Suicide Awareness Survey
0. What is your age:
13
1. What is your view on suicide?
I think it is an absolutely terrible thing to do, and I would never do something like that to myself.
2. How big of a deal do you think suicide is?
It is a big deal, as it affects not only the person committing suicide, but everyone who cares about that person.
3. How often do you think someone commits suicide?
I am not sure, but I guess it is pretty often.
4. Have you ever lost anyone close to you because of suicide?
Not as of this moment. Unfortunately, one of my closest friends, someone that I really like and care about, said she wanted to kill herself this weekend. I talked to her about it, and she said I had nothing to worry about, but I think she may go through with it. There is no way I could stop her, I can't call her or anything. I really hope she realizes that her life is very valuable and losing her would be very bad for everyone. Right now, I can think of a few reasons that I could convince her not to, but it is too late now. I will have to wait, and hope for the best.
5. What do you think the main cause for suicide is?
There are many causes that I can think of right now, but one of the main ones that I can think of is some kind of family hardship. As with the girl I was talking about, her parents are alcoholics and abusive.
6. Anything else you would like to say about suicide awareness?
I would like to say that suicide is a very terrible thing to do, and has more of an effect than you think.
