And listen to linkin park you'll relate to their lyrics

Internal depression is caused by your brain and is illogical. It can often be treated with drugs and therapy. Most people, however, suffer from external depression, casued by real external factors.

It did for me

You just gotta keep being there for him and remind him things get better and control what you can control

I was suicidal growing up, and the day I moved out of my mom's house, all those thoughts vanished

I won't go into old man mode and say, "When I was your age..." BUT... when I was you your age I was not always happy.
It is normal to have negative thoughts. They pass though, and things generally do not work out as bad as our worse case scenario imagines they will 🙂

I'm trying, he cut contact with me from discord and everything else, so I might have to go see him irl tomorrow

I lived in a toxic environment which caused my depression and suicidal thoughts

just remind him growing up he will meet new people and his family doesnt even have to be part of the picture if they really hate him

when he moves out he can make his own family have his own job/life etc

sucks when you live in a toxic environment and have to survive for sure but

once you are out of high school its smooth sailin' and u can get out of those toxic places

Unless you go to college

Then you're going to be fucked emotionally and financially

yeah but thats where you decide what you want

Yeah, tough decisions

do you really want a job making bank after going through all that stress or

are you personally okay with living in a mediocre house making a decent living but not high end

by getting a job in trades

me personally

These days going to college seems a bit pointless (unless you want to spend three years watching fat chicks dance and then write essays about how their obese struggle to overcome gravity and get on their tiptoes is symbolic of woman's oppression at the hands of the patriarchy).

Yep

i did not finish college because i am not a high spender type of guy and im ok with only making ~50k a year instead of going through 8 years of college to make 300k a year that i wont even know what to buy

Not only do you come out the other end with permanently scarred eyeballs, you also have a big ol' pile of debt.

i wrote an essay about global warming testing into my english class in college

and they let me skip a class because of that

i knew they would suck up to my shitty essay if i wrote some left wing shit

and it worked

Heh

then i had to write a 10 page paper in comp 2 and i wrote it on how bad of an idea gun control is

I went to uni a long time ago and it was bad enough then.

University = uni for you non English speaking Americans 🙂

yeah i dropped out after my first year knew it wasnt for me

honestly, idk how but

i had 0 idea about politics heading into college like

i didnt even know what a democrat or republican was

and its not like i was a dumb student i had a 4.0 and took civics

but thats because im good at memorizing words and spitting them out into paper a day later

and forgetting

I went to university after being out working for a few years. I recommend doing that if you can.

main reason i dropped out is because i never found out what i wanted to do and didnt want to spend thousands figuring out at a scam like university
