Perhaps, but do you have a problem with my asking?

Idk but your life is valuable and there is no need to end it. Also if you figure the world wont even be around when you are 50 why cut it short, you could live your life till then and it ends due to climate disaster or nucler war anyways...so you can keep living and that'll do you in someday.
Idk death is the inevideble, many life experiences are things you may experience and things to miss out on, so why not live as long as possilble to experiece all the things you can...it will all end someday so may as well at least get something out of it.
This is what I was going to say.

But, if she feels suicidal then she doesn't want to wait to see how life turns out. And Blabby was right...people in this situation want to be heard, not advised. Advice just feels like someone correcting them, which leads to more suicidal thoughts.

I was trying to hear them, but also you have to wait and see how it turns out. I tried to kill myself when I was 15, I don't want to correct them I just don't want them to succeed at the mistake I almost made when I was a teen. Killing yourself is not worth it...

^I don't necessarily disagree with the advice in this thread, I'm just not sure if that's what she needs now. Especially with a winky face. We may as well say, "Try suffering less "
But, lostonearth35 can speak for herself.

well they need some input to know they aren't alone, not to agree with their ideas of killing themself. Suffering is real but suicide is usually not the answer.

Sometimes people do want advice.
It is not binary, that is why I asked.
