15. It's not just about "being nice."
It's also about trying to alert people in authority that a person is having problems.

I had an acquaintance who was having a mental breakdown -- I saw what was happening, but I thought I wasn't close enough to him to intervene. I thought someone else would talk to him about it. Within weeks he'd killed himself.

I know if I'd contacted his family, they could have sent someone to talk him into getting help. :cry:
