I imagine a lot of people have after you've persisted trying to converse with them

Or they've certainly given serious consideration

Can't think of very many. One girl in the grade below me did during high school. She was an Asian girl born with a mild deformity who got bullied and I guess couldn't overcome the depression from all that. Very sad. There was another girl in middle school who'd always post on Myspace and Facebook about wanting to die, self harming and doing drugs as early as 11 years old. She ended up getting hit by a car and killed, but I always wondered if she deliberately walked into the road.

The rest of my friends/classmates who died at their own hands did so from OD'ing on drugs. Almost certainly not on purpose.

Just one. He was the brother of a friend from school and I only knew him causally, but he was a typical story of a messed up kid who kept getting in trouble in High School with drugs and stupid shit. He came from an upper middle class family, too.

He was around 28 when he just shot himself back in the early 2000's. My sister knew him better and she said he was just mentally ill.

Cousin killed himself earlier this month
Good friend from highschool killed himself a few years ago

That’s not including people who’ve indirectly killed themselves by succumbing to their vices slowly but deeply knowing it was going to result in their death

My father roped back in 83 . Also his coworker roped many years before that . I knew a guy who put a gun to the roof of his mouth in an attempt to suicide himself over a sloot . He wasn’t successful and he just popped an eye out .
I met an audio file friend of mines brother . We were building a subwoofer enclosure and we invited him over for a beer . He introduced himself but took off b4 I could grab him a beer , and I think it was a day or two later and he roped .
We had a young sloot working at a gas station in town who had a pretty nice figure . Mind blown when I found out she roped . They found her hanging from a tree in the morning but was still alive but brain dead . I think she dieded soon afterwards when they pulled the plug .
I knew this awesome transmission specialist. My mind was blown when the owner of the shop said he had shot himself . They don’t think he self terminated, but his sloot shot him while he was asleep and got away with it .
I also knew a really cool dude that painted vehicles. As usual he showed no signs of depression , but I come by the body shop and they tell me he had shot himself .

Probably think of a few more later
Back with my Fam

2 that were directly suicide. One pill overdose and another hung themselves.

Sometimes I think some heroin/fentanyl overdoses that result in death are passive suicides. Not all but some.

Some kid in 10th grade gassed himself, didn't really know him but we got two days off school then another if we wanted to attend the funeral

A business associate roped in a warehouse he was holding stock in; bragged to everyone about how much he was making and turned out he was full of shit and owed tens of thousands in taxes plus was defaulting on his home loan and credit cards - couldn't get off the booze or stop partying

Ex-employee left me, travelled the for a year with his gf then ended it when she left him after the money ran out

Mother had a friend who roped after they were diagnosed with a treatable cancer, wtf

Very close friend of mine got close after his ex wife took their daugher and made his life hell - when his daughter said she wanted to live with him, then it was revealed she wasn't biologically his despite being conceived and born when they were married it strengthened his resolve and now he lives for that kid, who wants nothing to do with her mother or whoever the fuck her father is (we both have suspicions he's part of our friendship group but there's no smoking gun - yet...)

When I was 19 I moved into a group home. The staff members were all psyche majors at the local university. They had a psychology professor who wanted them to spit in someone’s food and document the results. They would spit in my food without my permission and forge my signature on paperwork that legitimized what they were doing. They couldn’t graduate unless they took this class. 

They didn’t think it was wrong to spit in my food, but they said they would be outraged if someone did that to them. I made it very clear to them that I wouldn’t allow them to do this, but they did it anyways, hundreds of times. I was on probation and my female probation officer wouldn’t allow me to move out, so I got three write-ups and got kicked out.

About 5 or 6 months after I moved out, I contacted a judge I knew and she interviewed the professor and some of the students who had spit in my food. He got prison time, and the students had their class they took with him revoked from their records, so they would have to re-take the class. Some of those students had already graduated, so they would have to go back and re-take the class. Some of them committed suicide because of this.

They were supposed to do it without the person knowing, then tell them and document their reaction. They didn’t follow these rules, they would spit in my food right in front of me.
