[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a difference between suicidal ideation and talking about hurting yourself for attention. You should look closely at the latter. [/quote] I really disagree with the above statement. When you say, "you should look at the later," "you" means the parent -- parents are not trained to differentiate between a "real" suicide threat and a suicidal statement "made for attention". Every threat of suicide should be raised with a doctor or health professional -- they are the ones that are trained to assess such statements. I also think that it is somewhat stigmatic to label suicide threats as "for attention" in general. People who talk about suicide, whether they ultimately intend or try to take their life, are people that are in some kind of pain and deserve help, not dismissal and judgement that they are "doing it for attention."
