I know you are probably going to mock me for addressing you in this way because that is usually what someone who posts blatant insensitive comments like that would do. Just know that if you keep it up you will not last long on this site.

God bless.

Christian Chat Forum Rule #2:
2. No conduct that is offensive or counterproductive to fellowship.
I'm going to take a guess and say that you wrote this bit in order to detour me from mocking you. Don't worry I'm not going to mock you, I wasn't planning on it in the first place. My original comment, albeit written in quite the insensitive tone. Merely asked the original poster of this thread to be thankful for what he/she (not sure, too lazy to check) has.

And is that so bad?

Yea Johnxxxx there are plenty people suffering and without a lot of things. I remind myself of that daily too especially when I think I have it bad there's always someone who has it worst. But that's still no reason for insensitivity. Fightforlight is suffering in her own way too, she doesn't feel she's liked. Why not be caring and pray for her instead of increasing the feeling that nobody likes her with your insensitive remarks. Your know insensitive remarks are only doing more bad than good. How would you feel if you knew someone killed themselves because of something you said? That's the power of your words. So you could atleast try to be nicer.

Fightingforthelight: Please keep pouring your heart out here. Oftentimes the best way for hurts to heal is to lance them and let out all of the poison and infection first, you know? Some of us DO care and are reading your heart and praying for you. We're listening. <3

Please don't waste time responding to the negative posters here. Just put them on ignore and move on. You don't need to be reading that junk right now. When healing is needed, it is better to do as scripture indicates and focus on what is pure, noble, and edifying.

Thank you for explaining that. I obviously got the wrong impression and I do apologize. God bless.

Wow Johnxxxxxxxxxxxx. Aren't you just a fine example of what a Christian is!

You say the OP is seeking attention, yet your comments seem to have gotten quite a bit of attention as well. The OP is "whining", and you are sitting behind your computer telling him off. Wow. Since you stated you deal with depression then I am guessing that you being condescending of others is a way of boosting your own self esteem. Is it possible you relate to the OP and reacted in a harsh way because you see yourself in his statements? Quite possibly you do!

SO.... I am going to pray for the young person who started this thread that they may find happiness and peace. Afterall, being 15 is a rough age, and I also will pray that whe he becomes 18 that his attitude does not become like yours. That he will face the world with grace, and maturity and with God right by his side.
I will also be kind enough to pray for you, that you will find a way to be polite to others and considerate of others feelings. Humility is a very good trait to have. Everyone has struggles. Everyone has hard times, but as Christians(assuming you are one) we need to reach out and help those. So, as a Christian I will pray that God will enter your heart and while he is on the way there I will pray that the holy spirit will knock you upside the dang head because I am not near you to do it myself!

Take care.

This may not help you right at this moment but please know that the teenagers who do not like you will not matter a darn after you graduated (I'm writting this assuming you are talking about your peers in your life not liking you).

I hated highschool. Teens can be mean even when it's not their intention (more so when it is their intention).

Your intention might have been a good one, but that tone does not belong in this thread. If you were truly depressed before you would understand how incredibly difficult it is and how something even remotely hurtful such as your post can set a depressed person spiraling deeper into their depression.

I am apologizing for misunderstanding your original intention, but what you posted is still both very inappropriate and disrespectful. Hopefully you will learn from this and be more considerate and aware of how your words can adversely affect others in the future.

I had no intention of eliciting as much attention as I got with the comment I made. And no I didn't make the comment to give myself an ego boost, there are much more effective ways to get ego boosts I'll have you know. Do I see myself in OP? Of course I do, I've gone through feelings like he has, which is why I know first hand just how wrong, and damaging those feelings are.

Perhaps I could have gone about things differently, but if you noticed within my comment I even state that he has friends, and people who care about him. I suppose it's like if a bully yelled at you "your mom loves you", I admit that must be very strange, and oddly intimidating.

I don't think ill of OP, I think he's just a 15 year old who's having a hard time, and I do hope that what I said hasn't damaged him too severely. Honestly, I don't think it has.

