Hello shining17: Well... the Skeezyks is not in any position of authority here on PC. So my comments are simply my personal opinion.

Suicide is, in fact, frequently mentioned in posts here on PC. It is a sad fact-of-life (ironically) when one is talking about mental illness. But I think the idea here is simply that what is not okay is to write posts that overtly threaten suicide or state that it is one's intention to commit suicide. It is also not acceptable for members to discuss specifics with regard to how one might go about committing suicide.

For one thing these kinds of discussions can be triggering for other members who might also be struggling. But, beyond that, anyone who is overtly suicidal needs real-life help. There is no way we here on PC can provide this. And while it might be possible for one to argue that suicide might be the best option for some, we here on PC are about the business of supporting one another... not facilitating our final exits.
