How do you help a friend who is on the verge of suicide? Give them a push in the right direction
This is a pretty inconsiderate joke! What exactly do you mean by the way you worded it?
It was meant as a joke. I wasn't trying to make fun of people with suicidal thoughts nor did I want to encourage anyone to do it.
It is not a great idea to make a joke about people taking their own life away. Whether your intention was to make someone laugh or not, it may be a good idea to refrain from such jokes. In our society specifically, mental health is a huge problem and is a sensitive topic in general.
