I'm freaking sick and tired of people misusing the phrase "I'm going to kill myself."

No, not people who are serious. Let me know if you're having those kinds of thoughts...I'll try to help you out. But in situations like the one I'm about to explain.

I was with a friend of mine, and we were sitting in a coffee shop, behind (or in front of, however you think of it) two girls. I'm pretty sure they were talking about a recent test grade.

Anyway, one of the girls said something like, "I ing got a C. I'm going to kill myself."

Instantly I was kinda mad. Not only have I been suicidal, but when I was around the age I was suspecting they were, I was super serious about my grades. To the point where if I had gotten a C, I would've actually killed myself. So I turned around, put on the brattiest smile I could and said something like this:

"Hi, I'm sorry to interrupt the lovely conversation you're having, but if you're not serious about suicide, please don't say that kind of stuff. I don't want to be that person, but as someone who's depressed and have considered suicide before, those types of comments are really innapropriate. Suicide isn't a joke. I know you've heard that a lot, but unless you want to have a conversation with me about what suicide is really like, I advise you never, ever, say that again. I know you're not going to take me seriously, because who the am I, but I'm just trying to let you know that saying stuff like that isn't the smartest thing to do. Oh wait, you're getting Cs. What do I expect?" 

And then I stood up, grabbed my friend, and left.

Of course, the last thing I said was a little rude and very mean, but please don't mess with me when I'm pissed.

Bottom line is do not ever joke about killing yourself.

While we're on this topic, don't ever joke about being depressed. Anorexic. Bipolar. You get my drift. 

Don't joke about things you haven't experienced. Don't say "Oh no, I skipped a meal, I must be anorexic." because unless you are anorexic, or unless you have the disorder, don't joke about it.

It's not funny. If anything, it's ed up. Stuff like that pisses me off the most. 

Okay, I'm done.

Forward is forward,
