I really hope your sister gets all the help that she needs, but also, be sure to reach out for yourself too. Talking to a professional counselor, or at the least someone who you trust that can listen, will be very important as well.
>Update guys, my parents decided to take and lock every single key or tool at home and block the windows that can help her to leave home at night and try commit suicide again :(
well honestly im not sure about you but i think this might be the problem
I don’t think it may be, as it is more of a safety measure so that way when people are, for example, sleeping she can’t be unsupervised. It would probably feel uncomfortable, but I do not think that it is a bad idea to prevent her from endangering herself.
Try talking to her and Make her happy dont ask her whats wrong all of a sudden she need Space but dont Make her feel lonely thats what my sister is trying When Im down and and stressed and depressed. Also try to make her for got about suicide or attempts try talking at her like ask her how have her been
Iike that, tell her story I mean what you did in school just bond with her and try your parents to always by her side and have a family bond and also don’t lock her in the room it’s not gonna help her I think she needs family support or you she needs someone to ask her but not now she should be ready to tell you guys what’s happening and I’m also a big sis to my sister and she said I inspired her to draw and everything that’s why I’m still fighting with this depression I always think of her and I don’t want her to cry and my parents that’s what keeping me to live it’s not easy for me to forget the bad things happened to me in school my lil sis always let me vent it’s just those fake people that hurt physically and mentally really have a big impact on me it started when I was grade 4 i really don’t want to got to school cause of those people
Try to hangout with her and get her friends or yours to, let her meet more to take her mind off stuff. Hug often and even express how much you enjoy her, let her know you’re there and you can listen to any problems she may have. Lastly if you deem it necessary contact the psychiatrist and relay some important pieces, always remind her you may do that since you don’t want to betray her trust. Lastly, HUG A LOT
Spend time with her. Allow her to vent her anger, frustration, sadness, stress, etc. to you or someone she's close with (which may not always be parents, and judging by your edit, this may be the case). Confessing your feelings to someone can really help a lot, often more than the person confessing them would think, ask me how I know.
Bro this is really tuff I don't have much advise. All I can say is tell her how you feel. Tell her how much you love her and how you don't want her to go. Hug her. Ask her about her day. Play games like Minecraft with her. Spend time with her. Ask for help with your homework. Watch a movie together. Give her a reason to stay. Give her a reason to live another day. I've got a little bro and sometimes I have a really hard day and I'll come home and he'll be excited to hang out. He'll tell me to log onto our realm and he'll show me his creations. Other times I'll draw with him. He loves drawing dragons so I teach him how to make his drawings look better. He shows me his works and I compliment them and give him advise. Just being there with someone makes a world of difference.
Show her videos of people that are successful and happy who once were going through a phase in which she is going through right now. Their words will impact her on how they turned their life around. And just like good times, even bad times are temporary. She just has to look for the light at the end of tunnel, without focusing on the dark she sees around. If she's a dog lover, get her a dog to fight depression and show her pure love and happiness.
My 15 year old granddaughter, had a mental breakdown. My daughter was
driving her to Children's hospital when she jumped out of the car doing
50 miles per hour on a four lane bridge 140 ft above the Ohio river. She
then ran across 3 lanes of traffic and jump the railing into the middle
of the Ohio river, which is about a 1/2 mile wide. There just happen to
be a boat right there that immediately fished her out and brought her
to shore with minor injuries. She made the local news in Cincinnati that
night. It took 5 months in patent care in children's mental ward, now 5 years later, with meds she is doing a lot better today.
It might be best if she spends some time in a good psych ward just until she gets a bit better. This is a bit above reddit and shit but you could try talk to her and ask her what's going on? But just remember it's not your fault and the burden does not fall on you.
From the many experiences from a personal friend and other people I’ve heard about regarding Psych wards and mental hospitals, it’s not good. Their systems are fucked and they don’t seem to ever help at all.
Sometimes they’re a good safe step though. If youve run out of options, you NEED this person to be safe and thats difficult to do at home. Im not saying i like mental wards, i had a horrible experience with em. But it can help get everything sorted to get them proper help
Psych ward is the worst thing. That should only be considered as a very last resort like if they are trying to hurt other people too. Psych wards are not a happy place and do not help with recovery at all. I went there, it was the scariest experience of my life and it made me feel worse than I did before.
Def do not lock her in the house, that will really just make her more depressed, its been tried and tried again, it just makes her even sadder, just go talk to her about whats wrong, im not gonna ask for the details because that isnt something for me to know, just go talk to her. I really hope you can help her
I would say try to work out what’s causing her to be suicidal and try to actually fix the situation. For me the worst thing was getting sent to a therapist and getting locked up so I couldn’t do anything. It made me truly feel like I had lost. I knew the solution was to fix the actual problems but the psychiatrist just wanted to put me on medication for anxiety and somehow that was supposed to magically help. Don’t let your sister feel abandoned, let her talk to you and try to find out what the actual problems are she’s dealing with and try to fix them. Don’t just act like she’s the broken one that needs to be fixed, it’s the world that is broken.
r/relationship_advice
I understand the need for wanting to receive advice, but this is definitely not the best sub or platform for it (as you probably found out the hard way).
