Quote from Scarecrow

because
a) you have no idea how close she is to me
b) she is one of the (very) few people i have ever actually cared for (in any serious way) (at all)
c) there is nothing i can do to help the situation; furthermore she lives in another country so i can't even give her a hug
d) it would have been extremely easy to give her brother one hell of a beating, as i know who he is, where he lives and what he looks like; he also regards me as an old friend. i also know how to, and have the tools to, pick the lock of his house if necessary. the only thing lacking is the ability to get away with it. this is a sacrifice i am entirely willing to make, but not one that anyone else is willing to let me make. as such i did nothing, and proceeded to drink myself into stupor
e) go **** yourself

a) True, I don't know how close you and her are, but trust me when I tell you, I've found myself in similarly painful situations and never once touched alcohol outside of recreation or other such drugs at all.

b) Again, I know how that is better than you think.

c) My situation isn't quite THAT bad, at least she lives in the same country, but an 8 hour drive is a long ways for a hug still.

d) That wouldn't have solved anything either, but I agree, I felt like putting myself at the mercy of the law if it meant some sort of hollow revenge, too.

e) You're not really wrong to automatically operate under the assumption that I've never had an experience like yours, but the fact of the matter is, I have, and it most certainly is not fun. But drugs an alcohol are a stupid way to cope, as generally, they make shit worse indirectly. What you should have, and probably did to the best of my knowledge, done is stood as a pillar of support. Be someone she can talk to to let those feelings go, someone with whom she can get shit out in the open. It sucks ass for that to be all one can do, I know all too well, and honestly, I feel for you, but letting yourself slip down with her is a mistake you shouldn't have made.

I think they overreact too much, I have met a few emo people before, there not friendly, they smoke, and the ones I knew always showed me where they cut themself, which was disgusting. So I would say Bad.

all hail OGrilla for he understands the human minde

ok, first, mind*

second, you sound like a real dickhead. One of those people who go to you school, overreacts and then makes stupid threats that he can't back up.

>makes assumptions

do you honestly think i couldn't have been somewhat depressive and yet still support her at the same time? i did all i could to make her feel better. that doesn't mean i couldn't drink myself blind afterwards.

I certainly don't see how it helped.

And you have never heard of, nor are you able to realize that people do things out of emotional affection that are of questionable motivation when regarded by a third party or in hindsight?

I normally don't join in these types of arguments, but you're being extremely irritating and asinine, Jexsam. It's his life, so stop downing him for his choices, especially since by now it seems like they're a part of his past, so you're not helping, you're just being a negative jerk. You don't know the situation so to continue through so many posts to criticize his actions is not only insane, but so very annoying. Please, for the sake of the thread and for Scarecrow, stop posting about it. He shouldn't have to defend himself against something so stupid.

Jexsam,
Shut the **** up.
Leave Scarecrow and I alone.

People do things while under serious depression that they wouldn't normally do.

This isn't the topic of debate,
if you'd like to debate this,
make a completely new thread.
Arrogance...

I have nothing against emos just so you know.I believe that they hurt themselves because they convert emotional pain into controlled physical pain.
