In all honesty the idea of "Suicide Prevention Week" or "Suicide Awareness" is simply stupid, no one is gonna decide "Hey! There is a suicide prevention week, I should go talk with someone about my problems!", and with today's teenage society no one will think "Damn what if that kid I joke about is gonna kill them self? I should be nice to them!", or someone's parents thinking "Hey what if me and my ex's divorce is having a really big impact on our kid's life? I should talk to them about this serious issue! Thanks suicide prevention week!".

To me it's one of those things that gets some applause for the thought but really does absolutely nothing. And now that think about it, I have never even heard of this. No one has mentioned it at my school, no parents know about it, it isn't in the newspaper. And trust me bullying and suicide isn't a rare thing where I live, the district actually requires all schools to participate in an "anti-bully" program, which as a side-note also does nothing to solve any problems involving suicide and or bullying.
