"there are folks that can help.. teach them that all they have to do is ask"
Most individuals who are suicidal feel that they are either beyond help or just simply feel that no one would be able to help. This is usually a big reason they are suicidal in the first place. So it is actually a downward spiral that is really difficult to get out of. Yes… psych advisors are available on every campus I’ve ever heard of or been to. And, I had a friend in college who was suicidal. This person would not get help until I basicly dragged them to the counselors.
What am I trying to say? Well… I guess its that 1) most suicidal individuals do not reach out for help, they’d rather just “end it all.” 2) it’s not necessarily this individual’s fault that she didn’t get help. 3) it’s not necessarily the college’s fault she didn’t get help.
