He did make up for it with an invitation to a fancy meal out though.
Ok, perhaps I'm being a bit belligerent. I've worked with depressed and suicidal teens so I take it personally. Sorry. kind of.Jelfish said:It really doesn't matter if he's the first, third, or hundredth. It's not a club. If you're so sick of it then ignore the f***ing post.
And yes, I considered the fact that you were joking, and no, I'm not.

QuantumTheory said:Why would you be sorry? There's no way in heck I would meet this guy,
1) I don't know him
2) I am a minor, its too dangerous
3) He told me to go kill myself.

It might not show here, but I think it does once you get to know me and my sense of humor. I didn' tell you to kill yourself, you were talking about doing it. I did tell you to grow up and I think that is good advice. Life is so much better than the alternative and sometimes that is hard to see, especially at your age. At my age it is quite a bit more obvious, so much so in fact that I don't have a lot of patience with people who don't see it and talk about taking the selfish way out and killing themselves.
I like it. An awful lot of kids have no clue whatsoever what it means to be an adult and no appreciation for how hard you really need to work at life in general - even high school. And while there is such a thing as clinical depression, too many kids are treated as if they have it, when all they really have is an unwillingness to grow up.vanesch said:My advice is: get a low-life job (flip burgers at McDonalds or so), go live on your own with all the financial and practical problems it brings you, try to solve them and do everything on your own for a year or so. Maybe you'll enjoy taking your life in your hands. Once you've been through that (which will have been a major learning experience, believe me!), maybe YOU will beg your parents to allow you to go to college!
I've often seen that "the whip of real life" takes away the opportunity to get depressed: you'll have to eat and sleep first, and then no time remains to feel depressed. And you'll be extra motivated to do something about your situation.

How so?-Job- said:Don't take this the wrong way, but whenever i see favorable self-evaluations like these i find it curious that though "highly-intelligent", the poster is not intelligent enough to realize that saying it is not to his benefit.

I agree this is Physics fourms not Suicde Fourms.tribdog said:I'm getting sick and tired of all the suicidketeers showing up. Is it the holidays or what? I tried playing nice with the first couple but now I'm getting tired of the whining. Life's not that bad, quit your crying and grow up.
