[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not understand what the heck is wrong with the MYOB posters. Are these the same type of people who would walk past an unconscious victim in the street instead of calling for help? These are the same type of people who ignored Kitty Genovese's cries? Do you want other people to do the same if your kid is sick or in in danger?

[b]Depressed kids commit suicide.[/b] It's not morally okay to ignore this. First step would be for OP's kid to tell someone in charge at the college. Thank you for caring about someone else's kid, OP. [/quote]

No need to be dramatic. The majority of depressed kids do NOT commit suicide. And the amount of public apathy towards Kitty was exaggerated. [/quote]

Wow, PP. Just to be clear. If your kid sleeps 20 hours a day when they go off to college, you want others to mind their own business? Oookay.

Nobody said THIS particular kid is suicidal or that all depressed kids are suicidal. But depressed kids are at risk, and whether this kid is suffering from depression or some kind of illness that they may be too exhausted to seek help for, this amount of fatigue not normal and should be red flagged by anyone with any decency.[/quote]
