Oh, I completely concur. I've seen sisters try to do it (the girl wasn't suicidal, she just had LOTS of issues) and it ended up taking a huge toll on them. Just saying that you need to contact the source that will do the most help at YOUR institution, and if your institution doesn't have one, go to the community. If I'd been in that situation and someone called Pubic Safety on me, I probably wouldn't have been able to stop laughing at the concept of them providing any sort of mental or physical help. (Then again, I guess that might have made me not suicidal anymore if I laughed that much.)
