Because I've seen it. The story about the girl I wrote, that was an example.
Who was made fun of by her friends?
Because they aren't just random strangers. They aren't people she will meet on line at the supermarket who happened to be a little rude. These are people she needs to deal with at least 5 days a week for 8 hours. She can't just quit school, she can't just pretend to not hear what they say. At some point she probably liked some of them before they were mean to her.
Then nonrandom strangers. They are just strangers, no matter how long they spend together, they are just random people who really don't matter. Why would their opinion matter?
I'd probably be very upset and get counseling.
Your therapist would hate you, wouldn't he? I don't see how that would be much better.
So what you're saying is that people should just deal with these disorders? I'd assume that since it is a disorder you'd want be to get help to smooth things out.
It is a disorder the same way necrophilia is a mental disorder, it is simply something that is not considered normal for the culture your living in. It is not a disease, it is just a state of mind that most people don't like.
Or I guess we could just let them fend for themselves. Survival of the fittest right?
If you want to try to make them stronger, go right ahead. Not much is gained from letting them kill themselves.
There are plenty of parents whose response to that would be "Shhh! Later, later I'm watching this show." Not all parents would do as much as you think they would for their kid.
What do I think they will do, exactly? They can't raise a toe to help, really.
Why is it that you have such a dislike for "weak" people?
Why not? Is it wrong to be disgusted when someone wants to kill themselves over what someone said?
And what I find even stranger is that these are kids we're talking about.
Do you know what kids have to go threw in other parts of the world? There are child soldiers. There are starving children. There are sex slaves. And do you know what these children do? They do an amazing thing. They survive. They continue living, few even think of killing themselves. But these middle class and upper class kids? They are called a name and think of killing themselves. They are cowards, with all the hell children go threw in poor continents, a man who is a king compared to them thinks that his life is not worth living. It is pathetic.
Would you really call a kid whose suicidal a coward because he feels hurt from bullying?
I think I just did. Several times, in fact.
And what would calling him a coward do exactly? Do you think it's going to make him rethink his ways and start a new and better life?
No more than anything you post will change my mind, right?
Are you just unable to understand the pain because they're different from you?
How are they different from me, exactly?
Because it hurts them, and you think that it's okay.
It isn't that much hurting, exactly. It is just words. Words don't hurt.
People are affected by things differently, what is a weakness to one may not be a weakness to another.
Yes it is. If you can not defeat things that everyone else can defeat, especially when you have advantages they don't, your weak.
Let's say you were scared of snakes, should that mean that it's okay for a snake trainer to watch and laugh while snakes (not leathal) slither on you?
If you where scared of snakes, why in hell would you know a snake trainer?
No, it's just insensitive. Just because he doesn't understand you pain, he considers you weak and laughs at you. That's pretty similar to what you're doing here.
At the very least, there is probably a reason they are afraid of snakes. Snakes are a physical being, and something that humanity has feared for years. This is just words, not any phobia that you could have, but something I could type at this moment.
And an MMA fighter can call you weak for not being able to brush off such weak assults as punches from a regular man. Is that right?
Perhaps, depending on how strong everyone else is. If everyone else was able to easily absorb the punches, I would be weak. Which in this case, with billions upon billions being able to withstand this threat of words, if you are unable to your are weak.
Keeping a high self esteem seems like the more common and accepted path (society pushes it at least) because it's easy to overvalue yourself and you feel good as long as it lasts, but it gets crushed if you don't have anything to back it up. That's partly what leads to depression and such because that's the part that 'hurts'. If you know exactly who and what you are and are ok with yourself, you've already wiped out all the self-hype and there's really nothing left for an opponent to attack.
I suppose it is an interesting strategy. I guess if you have nothing to tear down, you can't really get lower. You can't attack a city that is not there.
It worked for me.
Really? Does everyone on this ****ed forum have a depression in their past?