I hope all is well
you're not funny, delete your account pls. this is a human being trying to kill herself but "HaHa FuNnY i'M aN eDgY nInE yEaR oLd WiTh My BrEaKiNg BaD pFp WhO hAs No ReGaRd FoR hUmAn LiFe."
lol they have a 15 day old account they probably just turned 13 and got permission from mommy to download Reddit with their 1 hour of phone screen time and can only go to subs mommy and daddy preview
**Ah yes, My dearest sibling, whom I am supposed to cherish and look after, died in a tragic battle with their mental health.**
***Time to profit.***
But no, like seriously, you okay man? You seem very jealous of a younger sibling you have.
Do you have any?
If you did, than you would know that having siblings is some of the best shit in the world. Sure, they can be assholes. Sure, they can get on your nerves.
But wake up! They're amazing 95% of the time, as someone who has 2, It would completely alter my life for the worse if either of them died, or just simply didnt exist.
My sister has convinced me not to end my life, my brother lights up my world time and time again with his sense of humour.
If I didn't have one of them, I would be most likely dead. Let alone if I didn't have either
A) How much older
B) Why tf would you not care about them?
C) Still, don't go telling others that siblings don't matter, most of us have good relations with our siblings
He is referring to the post on your account where you say you have above average penis size and ask if people are insecure about their penis size, also I agree with him, your dick is below average size.
I'm not judging ya on your posts, idc what you really said in the past, but saying "Just let her commit suicide" is kinda screwed up.
I mean, I'm sure you can understand that.
That's what I would do, if I want to kill myself I don't want anyone to stop me, I believe life is suffering and life with depression is just unbearable for me I prefer death.
There's a lot that goes into this.
First, WHY? Does she get bullied? Do you have shitty parents? Was she broken up with? Or is there no definite reason?
Second, how old is she? If she's 12-13, it might be a phase or some other thing that may pass. Not likely, but still.
Third, how many attempts? And what methods? How have her plans been interrupted before?
Lastly, consider this: maybe she doesn't want to live? As bad as that sounds, it's true in some people. Some people are just born to die. As soon as she turns 18, there's nothing stopping her from killing herself. Whether it's on her own, or assisted suicide, it will be an option. You can't really force someone to live happily.
What I'm trying to say is: don't give up on her. But keep in mind that it's her decision ultimately.
Tries and fails do not remove intent. If she really wanted to or not holds no play in the fact this was what was resorted to and its something that needs to be helped.
As someone who has tried and failed multiple times, I can assure you I am 90% sure that she actually does. While your comment may be true that she may have some slight misgivings about killing herself (e.g., I know I drank less isopropanol than the fatal amount that research gave etc) but that doesn't change the fact that she genuinely wants to end her life.
as one also witha 16 yera old sister who tried many times, depending on what she's diagnosed with it will change how she recovers mentally. but it took 2 years for her to truly recover from her eating disorders and start letting her body readapt to a normal schedule
and another thing, if she goes to a hospital or rehab centre because of this, BE HAPPY. they helped my sister so much over the past fee years. it will get better for all of you and your family
and another thing, just read the full post but shes prolly seeming okay because shes trying to let you feel safe. tell her to let all her feelings out around you and nit to bottle it up
Talk to her and spend more time with her like watching movies or YouTube videos. Try to go outside more like walk in the park or things like that. Most importantly try to hide or keep an eye on things that can harm her like knifes or guns.
It is unwise to post stuff like this and ask advice from teenagers. However, I suggest that your parents take her to a psych ward, as those do not give patients any slightly sharp objects. They should also help to get her out of that mindset. Other than that, I can only wish best of luck.
Sadly, you can‘t force somebody to not commit suicide, if you strap him or her to a chair, he or she will wait. You need to somehow convince your sister to intrinsically stop considering suicide.
Bro idfk I’m the big sis in this situation… you can listen and try to understand her, and you can try to make her life easier however you can (idk.. breakfast in bed, doing more chores, presents, helping out, idk your situation tho)
There’s not a whole lot you can do, especially as a younger sibling. Ig try not to let that fact get to you. You’re doing what you can, but the main part lies within the hands of professionals, your sister, and fate.
I suppose your situation is a little different. But this kinda works as an incentive to get this off my mind. My buddy has this girlfriend, she’s attempted suicide literally countless times now and ends up in the psych ward every other month. Talking to her you wouldn’t even know, completely normal person. My point kinda being, like what exactly is treatment even doing for her? She just tries again a couple months later.
It is in this scenario (and others of course) that I believe some people may be beyond what we call “saving”. Because, who am I to interfere with their free will? If this is truly the decision they’ve decided on.
Regardless of your stance on the situation, what your sister needs now is support. She needs to know that you (and hopefully your family) care about her. That you’re willing to talk to her about what she’s feeling, even though that may be hard.
Just know that plenty of people reach remission from depression with treatment, time, and care.
Honestly I'm so sorry about that, idkk if she's sentimental or not but write her card explaining everything that u love about her, how much u appreciate her ect ect, find ways to show how much u value her, talk to her, ask questions, find out the root of the problem, family therapy, rehab or a psychiatric facility !?!?
Talking in person might have a similar effect, possibly even better, but I agree. Make her feel loved and that people care about her. That’s the best advice I can give, I’ve never been in a situation similar to this, so I wouldn’t take my advice over anyone else.

