This may not be the right place to post this. | So I'm kinda going through a tough time now, but my mom is pretty mad at me for not "being careful" with a laptop. So she said some mean things and took away my laptop. Now I can't do my online classes, even asking her for it back won't work, she is completely ignoring me. I'm currently suicidal but I know suicide is a sin in Christianity. I have mild depression currently and I totally do not know what to do. Somebody please help. I ALSO REQUEST SOME PRAYERS :( | image tagged in black background | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

What differentiates right from wrong?

Isn’t the fact that it’s a sin what makes it wrong? There’s other cultures that teach suicide to be honorable. (at least in accordance with proper circumstances an example being Seppuku) What the heck is wrong with you? Trying to convert some kid over to atheism after they said they were having suicidal tendencies. You really need some serious help.

wOw, that is some weird freakout.

Sin isn't what makes it wrong, wrong is what makes it a sin - in accordance to the morality of society at large, right and wrong being relative to their norms.

If you are truly unable to fathom this, then you have not found the way.

Goodness gracious.

Society at large doesn’t matter anymore, now it’s the minorities that matter for some reason. Personally I think it’s stupid that as an example like 99% of people found the first Jake from State Farm ad funny, but then the trans community was offended by, “She sounds hideous!” and suddenly that was enough to destroy everyone else’s fun, but that’s just, “The brave new world”.

The whole concept of right and wrong is extremely stupid unless you believe in some sort of consequences. If you don’t believe you’ll experience eternal damnation if you commit suicide why not just end your miserable existence in this miserable world? You listen to your parents because if you don’t your dad pulls out the belt, your dog doesn’t try and chase a squirrel because it doesn’t want you to pop the leash, you don’t break the law ‘cause you don’t wanna get arrested or, you listen to your parents because they told you they’d buy you a toy, the dog doesn’t chase the squirrel because you’re already playing fetch with it and it’s too distracted, you don’t break the law ‘cause your patrol is almost over. You don’t do something unless you see benefit in it for you, wether it’s not having to experience a negative or getting to receive a positive. There’s no valid reason not to end your life without believing in some form of negative consequences.

"Stress makes you bald, but it's stressful to avoid stress, so you end up stressed out anyway. In the end, there's nothing you can do." - Sakata Gintoki
That quote captures the essence of life pretty well. Think about it, it’s stressful to be poor ‘cause you’re poor, it’s stressful to be middle class ‘cause your not quite rich, and it’s stressful to be rich ‘cause there’s nothing left to do at that point besides try and stay rich. Work is stressful, but also if you stay still too long you get cabin fever. Working 8 hours a day every single day or the rest of your life is boring, but also packing for a vacation is stressful. Living alone can be a bit saddening, but having a family is stressful. But, even though there’s an extremely fine line in between happiness and emptiness still you just gotta’ put on a big fake grin and tilt your head up towards the sun.
“If you have time to think of a beautiful ending, then just live beautifully until the end.

tl;dr

This sounds so high school for me to say, but there are 3 stages (hopefully, granted obviously not all get past the 1st) in an individual's moral/ethical development:

1. I can't take a cookie out of the cookie jar after snack time because mommy will spank me.

2. I can't take a cookie out of the cookie jar after snack time because it's against the rules.

3. I can't take a cookie out of the cookie jar after snack time because if I continue to do so, there won't be enough for everyone else at some upcoming snack time so therefore it is wrong on the grounds of being selfish and short sighted for me to do so.

If the threat of an old man in the sky burning you for eternity because you took a cookie out of the cookie jar after snack time is all that is stopping you, then you're kinda missing the point a lot. Just what do you think being "born again" means?

You know, that's why the Founding Fathers - who mostly leaned Atheistic or Agnostic - left in religion, because it allowed for a common bond within the community and because it offered a moral foundation for the masses, of which they thought most were not capable enough to be proficient when it came to intellect and morals. Remember, initially they didn't want the 'common man' to have the right to vote and came up with the Electoral College as a compromise for a reason.

I believe that you should love your neighbor, “pray for those who persecute you” and all, but it’s stupid to try and live a meaningful life in the existence you believe to be meaningless. Obviously there’s certain morals you naturally want to obey an example being how while chimpanzees fight among members of their own tribe they refuse to go for the balls, but if they’re fighting a chimp from out of their own tribe the nuts are fair game. But, why are you against the idea of breaking those natural laws if there’s no consequences? If you truly think shooting up a mall is the funnest thing to do. Why don’t you? Wouldn’t doing the funnest thing you can do be well worth getting an early death? It’s not like you’ll experience anything after death. So, why do you fear so why do you fear death?

This begins to bore me a lot?

You don't do those things because they're not nice, mkay?

