This morning, someone posted that they wanted to commit suicide. You never know if suicide posts are real or not, but, because it's a serious thing, I respond to suicide posts as if the poster is serious.
Many people who responded to the post offered words of hope and empathy, but there were some who responded with hateful words, urging the person to do it, or saying something stupid like "'l'll join you". We all know that life can be very difficult at times, and there are alot of people who have considered suicide at one time or another. I know I have.
Growing up, I was taught 'if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all.' Whether any of us here care or not, that poster is very likely someone's loved one. Think of your loved one, how you would feel if anything happened to him or her.
Lately, alot of the posts have been very hateful. Can we just give someone a break sometime? Life is difficult enough.
