the breakdown of political and racial relations, the eve of American democracy possibly failing

You have to be joking to think that these two are significant factors which cause people to kill themselves.

For those still in college, most colleges seem to be forcing students to come back to in person classes despite it looking like a horrible idea

Colleges aren't forcing anything; you can take the semester off.

So the equivalent of forcing students to go in person or waste 6+ months of their life, glad you agree.

This is an accurate statistic. I don't know a single person in my age group who has any sort of positive or optimistic expectations for the future.

Talk to someone who just quit a stressful job and got a new one at a weed dispensary lol. One my homies is riding a big high, pun intended.

Why wouldn't those depressing realities and possibilities not lead to suicide?

Im not considering it but over the last few months Ive noticed Ive been having darker thought spirals that getting into on here would probably get misconstrued into a block, so it doesnt surprise me to see this

if you think there's nothing productive to do as an alternative to going to college, then that's on you.

Yup. I intentionally tried to OD on my prescriptions once, unsuccessfully (obviously)

What type of prescription? What happened? You go to ER?

No, I'm talking about how progressives are excellent at armchair politics but come time to vote, they don't.
I should @Broseph_Stalin

And if you kill yourself over George Floyd, or any other person, then you weren't already of a sound mind to begin with.

Sorry that you're unable to process the idea of people taking a gap year, especially if they're concerned about COVID.

Apparently that's an extremely radical idea.

Genuinely the only reason I haven't killed myself is because I'm going to die eventually, no reason to rush certain oblivion. Makes me not suicidal I suppose

Fuck off, sane suicide isn't a thing. A man was murdered, that's a legitimate thing to be depressed about ignoring the broader systemic racism that lead to it.

I'm sorry to know that, that must be rough but one day my friend somewhere in the future they'll be less of these cretins to hurt or kill anyone as more and more younger people are properly educated and will drive out the hate that is hurting this country and holding us back.

Just got to keep fighting and push back against these hateful cretins that are trying to destroy this country and kill many Americans on top of it, just keep fighting for the future and go out and vote!

Still not sure whether that's luck or incompetence.

If you think a significant portion of suicidal people kill themselves over random strangers being killed, then you're just being dishonest.

Can't be too much of a failure if you are in college. Even if you take a victory lap keep going.
