After staring at some "suicide education videos" that for me personally go in one ear and out the other, I realized I know nothing about suicide.
I know that more people commit suicide than are murdered, so suicide is a pretty big issue in 2024. But how effective are the suicide prevention programs? And why do people commit suicide anyway? I don't think I (truly) understand the causes.
I tried searching around, and found only a few unclear (to me) studies that claimed their programs were effective. I have a feeling like all these programs have side effects or are not a permanent solution.
The way those "suicide prevention easter eggs" are plastered everywhere by big tech, I am not getting a feeling like any of the "suicide prevention people" truly care about the people they are claiming to help, and most of it is just institutions trying to look good.
I have a hunch like the method against suicide is having actual support and people/friends who care about you, not babysitters who do it for a job. (Peer pressuring out of depression if you will.)
Everything I came across was really creepy "virtual" (as in digital) suicide education programs, with no clear results or effects. Just a bunch of fancy words on a website, if I didn't know they are a serious agency, I would have dismissed them as a typical bloated website.
I want to find someone who is actually proud of saving a tone of people over the years. Not the buzzword stuff.
