My friends aren't selfish people who would kill themselves because they actually care enough about other people to realize what that would do to them.

What 14 year old boy in a critical state of depression who has just had rocks thrown at him and put into hospital by bullies is going to think "Better not do this, people might miss me." You're narrow minded and most likely the selfish one here.

Tell him

Edited by Geth: 1/3/2014 11:33:12 AMLook at it this way. Don't you think it would be better to actually teach kids like that to defend themselves instead of just raising a whole entire society of victims? If the kid was depressed and bullied why was nothing done about it? Somebody didn't do their job. Parents, teachers, and etc.

I do agree
-
But you're blaming the boy for being "selfish". The school was informed of the bullying, as were the police nothing was done and the bullying is still a major problem. The parents weren't the most supportive as they disagreed with each other a lot. My friend was bullied because he refused to join the "popular" hangout at school and instead befriended my friends and I. And if you know what it's like to become severely depressed, it's difficult to think anyone would miss you if you died.

Edited by Geth: 1/3/2014 12:01:00 PMWell you got the last part right. But then again, other people made me like this because of what I've went through. Everyone has their problems. And if it was just "ignored" it seems like people around their have bigger issues then me. Maybe you should be arguing with them.
-
Keep in mind, this all happened 3-4 years ago and had a lot of media coverage. The school had legal action taken against it etc. I'm not arguing with them because I don't want to be involved with the school anymore. I'm arguing with you because you called my friend selfish without knowing him first.
-
Oh, it had a lot of media attention. What was the boys name? And the school it happened in?

So he was in the wheelchair because of the bullying. WTF...why wasn't he being monitored? He should of never had a chance to kill himself. That kinda pisses me off now....
-
He was in a wheelchair because his brain was deprived of oxygen for over 20 minutes when he attempted to kill himself. His mother was putting clothes on the line when he did it, his younger sister found him after she heard noises from his bedroom. He was actually dead at that time and the paramedics managed to resuscitate him. He was in a coma for more than 6 months and believed to be completely brain dead. When he woke up he couldn't move, speak and could only communicate with eye movements. Eventually he was able to move his fingers and hands slightly. On Valentine's Day, 2012, just before he was to have an operation on the muscles in his arms (to allow him to put them down and eventually move them) his windpipe collapsed and he passed away.

They have these alert quarter systems that they sell to people that have mental or physical disorders or people who need to be monitored. IF something like that were to ever happen to somebody you know again I would definitely recommend that to them.
-
I've never heard of them before. I've been on suicide watch/"observation" before, after this happened, and my friends and relatives were just informed to take me straight to the ER if they noticed any strange behaviour. I had to check in with a nurse at the hospital every week to ensure them I was feeling fine and such. It was a pain in the ass especially since I wasn't feeling that bad until I had to speak to these people... I wonder if they have these alert systems in Australia. As for Dakoda, no one really knew how depressed he was. It wasn't obvious.
-
Idk if they do or not. The cost for them is a little high. They detect vital signs and neurological activity. But they're mainly for people who are in wheel chairs or bed ridden.

That is the best thing uv ever heard and this argument is clearly won by u
