I came across another one of those "My life sucks and I want to end it. If I get # notes/# followers before [insert date here] I won't kill myself" posts, rolled my eyes, and kept on scrolling.
Everyone on tumblr makes such a huge deal about them, so I'm wondering if I'm the only one who feels wholly unsympathetic. I mean, if that's all your life is really worth then I'm hardly going to feel bad about it. Frankly, it just seems like a childish cry for attention/more followers to me.
As someone who has dealt with depression and been put on suicide watch countless times, I find those posts really freakin' offensive.
When I posted my opinion on the matter someone tried to argue that the people who do that only want to know that someone out there cares.

I find that really hard to believe, though,
