The students at my school used to joke and say KMS and KYS all the time, too... until one of those kids actually did. And then they stopped saying that to each other almost over night.

Sometimes you are joking, but the person you are joking with isn't. Think about that next time you jokingly tell someone to KYS because they got a 65 on a quiz.

You're implying that an environment where people don't jokingly reference suicide would have led to a better outcome. Is there evidence for this?

So you have evidence that telling people to kill themselves is safe?

I remember at some neighboring school this happened and teachers and students moved on like nothing happened since the school was so competitive.
