To be honest, I do not think Steve should have had to put that link
up there, and I hope that he does not turn witty yellow. The vast
majority of you are not suicidal, you're teenagers that are
upset and lonely, becuse that's how teenagers feel
sometimes.
But writing 'love' on your arm and wearing yellow does
nothing to help those with REAL depression and disorders. You are
not doing anything useful except trying to be a part of this big
parade that is the new thing, apparently.
Suicide is not a joke, but you all seem to think that just because
you're 'in love with someone you can't have' or
'you think you're totally fat and you didn't look good
in that bikini today', you're suddenly balls deep in
chronic f.cking depression.
No you are not.
So if you think you're 'helping' by doing silly things
like dressing in yellow or writing love on your arms, you are not.
Give somebody a f.cking hug. My mother lost her job a few months
ago and is trying to get back on her feet, things are hard for her.
So I gave her a god dam.n hug and it helped her, because that's
how you show you CARE. You tell the person in TRUE need that you
care for them, and that while things may not get better
soon, they will be better some time in the future. You try
to get them help and into therapy, because real therapists can
actually help them get better.
Try being a little more genuine, because sitting on the internet
and telling 13 year old girls that you love them and that
you're totally always there for them, is not helping.
They're fine, and so are you.
So don't tell me that you've helped someone when you've
been online all day, because you have not.
