<p>Rant:</p>
<p>This is part of what’s wrong with today’s youth. In general. People make fun and light of VERY serious mental and physical issues. People say “that’s ■■■■■■■■” or “that’s gay” and make fun of things that don’t deserve to be made fun of.</p>
<p>People that cut are depressed. Very seriously depressed and instead of getting love, help, and support they are ostracized and pushed to the fringe of society. Depression is a serious condition and instead of people getting helped they are told “cheer up, emo kid.” Well guess what? People that are depressed don’t “cheer up”. </p>
<p>You have friends that are cutting. I promise. When YOU get a call because your best friend is in the ER because they cut a little too deep then I DARE you to go and try to tell someone else that they’re whining. </p>
<p>Maybe YOU should grow up and realize that it’s not whining when it hits very deep. Maybe YOU have a holier-than-thou attitude when you have the balls to tell me that I can’t share my life experiences so that MAYBE someone on here doesn’t have to go through what me and my friends have gone through. Something that thousands of teenagers and adults go through every day. </p>
<p>So guess what? I’m going to keep talking and keep sharing. Why? Because I can. It’s a free country and it’s a free board. Block me if you want, I’m sure you’re not the first and you won’t be the last. But don’t you DARE tell me that I don’t need to share it with you or accuse me of having a holier-than-thou attitude.</p>
