I wish everyone would do more hiding their personal business.

The definition of bullying used to mean something.... Now I am bullying someone if you speak directly. It's a joke.
Actually, external influences have a lot to do with this sort of thing. The way society views someone and their reactions to them as a result play a huge role in the risk of suicide.
