how do you do fellow kids

Ikr? Depression isn't something to joke about/be taken lightly. I'm currently fighting with three different people, trying to convince them to pull their lives together.

Not taking it lightly. Anything can and will be joked about. You are wasting your time trying to help people pull their lives together,. Best thing anyone can do is lead by example

Just because it CAN be joked about doesn't mean it SHOULD be joked about. I've legitimately helped some people get out of bad situations. Also, how are you supposed to help someone who is literally thinking about ending their own life by being an example?

It makes me irritated when people pretend to be depressed because its a "trend".
Its a serious illness that people shouldn't joke about
