In the same vein as what Grant's said -- please remember that we're not psychologists or psychiatrists. We are
not qualified to intervene in situations where someone's physical or mental well-being is in jeopardy. Do not ever pretend that, as a close friend, you're a substitute for a doctor or other professional. If someone ever makes mention of committing suicide or hurting others, do not hesitate to tell someone who is in a position to better monitor or help that person -- whether that be a parent, guardian, or school official.
I find this ironic. In English class our teacher's tell us how there is symbolism and such, and we don't understand it or think its there. Then FIRSTer's get a Game Hit, and we think EVERYTHING is a symbol and has some significance. - akoscielski3 [more]
