Depression is a serious mental illness that not only effects the person but everyone around them that loves them. How would you like it if you mom, grandmother, brother, sister, gf, whoever, was suicidal and there was nothing you could do for them? How would you like it if people told them over and over how much they sucked and told them to kill themselves?

Sometimes, suicide is a cry for attention, but it is almost never because "mommy and daddy wouldn't buy me a car", a serious suicide attempt is a cry for help in a world where life seems so terrible and hopeless that a person could choose not to exist.

This is not the first time I have read comments like this here. People "advising" others to ignore suicidal people (instead of calling the police or trying to get them help), people telling others to just kill themselves when they make a post describing how hopeless life is.

I know this forum is made up with little boys who don't know better or are trying to look cool but I am sickened by the attitude some here take towards suicide.

I have NO sympathy for someone who wants to kill themselves. If you cant find any amount of happiness surrounded by all the crap modern day culture can provide for you, then the simple flat out fact is this world is better off without you.
Suicide is for the weak. Darwin at work. We desperately need him anyways.

That's pretty cold. It's what I expected Michael D to say, but even he was more tactful.

I agree (not to the Michael D part). While there is some truth to it, it doesn't apply to those who are clinically depressed.

You really don't get it. The reason why most of these cries for help are from 15-16 year olds is that they are surrounded by family. The father yells, the mom backs the dad, the siblings don't want to get involved. That's why it's important to console them now.

You just wait. One of these days, someone is going to post a letter of their depression, you're going to troll them, and that person is going to drink bleach. THen you're going to call him a "stupid suicide n00b" and say that he should have used a gun.

You're really badass.

It's the internet eakers, and everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. I tried to help, others did not; it is a fact of life. While I respect your opinion, how does this rant help the OP of the thread you are posting about? :confused:

it has nothing to do with that thread specifically, i can count numerous times when people, WHO WERE NOT TEENAGERS, came on this forum and expressed they were suicidal and all these people come out of the woodwork to flame them. i am just sick of it.

Depression is often physiological, altho thank goodness ignorance isn't always contagious.

Whos ignorance?
You can cover up for other people all you want. Fact is their weak and want attention. I'm better off without them, and so are you. If you cant pick your "depressed" butt up off the couch, and quit shovin Oreos in your mouth and go outside and be happy then hell man I dont see much point for you to be here.

It's sad that "mommy and daddy's wing" isn't the safe paradise that most people see. It can even be a more brutal and unforgiving place than the outside world. You people just don't realize that

wow... you don't have a clue as to what depression is. people can't just "snap" out of it. true depression is a chemical imbalance within their brain. maybe one day you or someone close to you will go through it and you'll realize what you just said was a load of horsecrap.

Hmmm.....Dont have to pay rent, dont have to have a job, dont have to worry about medical bills, insurance, car payments, making the mortgage, job layoffs, downsizing, planning for retirement and...oh yes, supporting an ungrateful shallow pussy of a child....
Yeah, "mommy and daddy wing" is REALLY unforgiving isnt it. :roll:

I have never flamed or insulted somebody who I thought was being serious. Remember the one guy who was having a horrible month and came on here? Then he came back a month later and said how much happier he was and thanked ATOT for helping him out. If it's really serious, I think most people offer help.

Some kids (myself included) would gladly trade all of that to be able to not come home to an angry voice and an open palm. I would LOVE to put up all of my bi-weekly salary to utilities and necessities just so neither myself nor my sister would ever get a hand laid on us again.

Ok, a chemical imbalance caused by what? Most likely outside infuelnces.
You dont get fat by eating healthy and exercising do you?
So, what causes depression?

Either way, lets assume its COMPLETELY outside the control of the individual....Again, its simply Darwin at work. Weeding out the weak. So either way your argument is worthless. Because either we're protecting and sheltering the weak, or it IS within their control to not be depressed.
And how many times do i hear "HAHAHA! Darwin at work!" when someone posts a video of someone doing something stupid...(que kid planting his face in a bumper)

So, it seems people DO support Darwin, of course only when it fits their personal agenda. Hell with tat, I support Darwin all the time! And depression is just another of those times.

clinical depression isnt a joke, its not simply a "mood". manic depression isnt either its actually hereditary. which is why suicide usually runs down a family tree.

aka bipolar

its a chemical imbalance in the brain. not something you can just switch off or on.

If you ever lapse into a depression you would understand.
 

I don't get involved with suicide threads. "Suicide threats" made on the internet are incredibly hard to take serious. They are usually bs.
If a person has a problem, crying out to a internet forum is going to do very little for them.

Suicide is for the weak? You're a complete asshole. Seriously. I agree that it sometimes seems like the easy way out, but come on! Have you ever been that depressed? If you have, was it really that easy to "find any amount of happiness surrounded by all the crap modern day culture can provide for you?" Sorry, nuh uh. Not that easy. I've been depressed and thought about suicide. I may not have been a teenager, but it happened. I was too much of a chicken to do anything to myself and when it all boiled down...I really do love my life.

You really don't get it. The reason why most of these cries for help are from 15-16 year olds is that they are surrounded by family. The father yells, the mom backs the dad, the siblings don't want to get involved. That's why it's important to console them now.

Thank you. Sometimes people are posting here or wherever just to get attention, however, any suicide thought is a bad thought and someone is in need of help. Luckily I got help when I needed it.

no, the ones that dont realize that are under the wing,IMO. the ones that dont have the best situation are fully aware of how life can suck and make you feel like sh!t. those that dont, and think people are just weak and stupid more than likely havent really been hit or challenged by lifes finer difficulties.

and for the record, im 32. from the time i was 12 and strong enough, i was lifting my parapalegic father in and out of bed to take him to the hospital, cleaning up his vomit and sh!t, emptying his piss bag, cleaning the wounds from his gangrene, changing the dressings from his dual leg amputations, and on and on. matter of fact at the age of 19 i was giving him cpr due to the heart attack that finally put him out of his misery.

16yo know it all? i think not. if ive learned anything from life its how truly ignorant we are to others lives.

Errr... If they die it's because they killed themselves. Not because they got some crocodile-tears from ATOT. Publicly announcing to 100,000 strangers that you want to kill yourself usually means you don't want to. Just that you don't feel like you have any way to better articulate your problems.

If you are depressed and are looking for help go to forum related to that topic. Posting in the OT forum of a computer site is just asking for it.

Not gonna happen. I man up and face my problems, not get all depressed and try to off myself.

Either way, we're just gonna have to agree to disagree. I've made my opinion clear on what I think of these new fad "ailments" we see in society today.

Nothing but pure opinion here, not going to insult or quote anybody.

For those who say they're weak and everything, yeah I'll agree on that, but that doesn't mean that they should end themselves. As much as natural selection may play on the planet today, it doesn't really apply to people at this day and age. I know, through friends that have went through this, that they can grow to be very good people to society, that's (ideally) what prisons are for as well.

Usually, I can tell if it's a cry for attention, so I don't usually regard them when that happens.

On a side note, I'd like to say thanks for the comments on my YAGT. I really thought I'd get flamed on that thread, but ATOT really helped me a lot more than they think they did. ATOT remained supportive, just what I needed.
