Update: 1:15PM PEOPLE with suicidal thoughts and feelings should share them with someone they trust.

That someone may be a friend, a family member, teacher, family doctor, coach, or an experienced counsellor at the end of a helpline.

Police spokesman Inspector Atunaisa Sokomuri sounded the advice after another case of attempted suicide was reported to police, this time in Taveuni.

Insp Sokomuri said the 23-year-old bank officer attempted to take his life after having problems with his girlfriend's family as they did not like him.

Police have recorded 25 suicide cases and 44 attempted suicide cases to date.
