Sick of the suicide notes on Yahoo?!


Question: I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of flak for this but it has become so annoying. Everytime I log on, some melodramatic individual is saying they're going kill themselves or asking how to do it and what people think about it.

It's incredibly disturbing and morbid to boot. I think it should stop. It's such an imposition. I'm sorry they're suicidal, but there are better ways to get help. It's like they don't even think about the people who go on here as a pleasurable pass time and how they feel when they inadvertently end up reading these notes.

Is anybody else sick and tired of the Yahoo mods not screening these questions more carefully? I honestly think this is inappropriate and should be against the rules.

Oh, and if you're just going to spew a bunch of insulting crap at me than don't bother answering because I couldn't care less what you think of me.

If they wanted to end their life they would of, they wouldn't of been typing out...they just need that sort of attention. I get sick of it, unless if they are that serious. But I end up telling them that is isn't worth it. Then I guess I say if they make threats, I'm sure someone will report this & delete their question. I just don't get why they even bother. Plus its usually the same people doing it over & over again saying the same stuff. Okie, I think I said too much here.

I tried to send you a personal message but it wouldn't let me. :( Report It

  • Consider it freedom of speech. You have to go to certain sections in general to see these notes. And these kinds of individuals probably need some sort of help but aren't at the point that they can or will get it.

    Give them a break. It is annoying and desperate I agree but it provides a break of tension for them.

    They are young. Let them vent. You have the freedom to do it now. Be fair.

    Stay out of the mental health category. If you have no compassion for others, don't go there.

    I'm just as sick of the "I'm extremely fat but like hot women" and "I'm 12 years old with a 16 inch penis" threads as well. It's like the same two people continue to repost the same stupid questions. If people would quit answering them maybe they'd stop.

    Dude, they are reaching out. Mostly, they need attention and are not suicidal. Suicidal people tend to attempt suicide, not post on Y/A, but maybe that's not always the case. Anyway, I ignore them because I know 25 ppl will respond telling them to call 911 or a crisis line. As for banning, gee, get real. You apparently get to live in a safe cacoon and your life must be pretty damn ideal. Ah, yes, selfish is the word that comes to mind.

    very tired of it,...in my mean spirited-nasty sense of humor world, i would hope that YA could have a subgroup for EMO types

    THIS FRIDAY NIGHT SOMEONE WAS ON HERE THAT WAS GOING TO COMMIT SUICIDE AT THAT PARTICULAR MOMENT,THERE WAS NO WAY OUT AND NO ONE TO TALK TO. I DID RESPOND AND GIVE AN 800 NUMBER LIKE I HAVE BEFORE BUT YOU NEVER HERE WHAT HAPPENED IN THESE CASES OR IF THERE REALLY SERIOUS....THE YAHOO NOTES I'M SICK OF IS SAYING SOMEONES DEAD TO GET YOU TO ANWSER A QUESTION THAT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED YEASTERDAY THERE WAS ONE ZAC EFRON WAS DEAD THATS DISGUSTING........I
