Just thought that I should share this. Many people suffer from depression sometimes its brief sometimes its literally hell on earth. Society I believe brings most of these problems wheter its human nature to feel depressed is still debateble. It is a problem and should be taken seriously.
Maybe you have suffered through it and would like to talk about it or mention it here, I'll listen. I recently went to a brief depression period myself so I understand. Or if you know someone who has killed himself and would like to share it's cool.
Case in point of the recently releaed video of those columbine teens who shot up the school. There depression led them to take a drastic measure to aleve it. In their mind they where trapped and lost and only wanted a way out. A way to be accepted amongst their school.
In their case bullying was a major factor. Is it because society views it as normal for a bully to exist. How little do teachers care when they see a student get punched on or beaten. I have seen it, and it is very sad. It's incredible how cruel we can let ourselves become to either feel better about our own selves or just to get a laugh "from the cool kids".

I'm sure everyone here will be happy to listen.
