Fake Smiles

Lesson Num. 6

Sorry that this has to be a topic in a lesson..
I was running out of ideas.

What do you call someone that has crippling depression? 

Someone that needs your help. 

You can't exactly help someone that has experienced something different than what you have. 

The least  you can do is listen and earn their trust. So at the very least, can hear what it felt like, as if you had experienced it yourself. 

If someone is looking towards ending their life, then-..

First, attempt to understand what has happened in order for them think of suicide.

I don't believe that someone would kill themselves for no reason.

Afterwards, give them a reason to live. Befriend them, or help them find someone for them.

But don't try to ship them with anyone. If that fails,  then the odds of them ending their own lives increase by a lot. 

Your goal here should be to keep the dude alive. Not to look really cool saving them.

That was Lesson Num. 6.