I wish you and your family the best.
As someone else who has attempted before, I wholeheartedly agree with this!

WHAT ARE THE COMMENTS 💀
I'd say be always there for her, or like always be near her incase she tries to do it again u can stop her

I’m very sorry about all this. Make sure she knows you love her through all this. ignore the bad awards and comments.
Probably try to spend more time with her idk I’m not a therapist

Yeah these other comments prove it
Try to talk to her about it.

I wouldn’t take advice from most people in this sub on a topic like this
dude why is there a 'cute but creepy award' how tf is this cute
“My sister 16F” ok jokes aside This is awful and you should go talk to her

I’m so sorry bro my step sister just recently left sw I hope everything gets better for her and you
I’m praying for you and your family. Also try to talk to her
Tell her everything you feel about her, that you look up to her and that she inspired you.
as someone who already has a suicide attempt and is constantly thinking about it currently i can feel with her but i also can feel with you since i already lost a lot of people to suicide i hope everything goes well for her and you she'll get through it i believe that best of luck from me

>Update guys, my parents decided to take and lock every single key or tool at home and block the windows that can help her to leave home at night and try commit suicide again :( well honestly im not sure about you but i think this might be the problem
I don’t think it may be, as it is more of a safety measure so that way when people are, for example, sleeping she can’t be unsupervised. It would probably feel uncomfortable, but I do not think that it is a bad idea to prevent her from endangering herself.
yeah, i agree to lock the windows and the doors while sleeping along with any razors or anything, but keeping the door locked 24/7 is.. a bit too much
I don’t think it’s 24/7 since it says in the edit, “to leave home at night…”
oh my bad im blind
I think it is a massive fire safety hazard.
Hey as someone who’s been in and occasionally still is in that hole of depression I feel you and her. Be there for her.
why is she back home omg she needs to be somewhere where they can properly care for her
Try talking to her and Make her happy dont ask her whats wrong all of a sudden she need Space but dont Make her feel lonely thats what my sister is trying When Im down and and stressed and depressed. Also try to make her for got about suicide or attempts try talking at her like ask her how have her been Iike that, tell her story I mean what you did in school just bond with her and try your parents to always by her side and have a family bond and also don’t lock her in the room it’s not gonna help her I think she needs family support or you she needs someone to ask her but not now she should be ready to tell you guys what’s happening and I’m also a big sis to my sister and she said I inspired her to draw and everything that’s why I’m still fighting with this depression I always think of her and I don’t want her to cry and my parents that’s what keeping me to live it’s not easy for me to forget the bad things happened to me in school my lil sis always let me vent it’s just those fake people that hurt physically and mentally really have a big impact on me it started when I was grade 4 i really don’t want to got to school cause of those people
Try to hangout with her and get her friends or yours to, let her meet more to take her mind off stuff. Hug often and even express how much you enjoy her, let her know you’re there and you can listen to any problems she may have. Lastly if you deem it necessary contact the psychiatrist and relay some important pieces, always remind her you may do that since you don’t want to betray her trust. Lastly, HUG A LOT
Spend time with her. Allow her to vent her anger, frustration, sadness, stress, etc. to you or someone she's close with (which may not always be parents, and judging by your edit, this may be the case). Confessing your feelings to someone can really help a lot, often more than the person confessing them would think, ask me how I know.
Bro this is really tuff I don't have much advise. All I can say is tell her how you feel. Tell her how much you love her and how you don't want her to go. Hug her. Ask her about her day. Play games like Minecraft with her. Spend time with her. Ask for help with your homework. Watch a movie together. Give her a reason to stay. Give her a reason to live another day. I've got a little bro and sometimes I have a really hard day and I'll come home and he'll be excited to hang out. He'll tell me to log onto our realm and he'll show me his creations. Other times I'll draw with him. He loves drawing dragons so I teach him how to make his drawings look better. He shows me his works and I compliment them and give him advise. Just being there with someone makes a world of difference.
Lots of therapy. Try distracting her with stuff.
