Do all suicidal people talk about killing themselves before they try to do it?

No. While it is very common for suicidal people to tell someone what they are

planning, it is possible for somebody to be thinking about suicide without telling a soul.  In the absence of other warning signs, a suicide threat is not even considered the most credible indicator of suicide risk, but any talk of suicide should be brought to the attention of people who can intervene: parents, teachers, school counselors, social workers, even the police.