Again, if someone is so developmentally stunted that they require the delusion of an invisible silent non-existent bogeyman to give them reason to act decent to one another, that doesn't say much about them - or rather, it DOES.
That there are so many that they form not just a sizable demographic, but an actual voting block whose collective mindset is shaped by the most base of impulses is a bit disturbing. Not that being of the lowest common denominator is something new, but that there are that many does not bode well for society as a whole.

I weep for the future.

But, what makes something nice? Why is it nice? Is it because, it’s putting someone else’s feelings ahead of your own? If so, why are their feelings more important than your own? Though, on the contrary you could also ask why would your feelings be worth more than theirs.
But, then again why’re feelings even brought into this feelings aren’t rational. Though, what makes something rational? You just decide it’s rational and therefore it becomes rational. Isn’t that in itself irrationality?
Why is a fetus that’s never done anything wrong it’s life and has 70+ years ahead of it considered to be worth less than a 90 year old who acted like jerk their entire life and is going to die soon either way?
Why is the average woman worth the same amount as the average man, even though the average man’s 190% the strength and 6” taller? Wouldn’t she only gain worth if she actually reproduces?
Why do we encourage women to not have kids?
Doesn’t that take away their worth?
Why do we encourage homosexuality?
No offspring can come out of it, therefore it is the text book definition of irrationality.
Why do we throw around the term, “phobic”, so much, but terms like, “retard”, “what are you autistic?”, etc. considered taboo?
Is it not true that a phobia is a mental disorder as well?
I have a legitimate diagnoses of trypanophobia, but if I said that terms like homophobic, fat-phobic etc. we’re offensive I’d get laughed at.
On the contrary, if someone diagnosed with a developmental delay said that, “retard”, was offensive they’d get a huge pity party.
Why are we supposedly overpopulated, but COVID-19 killing people is a bad thing?

Again, this is boring me a lot?

If someone's psychological and moral development is that arrested, then that's not my issue. It's rather bewildering to me in fact.

But again, that IS the purpose of religion, to offer guidelines to people who lack the mental capability to understand how to properly interact with other members of society and hopefully restrain them from giving into their most craven base impulses on a whim.

I'm sorry you're having a rough time. You certainly have my prayers. Please call a crisis hotline if you truly feel like harming yourself. Are you able to reach a school counselor, someone at your church? Are you able to reconcile with your mom?

Might be good to find out the reason, it could be a simple misunderstanding.

Well yes, it is a misunderstanding

You see, asian parents will never listen to you, they think they are always right. I have anger issues, so I did things lazily, and she thought i was throwing tantrum again. And she got tired of my anger issues so she decided to get mad at me for a misunderstanding. And me telling her she was mistaken does not work, she still doesnt believe me

Contrary to popular belief among kids, most parents really do want what's best for their kids. Once I became a parent I realized how incredibly difficult it is to keep the balance of teaching your kids, letting them learn from their mistakes and protecting them from harm that we know from experience can happen. Try to see her point of view, leave the door of communication open. I find writing a note is more effective than talking my mom and I never communicated well we started sending a note or text. Even if you don't give it to her writing down what you would like to say to her might help. Try to keep it positive and focus on all that she does do for you. I'm here if you need to chat.

I know this is a little late, but as someone who suffers from bipolar I definitely understand the idea of thinking it might be better to just kill yourself. Uhh, not very good with this emotional stuff, but when I was 13 my father died and as I mentioned before I suffer from bipolar so I was just entering puberty, I already had depression problems, anger problems, to make things worse my died, from the shock of my dad’s death not much later my grandmother died, and one of my dogs grew depressed from my dad’s passing and refused to eat until he starved himself to death and here’s a couple anime quotes that helped me get through those times.

“If you have time to think of a beautiful ending, then live beautifully until the end.”
- Sakata Gintoki

“The tougher it gets, the less a man should cry. Do you know why? Because tears wash away the pain and suffering. But those emotions become weapons when you truly need them.” - Oga Tatsumi

“If you run away now, you will be running for the rest of your life.
” - Reborn

Don't do that! Life has endless possibilities, for your depression you should seek professional help, as someone currently living in a well.. not physically threatening All the time, but having to miss out on a lot of things because of family dysfunction, and addiction problems, from a certain someone...
It can feel like your trapped, (obviously if ur in actual danger pls call the police, or if you are suicidal and think there's even a small chance you might do irreversible damage, hotlines are available).
You will be 18 eventually, which means your legally an adult, and can Leave home without legally having to tell people where your going,
I wish you the best, and hope your mental health and life dose improve, if the person taking away you laptop is now preventing you from attending school, well depending on your age that is kinda a crime.....so...umm......
Praying for you.

I'm just saying, if you don't agree, no need to comment.
We all know what happens when someone opinion doesn't align with everyone else's, some irrelevant 30 year old who collects Funko pops has to tell you that your wrong, and should change your opinion to fit there's.
wait