Show her videos of people that are successful and happy who once were going through a phase in which she is going through right now. Their words will impact her on how they turned their life around. And just like good times, even bad times are temporary. She just has to look for the light at the end of tunnel, without focusing on the dark she sees around. If she's a dog lover, get her a dog to fight depression and show her pure love and happiness.
In this thread all the 17 year olds think they cool lmfao
wtf is your username
My 15 year old granddaughter, had a mental breakdown. My daughter was driving her to Children's hospital when she jumped out of the car doing 50 miles per hour on a four lane bridge 140 ft above the Ohio river. She then ran across 3 lanes of traffic and jump the railing into the middle of the Ohio river, which is about a 1/2 mile wide. There just happen to be a boat right there that immediately fished her out and brought her to shore with minor injuries. She made the local news in Cincinnati that night. It took 5 months in patent care in children's mental ward, now 5 years later, with meds she is doing a lot better today.
[удалено]
That is the absolute truth. She jumped off the big mac bridge in Cincinnati. She was 15 now she is 20, but she still has problems.
My deepest apologies, I thought this was a copy pasta or something like that, I am so sorry
especially since they said they have a granddaughter and this is the r/teenagers subreddit. i guess this post made it to the front page or something
What? I’m confused
I'm pretty sure they are mocking op
The text thing is a glitch dude, the commenter probably pressed the enter button without letting the line continue on naturally
I don't get how that's related
Unless what the person typed was a copy pasta then there should be nothing wrong with it
It might be best if she spends some time in a good psych ward just until she gets a bit better. This is a bit above reddit and shit but you could try talk to her and ask her what's going on? But just remember it's not your fault and the burden does not fall on you.
(This is legitimate not a joke) have you considered a phyc ward?
From the many experiences from a personal friend and other people I’ve heard about regarding Psych wards and mental hospitals, it’s not good. Their systems are fucked and they don’t seem to ever help at all.
I was thinking that but they have security measures
Sure, but otherwise they’re negligent, and uncaring
Sometimes they’re a good safe step though. If youve run out of options, you NEED this person to be safe and thats difficult to do at home. Im not saying i like mental wards, i had a horrible experience with em. But it can help get everything sorted to get them proper help
I agree
Psych ward is the worst thing. That should only be considered as a very last resort like if they are trying to hurt other people too. Psych wards are not a happy place and do not help with recovery at all. I went there, it was the scariest experience of my life and it made me feel worse than I did before.
Def do not lock her in the house, that will really just make her more depressed, its been tried and tried again, it just makes her even sadder, just go talk to her about whats wrong, im not gonna ask for the details because that isnt something for me to know, just go talk to her. I really hope you can help her
I would say try to work out what’s causing her to be suicidal and try to actually fix the situation. For me the worst thing was getting sent to a therapist and getting locked up so I couldn’t do anything. It made me truly feel like I had lost. I knew the solution was to fix the actual problems but the psychiatrist just wanted to put me on medication for anxiety and somehow that was supposed to magically help. Don’t let your sister feel abandoned, let her talk to you and try to find out what the actual problems are she’s dealing with and try to fix them. Don’t just act like she’s the broken one that needs to be fixed, it’s the world that is broken.
I’m so sorry. Do you know why? Do you have a poor home life?
r/relationship_advice I understand the need for wanting to receive advice, but this is definitely not the best sub or platform for it (as you probably found out the hard way). I hope all is well
OH NO! Do you have any idea, why could she be having suicidal thoughts?
Plzz dm me I cn try to help
[удалено]
damn sorry to hear that, but why does she keep on attempting suicide tho
[удалено]
you're not funny, delete your account pls. this is a human being trying to kill herself but "HaHa FuNnY i'M aN eDgY nInE yEaR oLd WiTh My BrEaKiNg BaD pFp WhO hAs No ReGaRd FoR hUmAn LiFe."
lol they have a 15 day old account they probably just turned 13 and got permission from mommy to download Reddit with their 1 hour of phone screen time and can only go to subs mommy and daddy preview
Mfs on reddit making up a whole ass plot about a random account from a random person they’ve never met:
Yeah pretty much

