Which of the following is a warning sign for suicide?

• A. Feeling more energetic and social
• B. Sleeping normally
• C. Completing tasks late
• D. Giving away possessions

Answer: (D)

Warning signs for suicide involve noticeable changes in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may signal someone is considering self-harm. Giving away possessions is a red flag because it can indicate a person is making preparations for death or letting go of important connections, a step some take before acting. That’s why this option best reflects a warning sign. The other choices don’t point to imminent danger: feeling more energetic and social can mean mood improvement; sleeping normally suggests stable rest; completing tasks late can reflect stress or poor time management rather than intent. If you’re worried about someone, talk to them and seek help from a counselor, teacher, or crisis line.
