why does one need a full website to show how to commit suicide, it's easy if one really wants to do it.

that's a cry for help actually but no help with be forthcoming.

Most suicide attempts fail. Almost any med you can get your hands on isn't lethal. People survive shooting themselves in the head. Even jumping off a 15 story building is potentially survivable as immortalized in the Mighty Joe Plum song.

What if my weight wasn't enough to kill me,
What if I were sticky enough to walk the ceiling...