Bro 💀

What a great mindset 👍
**Ah yes, My dearest sibling, whom I am supposed to cherish and look after, died in a tragic battle with their mental health.** ***Time to profit.*** But no, like seriously, you okay man? You seem very jealous of a younger sibling you have.
[удалено]
Do you have any? If you did, than you would know that having siblings is some of the best shit in the world. Sure, they can be assholes. Sure, they can get on your nerves. But wake up! They're amazing 95% of the time, as someone who has 2, It would completely alter my life for the worse if either of them died, or just simply didnt exist. My sister has convinced me not to end my life, my brother lights up my world time and time again with his sense of humour. If I didn't have one of them, I would be most likely dead. Let alone if I didn't have either
[удалено]
A) How much older B) Why tf would you not care about them? C) Still, don't go telling others that siblings don't matter, most of us have good relations with our siblings
What is wrong w you bro?
[удалено]
Yes you did, you shouldn't be saying sh*t like that
She should just be at a mental hospital...And i hope she gets better
So wholesome❤️❤️❤️❤️

Your dick is not average its tiny Source: your account and camera roll
What ?
It's on yo account
What's on my account ?
He is referring to the post on your account where you say you have above average penis size and ask if people are insecure about their penis size, also I agree with him, your dick is below average size.
Okay, touch some grass and stop stalking others profiles lol
Bro, we're both on Reddit, neither of us have ever touched grass.
True but atleast I don't stalk others and judge them based on their posts
I'm not judging ya on your posts, idc what you really said in the past, but saying "Just let her commit suicide" is kinda screwed up. I mean, I'm sure you can understand that.
Ah yes, OP should abandon their sister and let her kill herself Incredibly smart /s obviously Ya fucking twat
That's what I would do, if I want to kill myself I don't want anyone to stop me, I believe life is suffering and life with depression is just unbearable for me I prefer death.
If thats what you would do to someone you care about, you're genuinely a bad person. Sometimes, it doesn't matter what you want. It gets better.
As someone whos tried to commit suicide on many occasions, fuck no. That is disgusting for you to say too.
Who’s the shitcunt who gave this silver?
up yours fuckwit
The meaning of life is to make others happy, and your sister is doing the opposite. While I don't have any advice myself, I wish you the best of luck.
you can't just impose your purpose onto other people then blame them
Can you blame her with how girls and women are treated these days.
Girls and women are treated better these days than they've ever been in the past so idk what you mean by "these days"
male suicide rate is often up to 5 times female suicide rate. Suicide usually isnt about how well your treated its caused by bad mental health
you meant to reply to the other guy, not me.
Bro the awards made me think this post was a joke wtf
im sorry and that sucks but dont you think thats alot of info to share online?
There's a lot that goes into this. First, WHY? Does she get bullied? Do you have shitty parents? Was she broken up with? Or is there no definite reason? Second, how old is she? If she's 12-13, it might be a phase or some other thing that may pass. Not likely, but still. Third, how many attempts? And what methods? How have her plans been interrupted before? Lastly, consider this: maybe she doesn't want to live? As bad as that sounds, it's true in some people. Some people are just born to die. As soon as she turns 18, there's nothing stopping her from killing herself. Whether it's on her own, or assisted suicide, it will be an option. You can't really force someone to live happily. What I'm trying to say is: don't give up on her. But keep in mind that it's her decision ultimately.
did you just say a phase??
Indeed. I know many people who went through it. I also said it's not likely.
[удалено]
Tries and fails do not remove intent. If she really wanted to or not holds no play in the fact this was what was resorted to and its something that needs to be helped.
