There is one aspect to suicide prevention that I never hear anyone talk about.
That is the fear of having one's choice taken away if they admit to thinking about suicide. For many people talking about it brings the fear of having one's freedom taken away. The worry that someone will call the cops and they'll put you in a mental hospital or a holding tank, etc. The fear that it goes on your permanent record and people will always be watching you. You may be permanently labeled "A danger to themselves".
People will keep things to themselves and go through a lot to avoid that.
It is the first time I see a comment so true about suicide ... When you admit your are suicidal to society, your greatest fear is to labelled for your entire life as unstable and be trapped into a mechanism that you do not understand but that takes your freedom away .
Geahk Burchill accurate.
+Geahk Burchill EXACTLY THIS!
I agree. Never again.
Sometimes I feel like if you have that one person who notices your mental state actually does the opposite of what the desired or expected outcome.Preventing suicide of many ppl is a tricky thing because ppl have different views on life and living in society. If one person who feels they generally trying to help that person out they may fail because the person they’re helping may take it the wrong way.
i used to be suicidal and that guy that sat alone in high school that nobody talked to but now im willing to sit down with someone no one ever talked to and be a friend with that person... i dont want anyone to feel the way i did...
Thank you so much for this.
I absolutely agree with you. I never really understood the need that some people seem to have to comment on others appearance. To pull out your cellphone in order to take a picture, just to let someone - who isn't even there know your judgmental fucking opinion about the way someone looks? that is really fucked up and pathetic. What is the big deal about shaming overweight people? I mean, they know they are overweight. It's certainly not anyone else's problem. It's just as fucked up as to shame or make fun of someone with bi-polar disorder or depression. "Shut the fuck up!" Indeed.
I LOVE how this video ends. Inspirational quotes of 2012
push past the depression even harder when its hard by doing something active, whether its through talking to people in general conversation or whatever makes you feel happy (not momentarily happy such as playing a game). I have had depression and anxiety (maybe severe I believe) although I have not seen a GP or physologist. So I have learned (for me) that if I talk more in convosations, I can feel myself getting happier and a sense of wellbeing like a snowball effect and its an amazing feeling.
I understand the affects of bullying because I was verbally bullied my whole life but killing yourself over it isn't the way, I took up martial arts and that gave me confidence in myself I never knew I had, just find something like a hobby or something you really like to get your mind off of the bullying because killing yourself isn't the answer.
You're very wise Steve. You're my hero.
I learned from an Abnormal Psych class that hope is the last line of defense. Once someone feels hopelessness, their chances of following through with suicide increases. If there is someone out there who feels like hope is lost, it is not! I promise you...there is hope out there, you gotta look deep down and find it! There is always a person out there who can give it to you.
That was super heavy at the end man, the transferrance of pain that you're experiencing onto your loved ones, that's deep Boogie
thank you, thank you ver y much. my friend has tried to take his own life several times and ive helped him overcome doing it but hes always depressed and i feel that this gives me hope that i can help him thew this tough time, so thank you :')
grade a?
Yup😀
Suicide is my favorite subject. I think about it daily. It has become apart of me over the last decade. Thanks for uploading this video.
You know you can enjoy food and get full and it not be unhealthy food right? You make it sound harder than it really is man.
And clearly you don't know what compulsive eating disorder is or what it can do to someone when paired with anxiety issues or depression.
still watching your vids in 2022. appreciate your content @boogie2988
Boogie, thank you for this. My friend just came out of the closet to his parents and friends. We were extremely good friends and so i knew first. He is part a very christian family and so was afraid to tell his parents but they are extremely supportive. He was inspired by your videos so much. So thank you,

I have gone through all of this myself, and many times have a prevented a friend from preventing suicide, and I will keep doing so until the day I die :)
I am a fairly new subscriber of yours, and I am sitting here in awe of this video. I am throughly impressed and have new found respect for you. I completely agree with everything you had to say. Thank You for taking the time to make this and I look forward to more of your content.
It's not so much hope than it is coping abilities. When pain outweighs your ability to cope, you'll reconsider ending your life. One could argue that coping abilities is directly correlated to hope, I'd say it's not, because you could live hopelessly but still, in a pretty miserable way, be able to cope with it.
It stops hurting so much.
