There shouldn't be a way to commit such an act like a suicide, without being noticed. We all have a life situation that seems impossible to deal with, and we think that committing a suicide is the only way out from those problems, but it is not. If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide, there are numbers that you can call from anywhere in the United States, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week: 1-800-SUICIDE or 1-800-999-9999.
People have problems and some people feel like there is no way out. The "devil" has nothing to do with it. Suicide is hard to understand and this is really true for the people that are left behind. The person who attempts or who is thinking about it needs help and understanding as well as counseling. If you know someone get them help. If it is yourself get help.

The idea of it may be but it certainly isn't a virus that you can get from being around someone. If you are around people who committed suicide or people who talk about suicide, try to get counseling. If your friend or someone you know wants to commit suicide, try to get them help as well. It is "contageous" in the sense that depressed people who see or hear of other people committing suicide will be more likely to want to commit suicide as well. That is one reason to resist the urge to commit suicide, since someone may want to follow in your footsteps and do it too. It is even worse when the person is very popular or influential. Someone may reason, "If it is good enough for ______, then it is good enough for me."
Well since his friend likes you, his friend wants to get to know you to. He probably wants to see if he approves of the girl and see if it is right for his friend. Or maybe he is thinking about stuff that his friend told him about you so he is looking at you while he is thinking it.
anyone can be suicidal, if you or someone you know is thinking about suicide please call the Lifeline, a suicide hotline network at 1-800-273-TALK.
No, very often there is no apparent reason for it. At least none that anyone other than the person committing knows and sometimes they may not really know why they do it.
Anyone can always sue you, so in theory yes you could get sued for stopping a suicide attempt. Though it is not likely that it will be a successful case, it is a controversial subject, someone could always try to sue you.
