Would this be a good book for one of my friends who is suicidal? She is 15 years old? Please advise!! Jessica

One it make them aware that if they kill them selfs than they will hurt all kinds of people, people will be in pain so they will not want to do it if it will hurt people especially their loved ones. But on the other hand they might not even care if they hurt people so... its a debating situation, but it also depends on why they are suicidal and how far do they go with the situation. next year I should be a freshman, and I know people say that this isn't a good book for a suicidal or depressed person, well if I go by my own experience I disagree with that statement, I have severe bi poler depression and anxiety and this helped me realize that if I were to disappear it would not help, because I would hurt so many people and I would rather not hurt my loved ones. So my concluding answer is yes, I would let her read it, but tell her to only read it in front of people, like in public. (less)
