99 times out of 100, the person is contemplating it and might commit it. I never called that number, but I had an attempt back when I was 19. The hotline has helped many people, and maybe just being there shows people that they are not alone.

Don't underestimate this service, or the people who call it or don't call it.

Again, these are your views and not universal truths.
I was the same age when I tried too and glad I failed at it or I wouldn't be typing this. I took a good amount of pain meds and was rushed to the hospital to drink this horrible charcoal mixture(saved my life). Turned my life around shortly after and started hustling online to make money which helped me feel better about myself. Finally got to a point in life where I'm at now where I can just chill, I still have to hustle some to make ends meet.
because when you are determined to do something, you are not going to call someone who is the complete antithesis to what you are trying to do to get them to change your mind.
Suicide prevention hotlines have saved the life of a relative of mine twice. I would suggest you speak to those who have actually used them.
This comment just shows your real colors, no wonder you opened an ignorant thread like this.
