Wow, it stinks like bread in here. All because a kid complained that he feels hopeless and someone didn't give him a shoulder to cry on? Hell, he even gave you the olive branch of "maybe you have legitimate problems" but that's still not good enough.
entirely true but doesn't explain why you're on the offensive over here. I'm getting the feeling that a lot of depressed people are feeling attacked and staging their last stand against the Tyranny of the Ego. I don't think that's going to help anyone, to be honest. Close your legs.

I admit, I got on the defensive because I was getting kind of irritated on what Deni said. Having had some problems with depression myself I know how it feels to be there. I just don't see the need to pick down on people searching for help, because it really doesn't help. The thing is, I'm not encouraging the half-assed sugar coated "criticisms" some people tend to give like (and I'm sure this is the kind that Deni doesn't like), the kind that are avoiding the issue at hand, and only prolonging the problem period. However, there ARE ways to give good and legit criticism without sounding like a total arse, and that is the kind that really helps when in depression. Things that'll give you motivation to change yourself are great, giving tips on how to approach the problem is great, telling someone to "grow the fuck up" is not that great cause it really doesn't tell you anything. So, that's what I really wanted to say I guess.
How ya doing, buddy?