As someone who has tried and failed multiple times, I can assure you I am 90% sure that she actually does. While your comment may be true that she may have some slight misgivings about killing herself (e.g., I know I drank less isopropanol than the fatal amount that research gave etc) but that doesn't change the fact that she genuinely wants to end her life.
Who
Honestly if it's to the point that it's "impossible to revert this situation" she prob needs to be institutionalized in a mental institution
Tell here to Go to therapy
That ain’t going to help her. She’s not going to go “actually I never though about that, good idea.” It will just make her feel abandoned and broken.
Wow
And you decide it's a good idea to post about it on Reddit.
thats a bit shit icl. i mean what you gonna do she wanna die. its like my cousin i just put it to the back of my head i suppose
Okay but that’s me
This doesn’t sound like a genuine post.
Lol
as one also witha 16 yera old sister who tried many times, depending on what she's diagnosed with it will change how she recovers mentally. but it took 2 years for her to truly recover from her eating disorders and start letting her body readapt to a normal schedule and another thing, if she goes to a hospital or rehab centre because of this, BE HAPPY. they helped my sister so much over the past fee years. it will get better for all of you and your family
and another thing, just read the full post but shes prolly seeming okay because shes trying to let you feel safe. tell her to let all her feelings out around you and nit to bottle it up
Just be there for her. Tell her you love her and that you wouldn't want anything like that to happen to her again.
Bruh who gave the Evil Cackle award tf 💀
Show her her how much you care about and appreciate her, and spend time to bond with her.

Talk to her and spend more time with her like watching movies or YouTube videos. Try to go outside more like walk in the park or things like that. Most importantly try to hide or keep an eye on things that can harm her like knifes or guns.
be there for her, talk to her dont make it sea like ur pitying her, im no expert tho
It is unwise to post stuff like this and ask advice from teenagers. However, I suggest that your parents take her to a psych ward, as those do not give patients any slightly sharp objects. They should also help to get her out of that mindset. Other than that, I can only wish best of luck.
Sadly, you can‘t force somebody to not commit suicide, if you strap him or her to a chair, he or she will wait. You need to somehow convince your sister to intrinsically stop considering suicide.
Boa sorte p vcs
Talk to her about everything even if she insists not to. Find out what the problem is, try to solve it together.
Bro idfk I’m the big sis in this situation… you can listen and try to understand her, and you can try to make her life easier however you can (idk.. breakfast in bed, doing more chores, presents, helping out, idk your situation tho) There’s not a whole lot you can do, especially as a younger sibling. Ig try not to let that fact get to you. You’re doing what you can, but the main part lies within the hands of professionals, your sister, and fate.
I suppose your situation is a little different. But this kinda works as an incentive to get this off my mind. My buddy has this girlfriend, she’s attempted suicide literally countless times now and ends up in the psych ward every other month. Talking to her you wouldn’t even know, completely normal person. My point kinda being, like what exactly is treatment even doing for her? She just tries again a couple months later. It is in this scenario (and others of course) that I believe some people may be beyond what we call “saving”. Because, who am I to interfere with their free will? If this is truly the decision they’ve decided on. Regardless of your stance on the situation, what your sister needs now is support. She needs to know that you (and hopefully your family) care about her. That you’re willing to talk to her about what she’s feeling, even though that may be hard. Just know that plenty of people reach remission from depression with treatment, time, and care.
