How should you respond if a friend makes a joke about "killing themself" "kms" or "that's my 13th reason"?
Ask them what they mean by that statement. Remind them that suicide is not something to be joking about and misusing that language can be very harmful.
If they meant it in a serious manner, talk to them about resources.
True or false: The appropriate terminology is "they committed suicide"
FALSE, it is more appropriate to say "died by suicide"
extra: an "unsuccessful attempt" is better described as a "nonlethal attempt"