I love your videos man. I think youre the first person Ive know to actually talk about this. I agree 100 %. The bit about the least compassion...Fuck I cant even describe my thoughts. I wish for everyone to watch this.
still come back to this video whenever i hit rock bottom
I have depression, I've thought about taking my life. but i'll never do it. Thank you for your beautiful words man. much love.
i have a friend that was close to suicide ones. i was not his friend when he was close to suicide, but then he discoverd videogames. He started with age of empiers and later on, other games. his life is awesome now.
for the more limited person, i meant to bound when i said separate, since i'm considerating an arithmetical exact,accurate,precise, delimitation here,meaning saying however 4x2 is equal to 2x4.
lots of love to this guy and all of the human beings that have been trough family or friends taking suicide, and to those that have ben on the edge of suicide
i had a friends commit suicide a couple years ago who i knew ever since i was a baby and the past couple years of her life she was extremely meen to me and everyone else and i said alot of realy bad things to her in retaliation without thinking she has some deeper problems... i know first hand what its like to be that person who makes it worse on someone who commits suicide and i can tell you its the worst feeling in the world so everyone please listen to what this man is telling you
Don't even think about it at that age, there's so many kids that try to commit suicide nowadays its not even funny, i'm not even old, I'm 18 but I can vouch for sure that you have a whole life ahead of you, you will find that special someone who actually cares for you as themselves. as long as you try and fight on you can become anything you want, except maybe a goat, that's impossible.
You're a good man Boogie. You always helped me through rough times. Thank you.
we need more people like you in this world thanks for being here to open up the subject
i am only 13 all most 14 and i have almost killed myself twice, but the reason i am still hear is because of friends not my family but friends that i talk to everyday that i see everyday. and then there is u boogie i watch ur videos everyday one that make me laugh and ones that are serious they r amazing. ur a good person
PREACH IT BOOGIE - You should be the reverant in the "Church of Kindhearted Atheists" !!!!
Wow, another surprisingly heartfelt vid. I only subscribed the other day, very glad I did! Keep up the good work, the world needs more people like you x
I found if you push past the Depression, anxiety by speaking to people etc then you will see the brightside. Just try it for one day and you'll see.
Im that kid who never gets talked to.
Ive felt like ending my life meny a time.
But just gotta remember theirs people who have a worse life.
i know what its like, ive tried to commit suicide also, even now im not ok i try to suppress my depressive though but all i want to do all day is lay in bed and die, but im not letting that stop me im currently working hard on a college course and i may get into uni :) just keep on going life gets better.
Love everything about this. Thank you so much.
Well boogie u probably wont read this my friend but i just hope that in some way u see this u are my hero im overweight and im having tons of problems in my life youtube and gaming is the only thing that keeps em happy u are the person i want to be i want to get healthy and be an intelligent person. Finally may i say that u will never have to lose hope or feel alone because i know my fellow fans know in our hearts that we are with u and will always be a wall protecting u
There are times when I think to myself, if I was gone tomorrow, how different would the world actually be. My mother and sister would cry I'm sure ( only family I have left ) my gf would be right with them, though with her I'm sure it wouldn't be near as bad as with my family. outside of those 3 people, perhaps a hand full of people I know maybe speaking on how its a shame ..nothing will change nothing will be any different. Its that cold truth that keeps me around while I can be.
Yea cuz everybody hurts and we cant ever give up on ourselfs
Yes... but that .9 adds up to 1.8 every 30 minutes. It's still statistically relevant over a long period of time.
I hope you know that you're a great speaker. It's a talent not given to many people.
I remember going to a Christian school here in Sweden when I was 14. There was a gamer there who was the subject of comments by the younger, laughing girls. I remember seeing his arms under his sweater one time; all cut open by the wrist. It's a fucked up world we live in.
Best thing... ignore them. and you'll gain their respect.
I am now friends with the bullies from freshmen year in collage, intellect is superior to physical might.
Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. Don't fear the ads.
Many ppl would do everything to live again.
Life is made for living, not killing yourself.
Life isnt a game
I've been suicidal off-and-on for almost 5 years now. I keep finding small things to live for - movies I want to see, streamers, new episodes of shows I like, etc.
It really doesn't get better for everyone, though. I'm not that naive.
One other "little moment" (escapism) is being present to the moment, which is the state of non-thinking. It happens when you are checking if you're breathing/focusing intensely on inhaling and exhaling...which calms you down...look up "the power of now" by éckartole and look up "present to the moment rsdfreetour"
Stress and responsibilities... sigh
same
I always like your videos where you talk about sensitive topics, your intelligent, insightful and very empathetic.
