What To Do If A Tumblr User Appears To Be Considering Attempting Or Is Going To Attempt Suicide

What To Do If A Tumblr User Appears to Be Considering Attempting Or Is Going To Attempt Suicide

The first thing you want to do is report the blog to Tumblr staff.

You can alert the Tumblr staff by sending them a quick email explaining the situation. It is critical that in your email you include a link to the user’s blog, since this way they can easily identify the user in question and contact them. But you shouldn’t solely depend on the Tumblr staff unless you have to, since there is only so much the staff can do.

Check to see if there is any way of contacting someone the user knows in real life.

If there is anyone that this user interacts with in real life (a good friend, a relative they have a positive relationship with, a colleague they have from work, etc.) that knows them and you can get in touch with (whether through Tumblr messages, email, etc, it doesn’t matter) it is essential that you contact them. Tell them that you believe the user in question is likely to attempt or is attempting to commit suicide.

If you aren’t sure how to find someone the user interacts with in real life, see *.

Continue to message the aforementioned person.

Once you’ve managed contact with the person that the user interacts with in real life and warned them that the user in question is likely to attempt or is attempting to commit suicide, stay in contact with them. It is important to tell them that they should call a suicide prevention hotline number if the user is considering suicide (1-800-273-8255 is the national suicide prevention hotline number if they live in the U.S, if they don’t click here for a vital list of all suicide hotlines for different countries (if there is no suicide prevention hotline for the user’s country see **) and tell them instead that they should go straight to calling an emergency number if the user is in immediate danger (911 if they live in the United States, and click here for a list of the emergency numbers for other countries if they live outside the U.S). What a lot of people don’t realize about most suicide prevention hotlines is that it isn’t just for people who are considering suicide, it’s also for people who believe someone they know is considering attempting and/or is going to attempt to commit suicide. Once the person has made contact with the hotline, professionals will handle the situation from that point forward. DON’T CONTINUE TO MESSAGE THE PERSON ONCE THEY’VE MADE IT CLEAR THEY WILL CALL OR ARE CALLING THE NUMBER. Wait for them to get back to you. I understand how worrisome it can be to wait to receive information on whether or not someone you follow and care about is okay, but you have to let the person do what they can to save the suicidal user without interruption.

* How to find people that could help the user.

Make a post on your blog(s) about the user, explaining the situation in the post. It’s important to also explain that you’re looking for people who know this user in real life and you can get in contact with to figure out a way to help prevent them from committing suicide. Also include a link back to this current post you’re reading so that other people can be informed and help you take action. It is vital that you get your post to circulate so that more people will see it. The more people that see the post, the greater the chance there is that you will be able to locate someone who can do something in real life to save the user. You can help the post circulate by tagging popular blogs you know that would be willing to reblog your post and bring attention to their own followers. Eventually, you’ll hopefully find someone who knows the user in real life. If you don’t, double check to make sure that you informed Tumblr staff of the situation and send the user all the love that you can and pray that they turn out okay, they could really use it at the moment.

** What you should do if the only available numbers are for immediate danger, but the user in question is only considering committing suicide.

In this situation it is important that you make sure you don’t lose contact with the person that knows the user. You need to help inform them so that they know how to correctly approach the user about suicide. Send them a link to this site (the site link is http://www.bethe1to.com/bethe1to-steps-evidence/ for a quick copy and paste) should this scenario occur. This site is extremely useful for informing a person on how to approach someone they believe is considering committing suicide. It would be helpful to consider giving the site a visit for yourself, as it could come in handy should you ever have to confront someone you think is suicidal.

______________________

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

In case you aren’t sure what happens when you call a suicide hotline, visit: https://www.healthyplace.com/suicide/suicide-hotline-what-happens-when-you-call. This way you can better understand what happens when the person you’re contacting makes the call for the user, or should you need to make a call yourself.

Furthermore, a question you might ask is “Why do I need to contact someone the user knows in real life instead of confronting them online myself if they’re only suicidal and in no immediate danger”? Well, websites and social media platforms will only ever be text on a screen, at some point you have to realize that. So confronting the user over the internet through said text isn’t going to be nearly as effective or sure of a method as someone they know personally sitting down with them and discussing it with them in real life. It is encouraged to send the user some love and support online if they are suicidal, but it’s more important to make sure someone they know assists them in getting the help they need.

Tips

If you’re looking for a certain kind of fanfiction, go to the ao3 homepage, click on Search, then Works. Scroll down to Relationship Tags and enter “Bill Cipher/Dipper Pines. Underneath where it says “Additional Tags”, enter what ever you are looking for in a fic (ex. fluff, dark, siren au, trans dipper, bottom bill, ect.). This is mainly what I use to find fics!

If you want to re-watch any episode of Gravity Falls use www.toonova.com, www.watchcartoonslive.org, animeflavor.me! I’ve used all of them, and they work on mobile and are completely free! (Beware of ads!)

If you want fanart you can obviously just search “billdip” on DeviantArt, Google images, or Tumblr. If you search Tumblr make sure to filter the results to “Photos”, block the tag “anti billdip”, and block any other antis you may see after doing so. Remember, block block block! Antis are the scum of the Earth!

It you want more music simply search “billdip” on www.youtube.com, or 8tracks.com! You can also search “billdip” on Tumblr and filter the results to “Audio”!

Additionally

Remember: What I have listed is not all there is, not by a long-shot!

If you found this helpful, please reblog to help another shipper out!

How to talk to children

This is based on decades of experience as an uncle and as an older brother.

Never forget that children are just as much people as adults are.

Kids 10 years or younger (and sometimes older than that) don't get sarcasm or irony, so don't use them.

If a child has difficulty pronouncing a word, don't copy their misprounciation when speaking to them. They can hear the word just fine. It could sound to them like you're making fun of them.

(Yes, this means no babytalk)

Don't be dismissive.

Listen to what they're saying.

To get on the same eye-level, don't bend over or squat: it seems condescending. Kneeling or sitting are better.

It should go without saying that you should respect children's body autonomy. Don't force affection on them.

Respect children's emotional autonomy as well. Let them be angry. Let them be sad. Don't force them to be happy.

Let children like things. Don't run down the things they like just because you find them cringy.

Don't think that you know better.

To children, adults are giants. Be a big friendly giant.

Don't stifle children's curiosity.

Don't stifle children's enthusiasm.

To quote Sondheim, "Be careful the words you say, children will listen."
