See, someone who buys into that bullshit wouldn't throw around the word "crazy" so cavalierly.

Just wait until they spend an entire month on things like suicide prevention in high school. [b]It's complete overkill [/b]and it's counterproductive. There's a fine line between awareness and fetishizing it, and I am afraid that a lot of the "awareness" activities cross it. Factor in entertainment (series like 13 Reasons Why and other movies that sort of glamorize mental illness) and social media with access to cesspools like Reddit, and, yes, it's hard to separate the legitimately mental ill from the attention seekers.  Some of these kids just need to toughen up and suck it up and take some personal responsibility rather than be enabled by adults when they go looking for excuses for their poor behavior/performance, etc.

What a choice of words, PP.[/quote]

I choose my words very carefully and deliberately. Much of the "awareness" actually gives them ideas and appeals to the underdeveloped teen brain that craves drama.[/quote]