We need people like boogie2988.
TotalDeuce world would collapse
A very smart man ! Good Guy Francis !
Message from Switzerland ;)
His name is actually Steven
"Shut the FUCK up!" I got goosebumps...
Don't Judge him he is an incredible guy.
If you've ever contemplated suicide before always just give yourself another day. What do you have to lose?

One of the things I have always thought of that prevented me from ever really seriously considering suicide is how completely selfish it is. How you word it at the end there is a perfect representation of what is happening. Thanks for spreading the word.
I heard from a friend that some of your videos like this were demonetized. (Maybe this was one of them.) By that, I come to think that UA-cam is promoting suicide and self-half. How many people do you think this video has helped? I think this video has saved dozens, if not hundreds, of lives and i thank you for that. So UA-cam, why are you doing this? These videos are HELPING PEOPLE. They are SAVING PEOPLE. UA-cam, you better fix this whole mess you've made, because I, personally, am disgusted by what you've done. boogie, we all appreciate what you and other tubers like you do, so please, don't stop.
Amen
You,yes you, I like you. You are a good man.
All of your responses are showing exactly what is wrong with this world. Why is rage all the rage nowadays?
Great video mate.
LOVE YOUR VIDS BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR AWESOME!
No! For me it has and never will get better! I have attempted twice third time WILL be a charm! I have heard the crap "temporary solution to permanent problem" HELLO???!!! What if problem is permanent???? I have seen over 20 "professionals" all that did was help pay for their luxury homes

thanks for response---can I pm you-email, etc???
Suicide is not something can control. But, few have overcome their minds to listen their hearts. Hearts don't stop beating. See the movie "The Patroits" starring Mel Gibson. One brave's family lost his wife & a child boy. He immediately pulled the trigger to his brain. The Preacher tried to explained to him "Time is for mourn." The World stop every time there is a suicide. I'm glad I see the Sun every morning. Always there to comfort me. & the Rock is my Hope.
Your video helped me a lot. I have fifteen and I have a pretty low self-estime. It's difficult for me to talk to other people. I have only like 8 friends and never had a girlfriend. If It wasn't because of my family, I wouldn't be in this world anymore
You are one of best youtubers and people I've ever seen.
Suicide prevention is ineffective, I am sorry. What really need to know is how our current society plays a big role in the increase of suicide rate.
I'm too much of a coward to commit suicide, I know it would hurt the people around me more than myself, my birthday and Christmas is the worst times for me.
I don't get why haters even take the time to say bad things I have respect for this man he has wery good opinions he's a man you can trust keep's you updated on himself and gaming
The last time I was severely depressed it was because I was in love with someone that broke up with me and I felt I couldn't move on with my life. I thought everything you can think of that is encouraging and heard what people said. It didn't help. I listened to break up songs and had a pity party. Tried to fake it like I was all better, and I was in pain inside. I am over them enough to live my life, but I still miss them and wonder about them sometimes. But yeah life has ups and downs.
I want to fall off the edge this girl up my hopes it’s not a good feeling
Amazing man, I re watched the last 3 min like 5 times. found myself not breathing...that was really powerful and I hope more people will Shut the fuck up and help.
I’m really glad you decided to stay here boogie
i've been at that point several times in high school especially after a classmate of mines committed suicide. good going in bringing up the subject. there are people who want to talk about it and needs encouragement. Life IS worth living.
Thank you. Just thank you.

Suicide isnt always bad
How come
yo.... its The one and only Mr"z
Thank you for the video , Boogie
Well said boogie or should i say Steve? I I'm willing to help those around me, I'm not from America were i haven't seen any of this awareness, but I've tried to tell spread this month around the internet a bit. Ive never been Depressed, i have been bummed out a few times, but i also get insulted just because I'm a "Ginger", people make jokes of which i accept and find it funny too, but its the point when people are hating me and are disrespecting me for it. As boogie says "Shut the Fuck Up!
Watching this in 2023 and the fact that the suicide rate is higher is so fucking sad.
the theory of law of attraction is that instead of wanting, put your energy into what you wish for, feel how you would feel if you had it, the fact you had no hope left at these phases was like an energy slingshot when you saw your newly found chances of grasping what you have now, the source of energy you positively felt attracted these experiences into your life, in turn allowing you to perform what you once couldn't to achieve them, see what I mean here? :)
Great video. I really like the part about transference of pain. I had never heard it put that way but it is true. I have told people that talked about suicide, what about your family? What about the people you care about? Do you want to do this to them? I had never really thought of it as a transference of pain but you are right.
