I don't believe it...
Just today, our Head Prefect(that means extremely trustworthy senior student), X, told us something he'd heard while talking to a teacher. It was that Lexus, one of the persistent troublemakers, had tried to commit suicide. His body was half over the railing of the 6th storey and he was inching himself forward when a teacher had to pull him by his foot. We were shocked because this is only 6th grade... 0_0
And yes, I know it's true. I don't think X has ever lied in his life, and no, it wasn't an accident. It was the real thing. I have a student with no record as a liar or prankster, plus a teacher, as eyewitnesses. He hauled himself up the railing and starting pushing himself over.
I must say, I was quite shocked. Does anyone know what to do about this guy?

Lexus sounds like a made up name so I'm less inclined to believe you

Yeah, but helltank wasn't too hesitant to give out the full name of his classmate on the TBG before, so I just assumed

since all we know about the situation is what you've told us, i doubt anyone here's going to be much of a help
ask some kids who actually knew the guy instead
they know him a lot better than we do, most likely
^ I also share this sentiment.
In cases like this, we really cannot do much of anything since we have no idea how to handle a situation with someone that we don't know. A guidance counselor in the school might be also be a good person to turn to in helping to deal with issues like this.

Ever been dragged to the sidewalk and- nevermind
But why tell us? What am I going to do, fly to singapore and slap this kid who's real name I likely don't even have while giving an inspirational speech about life and family and loved ones and that his whole life is ahead of him to convince him to not attempt suicide again? I'll be on the next plane

If he is your friend, talk to him, maybe get him some counciling. If not, don't get involved, let his friends and the teachers deal with it.

Re: I don't believe it...
I've had suicidal thoughts before,
but most of them were just those disturbing images, that I can't get out of my head.
Ah, the sarcastic joys of OCD.

There's something like this on Dr Phil which is on right now.
My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.
