G'day dude, just chatting about all the fun stuff @YaBoyDoggo

I know lol

I've had thoughts of killing myself since I was 9 fucking years old. I'm 13 now, and I dont expect to go through with it, because I know I have a bright future, and I know people love me, and I wouldn't want anyone to go through the same pain as me

Momentary contemplation of suicide is not uncommon, but if it is persistent and prolonged it is maybe a good idea to ask yourself why, imho.

13?

damn yeah 13 years old you got a whole life ahead of you dog

Yeah man

Be happy

just know that a lot of people have thought the same thoughts as u behind closed doors too

when it comes to suicide

u see people at school that seem all happy and shit but behind closed doors those hormones and growing up makes u depressed

you need to identify what type of depression you're suffering

I have determined that there are two types of depression: Internal and external.

Well, my town has a bunch of suicidal people, but they've went through counseling and therapy. I would advise anyone who is suicidal or have suicidal thoughts to go to such. It's best to treat the problem right now than let it get worse

We are here for you

I'm trying, but I'm not sure if one of my close friends are going to make it. He's losing everything he had, his family is starting to hate him, one of his relatives passed away, he's losing friends, he just had a major breakup, and I'm the only one here for him

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).

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.
