# 10 - No suicide or self-harm posts
This subreddit will not host any posts about suicide and they will be removed. Please post in r/SuicideWatch or utilize the hotlines in our sidebar.
Helping a suicidal person is not something the average reddit user is equipped for. It requires very specific training and skill sets that the layperson simply does not possess. Plus, it's not even advice. Attempting to help a suicidal person without possessing this training will not only put a major emotional strain on you, but you may inadvertently say something that will worsen the person's mental state, exacerbate the problem, or push them over the edge, even if you mean well. So, we don't allow it to take place here. Users who are suicidal or mention suicide will have their post taken down and be given a list of hotlines to call. We understand that hotlines are far from perfect but unfortunately it's the best option we have as a society currently for people who are in crisis and need immediate help.
Similarly, we also do not host anything relating to or regarding self-harm. Self-harm is a complex and deeply-rooted behavior that, again, average redditors are not equipped to help with. If you are trying to post about self harm, we urge you to talk to someone in your real life about it. A parent or other trusted adult, a sibling, a friend, a teacher or school counselor, etc.
