So browsing Tumblr I came across a suicide note written by a girl today. I messaged her kind words and hoped it wasn't too late (haven't heard back). Then I clicked on the tag 'suicide' and every minute there are more and more posts, mostly from teenaged girls, getting bullied and threatening to kill themselves.

Some posts are very detailed and graphic, many feature suicide notes, many have pictures of their means of suicide, there are many very graphic and bloody pictures of deep cutting...

I've been messaging every person who makes a disturbing post over the last hour as many kind words as I can and a few girls replied saying they were glad I messaged them and it did make them feel a little better. However one girl said thank you for the kind words but I'm only trying to delay the inevitable and she's killing herself tonight.

Some may be a cry for attention, but I do believe that if just ONE of these posts is real, it's a life worth saving.

However, Tumblr limits the amount of Asks you can do in an hour (a way of asking a blogger a question, the only means of messaging them) and I've hit this limit.

Now I can't help anyone for the next hour. I emailed Tumblr about expanding my ask limit in order to help people but haven't heard back.

Here's a link to the suicide tag on Tumblr. It's quite disturbing.

I've also contacted various Suicide foundations to see if they monitor and reach out to people on Tumblr, but the more help the better.

Please, help say some nice words to people being bullied. Even if it's them bullying themselves.

You can beat yourself up over it or accept that their lives are not your responsibility. Lots of people die, lots of people kill themselves, lots of people you've never met and never will no matter how far you roam the planet.

You're just adding problems to your own life.

Seriously?

I never said a word when I tried at 16. I'm just really glad I failed. (Because I woke up and realized I didn't want to die so I got help for myself before it was too late. Close call.)

If more people kill themselves, maybe the collective genepool of the world population will improve.

Suicide is the ultimate act of selfishness, and is often done just to spite people around the "victim". You know how I'd feel if my sister killed herself right now? I'd wonder why in the [censored] she was sad enough to do something like that, and yet seemed to give no consideration for anybody else's feelings. I'd hate her for doing it.

Why do people think these people committing suicide are unintelligent?

The smartest person in the world can have one bad day that ruins everything.

OP I think you're wasting your time. The people who really are going to commit suicide will just do it without hanging around on the internet waiting for replies. The rest are just attention seeking emos and self-harmers who aren't going to be cured by some random message on Tumblr. If you want to help people your time would be better spent elsewhere.

Also, you should help change this culture we have where people are called 'pussies' for being wracked with emotional anguish, likely because they were damaged by their upbringing or by other things they had little control over at the time.

And that's alllllll that needs to be said about that.
