    I couldn't think of a good name for this thread, so mods, feel free to change it if you come up with something better.

    I found this morbidly interesting when I came across it, I thought a few people here may be interested too.

    Its a link to a website that live feeds the traffic from people who visit suicide advocating websites having searched for them on various search engines.

    Its quite sad how often it is searched, you can even try it yourself, go to google and search for "suicide methods" and click a link, its quite errie to watch yourself pop up on the list (you can remove yourself after doing so).

    Well I'm not sure if everyone or even most who look up the words "suicide method" on google are suicide candidates. I know I've done so before just out of morbid curiosity without being a least bit suicidal. Come to think of it I was in my teens back then, luckily enough my parents didn't know how to check the browsing history or it might have caused them to worry over nothing.

    But I wonder how many of those entries are seriously considering, if you go to that popular website that most people click from the search engine, checkout the comments there and we can see how deep this goes.

    I wouldn't be too quick to Google anything you don't want to be asked about somewhere down the line. ;)
