Kill Yo' Self Fool!

This is heard on television, schoolyards, music videos, etc. Most of the time, it is said in jest. But many times, it is used to terrorize and hurt other people. I've heard it from people very close to me. I've heard it from an actual mother telling her child that she would be better off dead and that she should just kill herself.

It is a tragic situation. These words are very hurtful and spiteful. They should never be uttered in jest or in reality. Telling a person to kill themselves might just be the one thing they need to actually kill themselves.

Killing yourself is not an act of cowardice. Killing yourself is not a selfish act. It is the act of a person who is hurting. Many people that kill themselves don't want to die. They want the pain to end. There is nothing cowardly about suicide. But there is something cowardly about taunting someone, encouraging them to commit suicide.

There is nothing worse than encouraging someone to kill themselves. People who are suicidal are not doing it for attention. They are doing it because they need help.

ELIMINATE KILL YOURSELF FROM YOUR VOCABULARY TODAY...BECAUSE SOMEONE JUST MIGHT TAKE YOU ON YOUR OFFER!

Not one more life lost to suicide.

Take action now.

If someone says they want to harm themselves, believe them..no matter what their history has been in the past. Take all threats of self-harm seriously.
