Yeah- I hear ya. My cousin Steven committed sucide 4 yrs ago when I was in 4th grade and the family still can't get over it. You can't tell a person that has REAL probelms to shut up and get over it. It's a emotional complication. They oviously have a seriously probelm. Steven was showing signs of sucide. But nobody cared. They just said to get over it. I think that egged him on. I know my uncle regrets not sitting down and letting him talk and get his feelings out when he wanted too. It's about time some people voiced this.

Is telling someone it really doesnt affect you either way if they kill themselves or not acceptable?

I do this often, mainly to drive home the point that it dont affect me, and that if they want to post a problem i will gladly try to help otherwise they can shut up.

Good question, and I think it really depends on how you say it. Obviously something like "I don't give a shit if you kill yourself" isn't appropriate but you can tell them it won't affect you either way, if you can say it without being overly insensitive. Kk?

I agree completely.  These are people with VERY serious problems, that require direct attention, not smirk comments to make them feel worse about themselves.  Those that do not understand the severity of the problems that these people are facing should not even bother replying.  You should put yourself in the shoes of the person posting and think how you would feel if someone said some of the same things to you.  Depression and suicide is not a joke, it is very real.  It is very real, and is an issue that is bigger than some care to admit.  Expecialy the schools that the people are in, because they have not been doing a darn thing to help with this, and I feel they should really be focusing on helping a whole hell of a lot more!

Fab topic. I agree 100%.
Oh, and thumbs up to some really supportive (lack of vocabulary..sorry   ) people on the forums. Some people are getting really dedicated to helping other teens...which doesn't entirely make-up for the cheap posts..but do a great deal of good.

And people-please try and have an idea of what you're talking about. It's not because your 14 year old cousin told you you couldn't get STDs from oral sex that it's true.
Google is your bestfriend (if you have common sense enough to look at reliable websites).

HOWEVER, if someone makes a mistakes, you can show a link to say http://www.nih.gov/ to give the correct information but don't start accusing the original poster of all sorts of names. Ok?

I love the rules for this forum. Seeing as members do the exact opposite to what is in that post. Some people don't know how people really feel, but because they want a point they go and reply with a bunch of Bullshit. Its good that some one is looking out for the welfare of the posters in this forum. Some people need to realize that these people in here are extremaily emotianlly fragile and when they are being mean to them it just adds to that depression and make people really want to kill themselves.


Thanks a nice post Tinia.

Please don't generalise like that. I only post in TDEI if I have something helpful or relevant to say - I have never told someone to go jump off a bridge as I have been in situations like that myself.
