hey, just a reminder that holding suicide over someone’s head is emotional abuse. if you have someone who tells you that they’ll kill themselves if you leave them, if you stop talking to them, if you do something they do not want you to do, that is abuse- and you have every right to get out of that situation.

Guys i’m asking for a HUGE favor.
One of my good friends is planning on committing suicide. I tried to convince her that suicide isn’t the answer, and I hope she listens. I want to show her that people care, even people she doesn’t know. So can you please reblog this if you care? Please. I’m begging you guys. Later I’m going to screenshot this and show it to her. It won’t kill you to have this on your blog, and you could be saving someone’s life.
Just in case.
