You know what really grinds my gears?

When people brush off suicide when they use it in a story.

It's seriously messed up how much I see it! It's not even used as shock value,  or treated as a big, climactic moment! It's just

"Guess I'll kill myself."

*Kills self*

"Oh no I'm alive."

"Hey, you're a god now"

"Okay I believe you."

HAHA! Nice abridged version on how it goes right?

.......Right? It's just a joke, right?

.......Look at this example from a My Hero Academia story.

A/N: I wanna play a little game. I want you guys to try and guess why the reader tried to kill themselves. Let's see how much cliches you know.

I've heard of people dying over stupid things but has anyone ever taken their own life to spite people?