Do you really think someone's going to kill themselves over the comment I made? You can say it was mean, but let's not be hyperbolic.

Good deal ;)

Take care and we all have our issues. Some handle them better than others. I know there are times when I am depressed and nothing goes right. I guess in a way we can all relate to the OP.

ok, I really feel creepy hanging out in the Teen forum.... lol See ya around! <3

I went through a long depression and was suicidal and even the slightest remark from someone could throw me into a suicidal state of mind very quickly. When someone is depressed they already see no end and no relief to the emotional pain and suffering that they are feeling. When someone says something hurtful it can make someone wish they were dead because they just can't take anymore pain and have already given up all hope. Its the same as pouring salt on an open wound.

''My original comment, albeit written in quite the insensitive tone. Merely asked the original poster of this thread to be thankful for what he/she (not sure, too lazy to check) has. ''



''here's what I read "whiine whiine waaa waaa waa whiine my life i tough boo :c" YOUR LIFE ISN'T TOUGH, YOU OWN A COMPUTER, YOU HAVE FRIENDS, GET OVER YOURSELF.''

''you want some cheese with that whine? ''

'''m just absolutely sick of people with no real problems soliciting attention from the internet'.'

''I think you're whiny.''

Really? Merely asked the OP to be thankful? That all you did huh?


And you can try to bypass personal responsibility by saying how you don't think anything you say is going to make this person kill themselves, and its true it may not. But fact is despite your unfounded assumption that this is just some moody teen having a rough time you don't really know the mental state of this person. You don't know how far gone they may be.

Also, i can tell you through years of experience telling people who are suffering 'don't feel so bad, other people are suffering more than you' does Not help most people. And adding 'whine whine waa waa' when you tell them DEFINATELY doesn't help AT ALL.

You come across as if you think yourself mature and intellectual, but in reality you seem more insensitive and immature. Being book smart does not make you wise in dealing with people or in helping people. No matter how good you claim your intentions are true wisdom and maturity would recognize your lacking in sympathy, empathy, compassion and the ability to speak to hurting people correctly, and would refrain from attempting to help people that they are more likely to hurt.

I have worked a lot of teen suicides over the years. Teen mutilations as well. Yes, an unkind comment can, indeed, trigger such an event. It may not be the cause, but it can most certainly be the trigger.

What would be the need for such a thing anyway? What benefit is there in making unkind comments?

No it just makes them jug to Starbucks and get a caramel mocahaccino.


OF COURSE!!!!!!!!


You know if you just put yourself in other people's place for a while then you wouldn't have that "I don't care" attitude that seems to be popular with the world today. It's not nice when you're bearing out your soul ESPECIALLY ON A CHRISTIAN CHAT and talking about your feelings some guy with an insecurity complex makes you feel like what you're going through is nothing when it pains so bad.

To someone who's tired, frustrated and hates themself for reasons some reasons like molestation or some other abuse that there're ashamed to say, your comments might very well act as a catalyst or trigger to a successful suicide. I know that would really bother you.

I would like to add you shouldn't talk to yourself like that either

. (I catch myself doing that too and getting fed up with my own whining, but have found it doesn't encourage me at all but makes me more depressed. I have found that helping others, praying and reading my Bible helps me get over those days when everything just seems gray. You learn to do what is right not because it makes you feel better but because in your heart you know that is is what GOd would want you to do and eventually the light comes back and there is color and the world is no longer in darkness and sadness but the Holy Spirit feels your heart with hope and light and love and peace. Peace not as the world gives but as God gives.)

You should practice thinking words of encouragement to yourself as well.

Remember that God loves you and forgives you if you repent and ask Him to help, He is faith and DOES!


Don't use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.

~ Ephesians 4:29, NLT

my comment got way more attention that should have, I feel like if you really cared about OP you'd spend more time consoling her than arguing with me.

I think that's probably a fair assessment.
