There are possibly millions of ways to say what you just said without looking like an ass.

Personally, I think he's been watching too much of the Amazing Atheist on youtube. Although, I don't think suicide is an appropriate, level-headed response to being bullied, of course that might be obvious. All teenagers who commit suicide over bulling probably left a lot out of the story; whether things at home were rough, or they were born with depression. It's important to remember that teens are much more impulsive than adults.
"The teenage brain may be more responsive to environmental stimuli and, although this may facilitate learning rates, it may also make this group more susceptible to negative stimuli, such as stress and substances of abuse and addiction."

I don't think that your dad is a coward or "pussy". I think he was a good man who went through an incredible amount of stress all at once.
Depression is a strange creature and until someone experiences it themselves they will never understand the profound impact it has on everything around you. Saying things like "it's mind over matter" and "they can choose not to be depressed" is so naive. It's like telling someone to get over cancer. It's a legitimate medical condition.
I'm not a prick. Because I say what I feel straight up and honestly does not make me any sort of prick, it simply makes me honest. You try and not to offend people, I believe that if someone takes offense to what I say, they missed what I was saying. I do not mean any kind of offense to anything that I am saying, I'm simply saying it.
You have no right to say anything at all about my life when you know nothing about it at all. I'm a programmer.... did you think I was a jock in high school or something? No. I was bullied plenty of times. I also even did bullying of my own. I have been walked on and abused. I'm seen someone kill themselves in front of me. I've talked plenty of people out of committing suicide.
When I younger I was out shopping with my parents, and someone was on a roof about to jump. I went up on the roof and sat down next to him and just waited. Whenever he asked me if I was crazy, I started talking to him, and eventually convinced him to give things another shot. I talked to an old boss and got him a job, and set him up on a blind date with a friend. Last time that I checked up on him, he now has 2 kids and is a manager at Walmart (He married a different girl). And to think, those two kids wouldn't even exist if that guy had just taken the easy way out.
"Kids are super sensitives" BIG FUCKING DEAL. No one has ever stuck around in my life for more then a year. No matter how many nice things I do for them. They always leave me. Did I commit suicide? No. For a while I was really numb and didnt feel anything, but I dont over that too. Depression is something you can just get off. I'm sick of people saying, "Its a chemical problem" and you need drugs. YOU DONT NEED DRUGS. Before we introduced drugs to the equation depression still existed, and people got over it just fine. I've yet to meet a single person that got over depression while on anti-depression meds, yet I've helped plenty of people get over depression.
Suicide is for pussies. A pussy is someone who is scared of someone. Whenever you commit suicide your afraid of facing the next day. You can try and sugar coat it. You can try and say, "His life was soooo stressful and sad" that doesn't mean he wasnt afraid. Suicide is never ever ever a good thing. No matter who you are in your life, and no matter how bad things are. Atleast one person at any given moment will care about you. Weither its a mom, or a friend, or someone you met online. Whenever you are close to someone, and you find out that they killed themselves instead of comming to you. How do you feel? You become depressed too, and if your also a pussy, you wold commit suicide, and eventually everyone in the world would be dead. Thank god for people who can wake up every morning, hate their life, and keep living it.
No one ever lives a perfect life. Even people who grow up rich and beautiful and get everything they ever wanted, get depressed over something in life. So why is it that its okay for 33k of those people to just kill themselves, while no one else does it? Did you commit suicide during your teenage years? Obviously not.
Thank you for judging me before you know anything about me.
I'm honest, get over it already.
That doesn't make my dad a pussy?
