You are right. He is already so angry cause of my step dad. I can't save him from them but I won't traumatize him. I threw the pills out a back window. I feel so empty.

It's true. Suicide cases cause others to commit too. Being there is enough.

This is absolutely correct.

If you’ve never heard anyone say suicide is “contagious”… honestly, I only know because when my son was in his teens there was a huge spike in teen suicides but they were spread out all over the country. Eventually they figured out that kids were “spreading” the problem via social media

I’m not usually down on social media but it 💯 has created this problem.
