That works in the short term, sure. However, it has this bad side-effect of leading him on to believe that if he wants a jolly little ego boost, he can always have a hissy fit and say he's going to kill himself. Hell, the few people who got me out of depression didn't do it by saying nice things and fluffy comforting words. They did it by making me feel like absolute crap, and giving a healthy dose of things to think about on the side. The best thing to do would be to show him that these cries for attention won't get him anywhere. If he wants people to like him, he's got to be likable, not some depressing little sot who's always whinging about something despite not actually having any problems. well obviously while your out of a depression you are insanely bitter with a I dont care attitude! Oh, and del, its because of ur avatar, no other reason. People online identify people with that. Heck, im starting to think wakka's a big fat guy with a hairy chest who doesnt like to wear shirts! Back on topic: does he smoke? he could hide this from most people and drugs can often lead to suicidal behaivor. Maybe steroids or pot? Yeah he smokes pot sometimes. =/

I'm not trying to shoot you down, but I don't believe that every Christian band is there just to brain wash you. Like I said above, the Christian bands that play for christian crowds, are just there to glorify God through their music. Have you watched that documentary movie Jesus camp? It seems like something you'd throw up over. haha.

I see two kind of "Christian" bands, if you will. There's the Christian band for Christians, and the Christian band for non-Christians. Bands like Pillar and Casting Pearls are for Christians. Sure, its possible for someone to be saved by it, but its mostly meant for Christians. They play for Christian crowds. Skillet used to be the same way, now they're kind of moving away from that (which is not bad). Then you have bands like, I don't know, Norma Jean. They're Christians playing for non-Christians. Their lyrics aren't as cheasey as some of those kind of bands and are easy for non Christians to relate to. Sure, Christians go to see them, but I believe their main goal is to be playing for those who don't know Jesus. But yes, there are some bands that should not be considered Christian bands. Like He Is Legend and Zao (once was a Christian band) ... Does this make sense to anyone? By the way: Sorry I bumped this, but I was looking for a thread like this and didn't feel like starting another one of these topics.

Blindside, and Underoath. That's about it. But underoath is really more emo screamo.. Oh and to the topic creator, alot of those bands are more punk/emo-ish.. I'd say A Static Lullaby was the only post hardcore band you named. And Flee the Seen.

Heh, this got bumped? Anyway, it's been quite a few weeks later. He hasn't committed suicide. He's still a spoiled little jerk who doesn't have problems big enough to commit suicide over. Him and his girlfriend still fight. Same old blah...

Ohh... I get it now.. Lol @ calling me Hock.

He deleted the blog, I haven't talked to him since Friday, but he's done things like this before.. For the attention, I mean. He just wants his girlfriend to "love him more"

Shut up. :evil: Some people on here really do help. I just don't feel comfertable going to his parents/anyone else because this probably is just another attention seeking act. You know, I doubt he'd do it. He has everything he wants too. A nice house, rich family, a great girlfriend, it's his stupid attitude that he walks around with. A big "[bleep] you" to the world. :notalk:

You really think that's it? Because alot of people have been saying that too.. I don't want to tell him that but I also do. She's not worth it.

Anymore advice :(

He is a brat. No joke. He's one of the richest people I know, he smokes, and .. I don't know I'm mad at him now. He gets everything he wants and still believes his life sucks. Shows that not all of that crap can make you happy. :notalk:

He is indeed everything you said. But I honestly agree with what you just said right there. He's in over his head.

I don't know where else to go for help at this time, because I need it right now, so let me just give you a brief explanation.. My friend is 15, he's been going out with his girlfriend for 7 months, and he believes that this girl is totally going to be "his one and only love forever." They always always fight over things, but then the girl can make things right instantly just because my friend really loves her, right? So he believes he's the one causing all the fights, and yeah. I don't know, he wrote this really long thing in a blog about how he should just continue to shut out everyone in the world b/c it wouldn't make a difference and then says that he needs us as his friends, when we're all ALWAYS here for him. He cuts himself, he goes around unhappy most of the time, he's an angry guy too. But still, he's a great guy down inside... and he's helped me with alot of things... :cry: Please don't suggest suicide hotlines either :|

I just don't have an urge to go out and be social at this point in time. It just sucks :(

7 best friends??

Not sure if I should start up on meds or not. I believe I am suffering some kind of depression though.

My specialty: Scrambled eggs Blah. The butter turned to brown the second I put it in the pan... I dunno, I used to be able to cook pretty decently. :(

I don't talk much in real life.

So, I don't really get out all that much, and get invited by my best friend to sleep over tomorrow night. The thing is my mom doesn't trust me all that much and makes a huge fuss over everything. She talks way too much whenever she's with my friends, and reveils somethings I don't want my friends knowing... I realllyyyy want to go to my friends house but don't want any trouble with my mom... Yeah. Is it worth missing memories with your best friend?

Forgive me if this is spam... But things are hard right now. And no one seems to care. I got in a terrible fight with my parents.. I hate it. On top of that, I have this best friend, and I think I'm losing her. We barely ever talk or tell each other any personal info anymore.. It's hard. I used to do EVERYTHING with her and tell her EVERYTHING. It's not just these problems. There are others. But I just don't like the way life is right now.. I don't know what to do about it. I try talking to people but I never know the right words to say exactly. Can anybody give me some advice.. I know it's stupid to put this on the internet... but please. :cry:

I went thru the worst social life slump after my 10th grade year in high school, i had just moved down south, i was damn bored that year, my post count went from 10 to a thousand that month alone, school started and that was the only time i could actually talk to people and see them, but i was so pissed that i wasn;t where i wanted to be, i never made friends i just kept to myself.vacation came, my cousin came over one night, we played live, and he was like why don't you come with me 2morrow, my girl doesn't wanna leave her cousin home, and i need sumone to go with us, and i was okay, and that marked the turning point of social life slump.

as a matter of fact, I do. I just think that isn't funny.

That was real intense the way you cussed. Man, you so intense. You like, hxc intense. Roger that. Affirmative. The [bleep]..?

Who give a [bleep] about disney channel movies..

I know what ghostbusters is you dumb[bleep]. I mean why would that be a 'feel good' song...
