Suicide in SecondLife
This is not my favourite topic, but it needs to be addressed. Thankfully I haven't had a call for help in ages.
From time to time, people in Second-Life will get into a chat and make a gut-wrenching statement, such as; "I am going to commit suicide".
As hard as this sounds, the best thing anyone can do is not get involved. You are not sitting anywhere near the person, you are not qualified to deal with it, you may say something that makes the situation worse.
The best thing you can do is tell them to log-off and call a support organisation.
The links below are information websites, no doubt there are more.
