That’s a heavy one, and good on you for caring enough to answer responsibly. Here’s how you could respond in the forums (keeping it respectful but clear):
⸻
If you tell a teacher you’re having suicidal thoughts, yes—they are usually required to report it. Teachers and school staff are what’s called mandated reporters. That means if they believe a student might hurt themselves or others, they must act and connect you to help, even if it feels uncomfortable.
As for your mom—if what you’re saying is true and she reacts that way, that’s not okay. If you can’t talk to her, you should still tell a trusted adult, like a teacher, counselor, or another family member. You deserve to be taken seriously, not laughed at.
It’s good you’re reaching out, even in a “hypothetical.” If you (or anyone reading this) are actually feeling that way, please don’t keep it in. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and get free support right away.

Hypothetically, u should call the lifeline phone number (idk what numbers it is tho), cuz they wouldn’t have to report any hypotheticals (at least, I don’t think)

They’d offer more support plus they don’t really report it in my experience and just keep it on your probate file/record or smth like that. Plus if you tell a teacher they’d tell the counselor anyways.

I think they have to report any serious stuff
Also, if they suspect any other person is involved in any way, I think they gotta report it to the security guard on campus, which would prob lead to an investigation
