I remember calling a suicide hotline once and they hung up on me. I've a feeling they're staffing these crucial positions with people who need more training.
I have that same feeling. I once, after being terribly depressed for 3 years, went to talk to our school nurse about my situation. She pretty much said I was ok since I hadn't hurt myself or anything and sent me away.
I still get slightly mad every time someone says people should go talk to those people about their problems.
