Reply to comment by Thatswhyirun in TIL in response to infamously high suicide rates at Mapo Bridge in Seoul, South Korea, the bridge was adorned with suicide prevention messages and uplifting photos. These measures weren't enacted by the government, however, instead the entire project was financed by Samsung's life insurance division by evilclownattack

I'm glad you're still here with us.

I was taught in a class to not say "commit suicide" as committing is similar to committing a sin or crime and it's important not to stigmatize the topic. They said it's important to ask, "are you planning on ending your life?" or something similar. The point is to make it normal to discuss it so help can be given.
