WoWsuicide

I've had a similar experience with this in the past.

I was around 14 at the time (late vanilla WoW) and I was a regular on the forums, mostly general discussion, my posts and threads weren't very wise but I felt part of the community at the time, I played WoW occasionally but I was more drawn to the forums. I was going through issues at school at the time, mostly bullying and my father passing, and thinking back on it, I should have talked to my mother sooner but , but when you're 14 and vulnerable it's a completely different world, I just wanted help and attention, without the intention of actually killing myself.

I posted on the general discussion forums asking for the quickest way to commit suicide, e.g, what pills would make it easiest, but low and behold, not 30 minutes later the thread was closed and police were at my door, I remember them walking in as my parents answered, asking if I lived here, they then spoke with my parents privately while my step-dad was speaking with me in my room, I was then called down and had to explain, police are incredibly friendly when it comes to situations like this.

I was too scared to admit to it and said that my friend had logged into my account and posted for me, however they were obviously sceptical as they didn't ask for the name of this "friend", and left after speaking with my parents again, I then told my folks everything and recieved help.

When I think back on it, it's incredibly silly.