Wise words man. My 15 year old cousin shot himself about 7 months ago. I still don't know why... I was there while the cleanup crew was there for 17 hours listening to them remove the walls and carpet and I still haven't slept well since. I can't believe people in the comments still don't take this stuff seriously.
I won't lie...I have thought about it, and I still do sometimes...but honestly..a few things have stopped me.
A: My mom has done a lot for me...and I never want to make her cry tears of sadness. That has stopped me.
B: I refuse to quit. When Death comes for me...whenever that is, I will punch the bastard in the throat as he drags me away.
i can honestly say magic mushrooms saved my life
I commented before I got to the end...
Boogie...you fucking rock! People really do need to shut the fuck up about shit that doesn't affect their lives...at all.
If you don't like gay marriage, don't fucking get gay married. End of story.
I am that kid who nobody talks to. I am fine though, people will be jerks. I have learned to just ignore them. :3 This is why I am subscribed to you, you are a great person.
You never lost hope, and you evolved into hope for so many other people. Know that, be proud of it and wear that pride as a badge of honour...You earned it
Pain is weakness leaving the body.
How?
My uncle just died, He killed himself, Due to financial troubles. I wish he hadn't. But hes in a better place now. Thank you Boogie.
you blow my mind, like.. youve actually made me see EVERYTHING differently and more positively. youre such an inspirational person
I think that if didn't enjoy bullying, ridiculing, and harassing other people, they probably wouldn't choose to do it. People are assholes.
Fucking brilliant. *claps*
My father disappeared a lot after he left home. We sort of got used to it, sometimes he'd be away for many weeks at a time and we could not get into contact with him. Eventually we got kinda sick and tired of it and gave up trying to get in contact with him.
However the day he killed himself, it was completely different. I don't think you should use that example as to think "They don't care about you". I hope as a father you won't put your family through the crap mine went through.
This Video is So Heartwarming.Thank You Steve if I can just say something what pisses me off is whenever people don't except gays or lesbians so What?.If They like the opposite Sex leave them alone if their happy with someone that's a gay or lesbian then leave them alone,People treat them like they don't belong in this world,but the truth is their just normal people too,They just like different things to you is that so wrong?.I rest my case gays and lesbians should be accepted and have just as
Suicide is categorized in three main ways, the individual either enters a situation impossible to exit in hopes of saving others (Sacrfice), the individual doesn't share the same goal as society and thus kills themselves as they feel useless in some way or the other, and lastly the individual can't cope with a huge change that took place in their life, and ultimately self destructs, sometimes killing others and themselves. It's an interesting topic, peoples minds are a fascinating thing.
My girlfriend and I have been together for about 6 mounts now and she recently told me about her past and how she was Bi and dealt with very similar problems like feeling different and all those horrible things the mind can pull on an individual. For those who are going through a similar fault in their life remember you are who you are and really no one should tell you differently :) it sure effected me to know this about the one i loved
It`s your job if you care about that person and if you have a little bit of simpathy, even you`ll just try to help someone, to make a difference, but also that person who your talking to and tryin` to help, must help you, must open herself for you, so you could do something about her problems. And if that person is just stubborn and won`t listen, that`s her problem, but it`s still nice thing to show up your good will...that`s all.
There are christian churches (whole churches) that get up and sing "Aint no homo gonna make it to heaven", and there are divisions of churches with different beliefs. A lot of those beliefs are actually hate filled. That's why Dig is a good christian who only believes in Jesus and his teachings. Hate religion, not christianity Amen.
Dont know how many times I say what i do for this topic but I am ignored so much I have grown to careless anymore I have saved more lives then I have counted I been into suicide prevention for well over 20 years and connected to a michigan group which I wont mention....no one cares either way. I have told you this boogie....
People had protested agained Chic-Fil-A because the owner says he thinks homosexuality is wrong. The thing is, people ASKED him what he thought about homosexuality, then protested because they didn't like his answer. The gays were in the wrong in that scenario.
i agree with you boogi, but sometimes people have to be strong for themselves people are not allways gonna be able to help, and before i get jumped on by people i have been depressed all my life, i suffer from bi polar depression and have attempted suicide 3 time, so do know what im on about :P
