[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Social media + lack of religion + general degradation of human morality and basic decency towards others.

Sad state of the world we live in.

My religion teaches suicide is a sin.  And teaches hope, and bringing your problems to God.  [/quote]

Keep religion out of this. It doesn't belong here. Religion has been a source of trauma and mental illness for many, many, MANY people.[/quote]

Not np.  As religion has been a source of great strength for many, but your desire to sweep people's belief systems under the proverbial carpet is interesting and reflective on today's society and quite possibly, why our DD feel they have no where to turn.

I give exactly zero F's about your belief system. None. Zero. You are free to believe as you wish. And pass it on to YOUR kids. And I'm happy for your do that if you wish. But, Not mine. I come from a religious background so I am well aware of the stress, humiliation, and trauma that can come from that. So, it is not an option for a lot of people. I'd even say many, including women, gays, and anyone (which is most of us) who are deemed sinners according to dogma.

I find your desire to not acknowlege that and to put religion out there as accepting of the issues that our daughters are facing  to be interesting, as well. Especially when we know it is, largely, not. And it's reflective of a certain demographic that tries to shove their religions down peoples throat and judge people who are not accepting of that as an option for them. Which is also interesting in that sort of attitude, including your post, is about as far from Jesus' teaching (and indeed many other deities as well). And which is a huge turnoff for many. [/quote]
