You're right BB
If he truly is suicidal, then he needs to get off the forums and go seek psychiatric help ASAP.
I believe the words of Michael Jones can put everything into perspective.
"Back then hoes didn't want me
Now I'm hot they all on me"
Who?!
I completely agree. The anonymity of the internet can be fun to play around with from time to time, but it doesn't change the fact that there are actual people behind the screen names.
Like several others, my guess is that Sinister is likely in need of a little perspective, and I think it's perfectly acceptable to point that out in a constructive way. However, that hasn't been the goal of every response. Lots of folks are being assholes just for the sake of being an asshole, or because there aren't any real consequences for being an asshole on a message board. Which, in my opinion, is every bit as much of a move as scratching your face.
I believe I provided that
I never did anything like flip on my dad, but my dad pretty much let me go anywhere I wanted.
I have no idea whether or not he's suicidal, or even close, so I'm not making any predictions or assumptions in that regard.
I would point out, though, that people who are suicidal often aren't thinking rationally enough to recognize that they want/need help. Why take the chance of acting like a jerk? What do you gain from doing so? A couple laughs? Big whoop. You might think that taking such extreme action over something said to you online is silly, and I'd be inclined to agree, but it doesn't mean that it hasn't happened before.
That is why you are the winner that you are today.
j/k
He was definitely in the wrong, but at the same time it's hard to get on him for what he said when his parents are sitting there calling him a cancer and telling him he needs his ass kicked. Child or adult it makes no difference...
Calling people names and insulting them just because you disagree with them isn't right.
Exactly. What's being overlooked is that immaturity is immaturity, parent or child. You expect the child to act childish, not the parent.
Anyways, Sinister, if you're reading, try to make up with your family. Maybe waiting a couple of days to let things cool down is ok, but it's almost always a bad idea to make life-changing decisions when you're emotional. You might get lucky and really find that one woman/man who'll be dedicated to you, but no one else will really give a , except your family. It's a cold world and no one can afford cut off the people who are almost certain to be his best allies. People say they don't mean when they're pissed, and alot of the time you're going to have to sack up and be the better man.
Just for the record I think the whole family is ed up. The 20 year old is a ing freak though. When I read that part of scratching his face up I laughed because that is crazy. Then I started to think "what kind of help is this kid going to get" I am thinking years of the head doctor and meds. You just don't start hurting yourself over moms car. Anyways he will not get the help he probably needs. So I am guessing this freak will either kill himself but more likely hurt someone else. I am reading ALOT into this but I can't get past the whole scratching himself up to the point he bleeds. No reason for that. Crazy folks do that. Being a internet board, predicting the unpredictable, I am guessing he will not get any help and hurt someone real bad. Either himself or someone else. Regardless that is a ed up story. One that I actually believe though. Probably wrong there too.
lol. pretty dman good assessment.
refer to above quoted post. all said and done an attention trying to get more attention.
yeah i remember seguspur starting a thread about how someone tried to kill themself by walking in front of his car, or a car near him. i can see that person starting out much teh same way sinister is.
for what its worht though, i do agree with what some are saying. family is all that matters. im only 26 and have a way better relationship with my parents and family than i ever could have dreamed at 20.
Dude just needs to enroll at Virginia Tech. What could possibly go wrong?
He's Asian?
I got halfway thru the OP, and I thought this must be a joke, so I looked down at the bottom of the post expecting to read about the cab driving up...
but no....
Lot's of hardasses in this thread. Sure the scratching your face and throwing a tantrum part is ing re ed, but you guys are never telling me you've never gotten pushed to the edge? Never been in a shouting match with your parents? Please. I'm going to go ahead and give him the best advice so far, MS it doesn't sound like your parents actually kicked you out of the house, they were just frustrated. Go back and make peace, and ask next time before you borrow the car.
Remember we are only getting one side of the story.
I think we can all agree that we have learned something in this thread.
baseline bum also scratched his face and ran out of the house crying when he abused his parents at one time in his life.
;p
so, did he ever come back in and tell us what happened? maybe he moved back in and his parents took away his computer priviledges!
I agree with some of this, but he's posting this on an internet message board, what does he expect? He's getting called a pussy emo got for acting like, well, a pussy emo got. Telling him to kill himself and whatnot is over the line I guess, and yeah the dogpiling is definitely a bit much, but what did he expect?
And from my experience of reading MisterSinister/Shagia, he seems intelligent enough to not take anything said on SpursTalk too seriously.
I'm not entirely sure if I am included in this, but I'll go a head and rephrase whatever I've said in this thread so how I feel about the whole scenerio is pretty clear:
I wish both of my parents weren't dead so I could have the opportunity to completely disrespect them in their own house, the house that they are kind enough to let my adult ass still live in, and then come and cry to an internet message board so all of the amateur psychologists can make a mountain out of nothing but a king-sized temper tantrum.
He has no clue what feeling all alone is, or being emotionally insecure and God knows whatever else until he no longer has his parents, so my constructive advice? Try having a little more respect for the people that have wiped your ty ass when no one else would, and apparently still do, and to THINK before you open your mouth. Your 18 years are up, so everything your're getting from them now is just a bonus ... how about appreciating that a little more?
Did his mom over-react? Maybe ... but her reaction would indicate to me that that wasn't an isolatated incident, but something that's been stewing for quite some time now. But, we don't have both sides of the story, so who knows.
