STOP!


What is it gonna take for people to realise that depression is not a "phase"? How many coffins must be carried before ya'll realise that depression is a killer illness? What is it gonna cost before ya'll open your eyes and stop being ass holes to other kids? What is it gonna take for you to notice that your words cut deeper than you think? What is it gonna take? What is gonna make you stop tormenting other kids for their little human imperfections? Does luminol have to be sprayed onto your hands for you to notice the amount of blood you have on your hands because of your words? For you it might just be words but to them, to them they are swords that are just cutting too deep into their fragile hearts. Please check yourself before you start making fun of another person because of their imperfections. If you do not understand what mental illnesses are and how they affect people, then stay out of any discussion that has to do with them. Stop calling people attention seekers whereas in reality you don't understand what they are going through. Stop. Please just STOP IT. IT'S NEITHER CUTE OR FUNNY.
