Then what are they supposed to do??? They can't put up personalized messages to certain individuals all over the school so of course they'll be generic but it's better than nothing, no? It's the responsibility of those close to the suicidial people to tell them things that actually makes them feel like they matter.
It's worse than nothing. It's alienating for a suicidal person to see and it gives other people the idea that these are helpful and caring things to say to a suicidal person. A lot of times when people ask the people close to them for help, they get these same cliches repeated back to them.
IIN I feel suicide awareness week is patronizing to those wanting suicide?

I just remembered a quote from one of the posters: "Choose happy." That is one of most stupid things someone could tell a person with depression.
