<< < (11/21) > >>

Is it cold in here?:
Summarizable as "he killed himself because he was a stupid jackass".

And the areas of the US that use shame and abstinence-only education to deter sex, are the areas with the highest teenage pregnancy rates (and IIRC the highest rates of sexual activity amongst teenagers, too).

But it doesn't mean that they have healthy attitudes about sex, it means that they still have it while thinking it's evil.

Or, you know, mentally ill. As someone with a long history of mental illness, as well as knowing many who succumbed to it,  I find the way so many people write off suicide as cowardly or selfish to be very insulting. Mental illness is a real thing, it is a medical condition as real as cancer or lupus,  not something to be dismissed as a moral failing. In a society that places such a heavy stigma on mental illness, especially for men, it is quite common for a condition to go untreated until it becomes overwhelming.

TheEvilDog:
Well I was going to reply to the previous comment, but bhtooefr got there before me.

Loki:
And sitnspin beat me.
