it actual relies upon on the form you write it. somewhat a on the same time as in the past, a author wrote a e book approximately 18 hours in Dublin eire. It merely follows what 2 characters do during the day that they meet one yet another and type a father-son bond. it is seen to be between the suitable novels ever written. (Ulysses) you could now examine the Twilight sequence and spot how some thing that could have been somewhat reliable became out to be trash (even with the all the e book sales). In 5 years or greater, it rather is going to likely be: "The Twilight sequence? Oh yeah. Wasn't Kristen Stewart in contact with an actor who worked along with her in that?" So. bypass to paintings and spot what you're able to do. it rather is not any longer what you write approximately, it is how clean and new it rather is going to seem to the reader. there's a author who in all fairness nicely usual who collects clippings from the newspaper to apply as thought for writing. So the plot and tale are no longer as significant as making the reader experience it.

Of course you tell the writer. It is very rare that a suicide note is left. These things are meant to grab attention...the cliche being "a cry for help". Cliche or not, it is still a way for the person to ask for help without really "asking" for help.
Do not tell anyone else that you found the note until you talk to the person and seek professional help in your area. many places have Crisis/suicide help lines that run 24/7. You can get more info through the national suicide line at 1-800-273-8255.
Don't let this go without talking to that person...even though a suicide note is rare....it does happen.
ALSO...DO NOT E-MAIL OR TALK TO ANYONE ON HERE...YOU DO NOT KNOW THESE PEOPLE AND MOST ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO MAKE THESE TYPES OF DECISIONS!!!! (yes, I was a therapist for 13 years)

Everyone has thus far answered this question by the way they were taught in school or church. Talk to this person, find out what, if anything, you can do for them. If there's apparently nothing that can be done, and the depression is just irreverseable, then the person may just want to end his/her life bad enough to do it. They should be allowed to do so. The fact that you found the note most likely means they wanted you to find it. A suicide note is not something you leave out, you hide it like you would your weed, very well. You only leave it out when you are going through with it, or you want someone to know how you feel. Please, contact me and let me talk to you or maybe even the afore mentioned person. I will help as far as I can, because I have this feeling that he'she doesn't want to do it, but yet fantasize about it. I've been there, I've fired a dud round at my temple. Changed my life. email me at joekenorer@yahoo.com or just message me. I will get back to you, I promise.

No, try to help the person without mentioning that you saw the letter, may shower that person with attention, buy a thoughtful gift, and if anything tell the person's loved ones. If you tell him/her that you found the letter, the person will think you were invading their privacy! Make sure you tell everyone else though. Tell the person that God loves him/her. Good luck!

Ignore the people who said to tell the person's parents, you'll lose their confidence and you'll never get through to them again. Talk to the person, ask them how they're feeling and if you can help with anything....If they won't tell you what's up, you may have to gently let on that you found the note...The most important thing you can do is let the person know that you are there for them.

the question is how long is the suicide letter and how the letter was written -- it tells whether the letter is fake or not.
to be safe -- confront both the writer and the family member.

Say something....before you regret not having said anything, because the writer succeeded in doing it. You can't do anything wrong....at least try to intervene....If the person does it even after you said something to him/her, do not blame yourself...instead be proud that you tried...tell this person's loved ones about what's going on, because it's them who will mourn this person for the rest of their lives....give them a chance to intervene also.

You gotta let them know how wonderful they are.
Suicide is a serious matter.
Tell them you know, and you don't want them to feel this way.
And tell the people around them (parents, boyfriend/girlfriend, siblings, etc).
This person needs a support group of loving people to tell that person just how important they are to them.
