          <body><![CDATA[When I was depressed and suicidal, I had people who trivialized it.  I was emo before emo existed.  But look, if they really are depressed and want to take their own lives -- think about it -- they're SICK.  People don't kill themselves or hurt themselves to be cool or interesting.  They do it to end their pain.  These kids are in pain and probably use art as their own way to get by - as I did with my poetry. I once had a girl stop being my friend after my last suicide attempt because she thought I did it for attention.  She just saw manipulation instead of a girl who was in so much pain she downed bottles of pills so that her liver would shut down and she'd died.  It had nothing to do with manipulation and nothing to do with HER.  And yes, some kids do things for attention - but because they lack the ability to TALK about their problems.  I cut my arms for years as a teenager because I was half way hoping someone would see and help me.   There is also a HUGE correlation between artists and writers and depression/suicide that goes back thousands of years.   Some would argue we're more sensitive or more intune with the world  - I dunno.  But I wish it wasn't so easy to name writers off the top of my head who had ended their own lives early.  Or musicians for that matter.  I doubt they're trying to be interesting - they're trying to get out their pain and problems.  If they're pretentious little fucks that has nothing to do with depression haha.    ]]></body>
