Depression

[SchnidlersLeest]

I honestly believe that many of the teenage suicides we hear about could have been avoided had the kids in question been taken seriously. It certainly contributed to my own suicide attempt when I was 18; the frustration and the anger of being ignored or trivialised by some the people closest to me really made things more unbearable than they needed to be.

Yeah, if suicidal teenagers just weren't treated like shit it may have given them second thoughts on saying "Fuck you" to the world. It really reveals that those who were closest in physical proximity to you, who told you they loved you all through your life, really didn't give a shit about you, and that's incredibly shitty of parents or relatives.

I'm not going to generalize all parents, but a lot of parents tell their children that they love them so that they can control them when they're children, and even when they're adults. Most teenagers who tell their parents that they're depressed get mocked and scorned. It's disgusting.

Not to mention that it's being treated this way that leads to the depression in the first place.
