I never really got the concept of telling a suicidal person that suicide is bad. Obviously they know it's bad, they just can't think of any other solution. Instead of saying all the stuff like, ''You're family is going to miss you,'' and such, maybe they just want someone to understand what they feel. Maybe they just want someone who will help them and get them through whatever they're going through. If they feel suicidal, it's not because they think they think their parents won't miss them or stuff, it's because they think they're nothing compared to the others. They think that they're a waste of space and instead of telling them that it is bad, you need to show them how much they mean. Show them that you care, show them that you are one to think they're amazing.
