Take it seriously.

A note to anyone who might be suffering depression: I care. No, I don't know you personally, but I'm one of those people who chooses to still believe in humanity, in people. The thought that anyone might choose to leave this beautiful thing we call life is tragic. If you're not getting any support where you are--try something new. Try to find at least one person who likes you for who you are in real life. I guarantee, with so many humans on this planet, you'll find one. Though it might take a while. Because, if you're depressed, that's what you're maybe missing. Or talk to a psychologist. If they're stupid, find a new one. They're paid to help you. There are so many things out there for you, to support you, and all you have to do is talk. We never know how many lives we touch, and once we're dead, well. Maybe as ghosts or something else we can see, but I guarantee you you're underestimating how many people won't realize how much they cared until they get a wake up call. Please let it be a conversation, rather than a funeral.
I'm not a psychologist and I don't know if my words help, but I hope they do.

Summary of the above: Clearly the suicide prevention things in schools are not doing a good enough job. Take it seriously, folks, it might save a life. Try to help. Don't belittle or make fun, because these are, or could be, life and death situations. I know this is the internet, but the mask of anonymity does not absolve you of responsibility. http://www.helpguide.org/articles/suicide-prevention/suicide-prevention-helping-someone-who-is-suicidal.htm
