Loved ones of someone who is experiencing despair and suicidal ideations are often reluctant to bring up the subject of suicide for fear of putting suicidal thoughts into the minds of those they love. This misconception closes off one of the most considerable means of preventing someone from dying by suicide, talking about their problems.”

The above mentioned in your article is the biggest and the most underlying issue when it comes to fighting suicides.

Yes Suicidal tendencies are not good, but acceptance of the person facing those emotions along with the acceptance of the people around that person should be the most important and prioritised agenda to prevent these suicidal tendencies amongst the masses.

The process of being there and listening to people and their suicidal emotions needs change .
