    1. Some of these comments are incredibly insensitive and undermine the work that’s being done toward prevention. You should consult someone with experience with prevention and remove the “slogans” that could be harmful to someone that is seeking help.

      1. Thank you so much Sarah for your feedback. Really appreciate it. I have gathered these slogans from multiple sources, and I really didn’t mean to hurt anyone’s feelings. I have removed some of the slogans that may have sounded harsh. Please do let me know if you still feel that any slogan is insensitive.

        I have purposely not made any changes in the quotes & sayings section as I wanted to showcase the diverse set of opinions related to this topic.

    2. Fuck you. This article made my want to kill myself even more. How about you loose the spiritual agenda & focus on quality over quantity. No one thinking about killing themselves to end the pain is going to reconsider because you tell them “god says no”. Fuckin cunts.
