Take All Suicide Threats Seriously
I disagree because rule #1 of suicide threats is that you must
treat each one seriously, regardless of age or professed reasons
for inflicting self-harm.
She Could Be Unstable
The best example of this is people with Borderline Personality
Disorder. These people are naturally very unstable due to a skewed
outlook on interpersonal relationships. They will threaten, and
often attempt, suicide over things that seem nickel-dime to everyone
else. Often when they harm themselves, it ends up being non-fatal,
and serves as a means to attract attention.
However, sometimes people can go too far and end up actually harming
themselves very seriously, or even ending their own life.
You can NEVER simply disregard a threat like this.
