Today EDIT: Friday at 11:45am a 10th grader attempted suicide at my school. :EEK: People were panicking and laughing at the same time. Kind of sad knowing that people at the school i go to would encourage him to do it. While he was on the edge of the building he yelled something about his dad and wanting to die. The schools employees saved him but he still resisted their help.This made me think for a moment. Would people really do this,and especially in public? Was he doing it for attention? He's done this before since my dad had to get him out of this twice. The building i can tell you was higher than one story
(maybe 2-3 stories). He got on the ledge by climbing out of a window in a classroom.Obviously he did that when a teacher wasn't in there.

a) Depression in a person of that age is 99% of the time, hormonal, and due entirely to puberty. I had a less-extreme depression when I was around 15, but it went away as I started to grow up.

b) In the case Agro presented, the person was depressed, and was not doing this for attention.

c) Any attempted suicide that is done in public, like the one presented in the first post is 100% of the time, done to get attention. Maybe the person is not being a dumbass, and sees this as the only way to get help. Maybe the person is just whining, and wants people to notice him. I can't for certain say, but it was DEFINITELY done to get attention, and the person very likely had no intention of actually committing suicide.

In the case presented in the first post, how high was the building.
A person can survive even a 5-story fall. A person can also die from a 1-story fall though, and is more likely to, as they can control the way they land. Not a smart way to attempt suicide jumping off of a medium height building.

Did the person go to the ledge, and wait for people to come and try to stop him?

You can die by falling off a 5 story building OR 1 story building depending on if you want to or not. Its just the action you take that matters.

I am suicidal at times, but that is mostly mood swings combined with my mild schizophrenia. Rarely did I ever carry out my thoughts, perhaps only once did it come close to a serious attempt, but I stopped myself, as my principles dictate suicide is a selfish and lazy path. No one deserves death. They are only granted it.

Yeah, I know a few guys who have committed suicide before. They didn't do it in public, because a person who is really going to kill themselves almost never tells anyone about it.
Either way, because of the fact that he did it in public, his life is gonna change drastically, and probably for the worse.

I actually saw a man on top of a building once and he jumped and died. It's sad, and what was really scary is that everyone kept taking photos of the dead body and they never bothered calling an ambulance.

These suicide cases aren't rare. There is a news here in my country where one suicide in a memorial park due to something I forgot. He barely survived because the gunshot didn't reached to his heart and was declared as DOA... But that wasn't depression.

Depressed people that I know about slash their wrists with something sharp. But didn't plan to suicide. If I got depressed or sad, I don't think that kind of thing. I just think of something more livelier to remove that in my mind and continue things like normal.

In my personal opinion, I think it's this. I have a suicide story (not about me), but it's gonna turn into a wall of text.
