if i call a suicide hotline, will it show up on the phone bill, and can they track my phone number?

Question

are they allowed to track my number and tell my parents or have me put in the psych ward (for the second time)?

Answer 1

There are people who simply drift along, searching for somewhere they belong to in this world. Looking for a place to call their own, they want to know where they stand in life. Years go by, but the answers might still be unknown to them, even til their very last breath on their deathbeds. Maybe that's what this journey called life is all about.

But living life is never a waste. When we have somebody to love and something to hope for, we learn to embrace the true beauty of life. Cherish every moment of your life because once it's gone, it will never come back. Sometimes you miss it so badly that it hurts inside.

Answer 2

They probably won't know it's a suicide hotline. You could call from someone else's phone, or use a public phone? It won't show up if you use a house phone either (unless they ask for a record, I think) And also I'm sure if you look around there are suicide forums on the internet.

Answer 3

I worked on a suicide/crisis line. They do NOT track your number and preserve your privacy. If you call over and over again, they may have a "card" on you which helps the workers help you, but they will never call you UNLESS you are in imminent danger (such as having a gun to your head) and you hang up. Their job is to save your life, by talking you down if at all possible (and they will do EVERYTHING possible to help you) and intervening in some other manner ONLY when you are apparently going to hurt yourself now.

Answer 4

if u dont like something in your life then change it
change can be the best thing that ever happened to u
do u have family problems or whatever just try and get emergency assistance and they'll help u get your own place
whatever it is there's a answer and someone to help just dont be afraid to ask for it

if u want to call them then go to a payphone
i think they will only trace it if u seem like your actually going to kill your self on the phone

but there is nothing in this world worth killing your self over
no guy or best friend or family
in time i hope u learn to be your own best friend

take care

No, they are not allowed to track your number. You can remain anonymous if you choose. If you feel insecure about that simply call from a payphone. These hotlines are toll free.

Good luck and remember that there are people that love you.

Answer 7

It matters. If you're a minor, yes, they'll probably tell your parents unless you tell them not to or if they are an anonymous service. Yes, they probably can check your number.
