He did say that HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND why they don't commit suicide, he didn't say that they should. What he said was careless, but he's only 18. It is not surprising that there is something in the world that an 18 year old doesn't understand. Granted, another thing he doesn't understand is what not to say in the presence of suicidal people, and another thing he does not understand is that he shouldn't say "don't Sugar coat it" because there are too many people in the world who will enthusiastically think of that as a welcome for a "free for all" so that they can be reckless and put the other person down and teach the world according to their "superior wisdom" (whether they request being taught or not). Your post wasn't overflowing with redeeming qualities. What was the "good" of you calling his parents "losers"? Was it to make him feel ashamed of who he is? not a very good strategy. Was it to make him feel justified in hating them or resenting them for the rest of his life? Gee, what a great life long gift you have given him. Was it some kind of reverse psychology to make him feel guilty for feeling the way he does? By calling them "pathetic", did you want to make sure he understands that his heritage is that he came from a family of shame? He didn't come to Curezone seeking more of an inferiority complex than he already has, he came here looking for compassion and understanding, not for the kind of "wisdom" he could get from just about everybody else in the world. Maybe the next time he reaches out for help (if he ever does), he'll make sure to avoid Curezone.


Reverse psychology has done more damage to the world than bombs and wars.

If you consider my post in defense of him "policing", the only people who resent "policing"/defense are those who are OFFENSIVE. He didn't request to be TAUGHT anything, he came here for understanding, not to be overwhelmed with emotional greif/guilt/shame/humiliation/intimidation.
