...your friend is moving. There are people in the world who live with a legitimate concern of dying every day for things they probably don't want to have a part in and have no way of controlling or preventing. I'm sorry but get the *** over it, and cut the "unbearable pain" crap. You're just going through puberty and have raging hormones.
Nah.

Another friend of mine shot herself in the face a few weeks ago. And now my best friend is moving away. How would you feel?

Sorry for ranting in the rant thread.

1) That's not your fault, don't worry about it. It was her decision, and it was an incredibly poor one that is characteristic of a feeble, fragile, pathetic person anyways. Boo hoo she's dead, whining about it isn't going to change that. Get over it.
2) Facebook, Myspace, AIM, Live Messenger, cell phones, etc etc. I sincerely doubt they're moving somewhere where none of those are viable communications options.

i am honestly disgusted with the lackof sympathy you are showing to him. have you ever been through this situation? if you havnt then stfu and have some respect if you have then congratulations on dealing with it so well but he is going dealing with it very differently and needs either support or just somewhere to vent without negative criticism so i suggest we give both

My uncle OD'd on ecstasy when I was 10. Both my grandparents and my great grandfather died in about a one year period. My ~20 year old cousin died in a car wreck a couple of months ago, kid was as good as they come, wouldn't hurt a fly. Several kids in my high school committed suicide, and a very very very close girl friend of mine has attempted it several times and I've watched her life slowly collapse over the course of five years. I could go on and on, and I'm sure plenty of other people here could as well, with much more heart wrenching stories to boot. Everyone's got their share of problems, and part of becoming mature is realizing that you need to be able to handle those things by yourself. People who whine about things are just crying out for attention, and to be honest it's sick how selfish of an act it is to say YOU'RE hurting and looking for sympathy because some girl killed herself.

As for moving away from friends, I've moved away from all of my friends...from Georgia to Nebraska. Most of us don't talk at all anymore, not just me and my friends, but amongst themselves as well. Unless you go to a local college, you're probably not going to see 90% of your friends from high school after you graduate except the occasional breaks when you come home.

Life is a bitch, bad things happen to good people, and no matter how many BFF charms you buy, you're not always going to be best friends...or friends forever. It's ok to be sad about something, but to go so far as to say it's causing you some incredible, unbearable grievance is absolutely ludicrous. Get. Over. It.

Sympathy can only go so far. You only need to be as sympathetic as you see fit, you should never feel obligated to.

I agree with GTAF, I mean I can understand your hard time but saying shit like unbearable pain makes me feel sick.

I'm sure we all get our fair shair of bullshit thrown our way..

one of his friend's just shot herself and another is moving away (some people get more attached to their friends than others) and all you can tell him is to "get over it"...

It's get over it or live for the rest of your life being depressed and wanting to shoot yourself to.

We don't need to know your problems.

If you feel the need to talk to someone; find a close friend, relative, or go see a professional.

I've missed almost 2 weeks of school already, and it's due to having a UTI, and my stomach hurting. I'm forced to go to school, again today, with my stomach absolutely killing me. I have IBS as well, and so it's horrible. I want to be homeschooled so bad.

Also, don't tell me that I don't want to be homeschooled, because you don't understand.

I think you underestimating the power of the words get over it. Get over it means overcome it.. and not post on a forum of 16 year olds, that won't help you.. Unless you really want others to go "Oh, I'm sorry", and the sad truth is people will say it because they feel obligated to. But no one on the internet can feel the same way you do to be truly sorry for what you have to go through... They can think they do. But they don't. Which is the exact same reason Jesus used parables to explain heaven, because others can think they understand it, but they never will.

To be honest based off whats stated I could say thats nothing in my book, I'm sure many others could agree, but I have been there and I know it sucks... But do you know what? You shouldnt be the one seeking sympathy.. YOU aren't the one that is hurting, its not unbearable pain for you, it was unbearable pain for your friend who shot herself, and if its for the reasons I think, which is why one of my friends did the same, then you can't even begin to imagine the pain they had, and yours is minimal.

If you think that is unbearable pain, you're going to have many problems in the future...

Who the hell is Gamertag?

Also, I can tell you that "Gamertag" doesn't care about how much you "respect" him, so stating that is just pointless. "Good for you," in short.

I'm surprised at this post (well... not really) This is GTAF style when it comes to these things. Hard,Blunt,Cold, in in the thick of the apparent empathy-less statement...Truth. This how he posts such things. I wonder why.
I my self would prefer a individual to look outside on a clear day. The sun still rises and falls. The birds still chirp and sing. How dare they? No... Things move on. Ya see Bambi just got eaten...and the world just keeps moveing. Move on with it...

Also is anyone else here finding it interesting that mr.brightside is one of the more pessimistic individuals here? Meh.
