As seeing as some have other opinions I am posting this here.

In my opinion it is not okay to tell someone to kill themselves or even support someone who does..

Debate here :>

Im... Idk. All over the place with this. I think anyone who realizes the impact telling someone to off themselves can have, is against doing so. But in a joking manner as long as its blatanly not serious, is sometimes alright. BUT ONWARD
I can't even stand when someone who has commited suicide is publicized. I understand the family mourning and wanting support, but when things go viral, like Amanda Todd for example(bad example lol), I can't stand it. All that does is show already depressed young people that commiting suicide can make them famous. They already want to off themselves, don't give them more of a reason to lol.
Telling someone to kill themselves in a serious manner is extremely harmful to many people. Its not right D:

No, it's not okay and it never will be for any reason.

I don't like hearing people say things like that in any manner. You can always say something else or just stay quiet, it's not right to tell someone that they should be dead.

No, its never okay. If someone is harassing you or whatever, telling them to kill themselves is never okay. Two wrongs don’t make a right. If its two friends who know they are both joking that’s different but I feel like you shouldn’t joke that way with someone in a public place where people can read. People become brave behind a screen

seeing as how i'm a really sensitive person, it's never okay to tell someone to kill themselves. even if it's a joke. i guess for me it's bc suicide is not something that is even remotely funny. i also knew people that passed away because they committed suicide, which makes it sort of a touchy subject for me already. i don't even understand how people can talk about suicide jokingly. is it like :

"hey, listen to this song. do you like it?"

"wat omg nO ur stupid sit down n kill yourself haha jk"

because i don't find that funny at all.
but i guess it depends on the people you talk too. everyone has a different sense of humor, so some people may understand that being told to kill themselves as a joke is funny, while others won't.
but telling someone to kill themselves and genuinely meaning it is horrible.
