It's sad that no one cares about people until they're dead. Imagine if people cared about living, suicidal people as much as they did about those who died by suicide. Imagine if, instead of spending all their energy mourning someone who ctb'd due to terrible situations in their lives, they could use that energy to help fix those situations while those people were still alive. I agree that there are not enough resources for people who were abused. Millions of dollars are spent on anti-suicide measures, like constructing barriers on bridges and posting signs with the suicide hotline written on them, but those are just quick fixes, like putting a band-aid over a gaping wound. It might stop people from ctb'ing at that very moment, but unless the problems in their lives are fixed, they'll probably end up ctb'ing later using some other method. Rather than spending so much time and using so many resources to inhumanely trap people in painful, unbearable lives, people should put more effort into making life better and less painful so people don't feel the need to ctb in the first place. But no one does that- they just put no effort into making our lives a little more bearable, and instead create this painful situation that we're not even allowed to leave. As long as the world remains this way, we have the right to leave lives that are painful and that no one tries to fix. People are focusing all their energy on the wrong side of the problem
