[quote=Anonymous]Why do these teens do this? Threaten suicide over and over but never do anything? My SIL is going through something similar. Right now it is being treated as an attention seeking behavior with a therapist. She has no mental health diagnosis yet. My niece did an in-patient program for 6 weeks this summer, which is what she begged for. So wild for me to understand. It's a form of blackmail that parents seem to have to accept because if they don't the horrible alternative could be the death of their kid. "Give me/take me/let me XYZ or I'm going to kill myself!" I hate to say it, but I see so many young people bragging on social media about "taking a grippy sock vacation" and others glorifying it. I think many are doing it for the attention from others.
