It doesn't make a bit of difference. How many of you want ot admit that you're best friend is on the brink of death? Most people don't want to see it. They're too trapped in their own little world, or behind a veil so to speak. It's not because they're stuck up or self absorbed, no, it's because they have it so written into their minds that suicide is something that always happens to someone else. Unfortunetly, we are all someone else, to someone else.
