My friends are bullying me because a fat girl tossed me off and I came on her Edit: I was going to make a status about it so I thought that it related.
I can see how this feature can be used to just mess with people. [quote]"car bumped hard into some douche's car today, gotta fix chassis, expensive, fml."[/quote] 14 friends and you flagged this for counseling.
[release]I fucking lost the remote to my TV, FML[/release] [quote]You, and 23 others would like for this person to think about it[/quote]
I was gonna make a joke about how Facebook makes people suicidal, but then I'd be suicidal too.
[quote]i think i chipped a nail, fml ):[/quote] "8 friends recommend intense therapy and medication"
Looks like a couple people I know will be going to some counseling very soon then... heh.
Apparently all Samaritans can do is 'listen' which isn't really the best thing to do 'suicide-prevention'.
[QUOTE=SCopE5000;33709341]Apparently all Samaritans can do is 'listen' which isn't really the best thing to do 'suicide-prevention'.[/QUOTE] Unless you're a trained professional, trying to talk someone out of it is either going to come across as condescending or rude and you'll make it worse
So why don't they get trained professionals then. If all they can do is listen then it would be something like: [code] user: i am going to kill myself user: say something if you think i shouldn't councelor: ... user: im going to do it [ user has disconnected ][/code]
