Anyway ...

Whether or not it's just for attention, all suicide attempts are serious.
That summarizes the category that go to great lengths to advertise before the act. There must be suicide among the 'no nonsense' types who get it done and be done with it. How do these types differ from the advertised suicidal attempts. How is the mindset different?
