what was i supposed to do?
 
i was studying with some friends today and one of them is taking abnormal psych. she started talking about suicide and basically making fun/jokes about it. she was like-i literally have a list of things that are most effective...then she proceeded to read them off and make fun. my friend died a few months ago from suicide so it hurt. a lot. i just starred at my computer screen but it hurt so much to hear. ughh i dont know why im really posting, just need a little support.

*hugs* sounds asthough its been pretty rough for you today
is there any chance you could tell your friend about your friends suicide? maybe then theyd be more sympathetic about the issue

Awh hun, that's horrible. Does she know about your friend and what happened? I hate when people makes jokes about serious things like self-harm and suicide - it's no joke. xo.

im not good enough friends with the girl who said it to ask her to stop or for me to get up and leave. so i just took it. but it brought back too much. :/

its so horrible someone to talk about suicide like that. its like they don't understand how serious it is. like when i was with my sister and her boyfriend, we were watching horror movies and they were saying all the time that they would kill themselves if they were in the position of the people in the movies. it made me feel awful.

i hate it when people make jokes about things that are so serious it simply is just is not funny and it is insensitive.

I'm sorry that you had to experience that, is there anyone else who you feel able to talk to about how it has made you feel? Please take care and get in touch if you want to talk.

I am sorry sometimes people just don't think about what they are saying. If she does it again could you make an excuse that you need to do something if you don't think you can say anything to her or just get up and leave. If people aren't going to respect your feelings then you shouldn't have to put up with them.
Take care of yourself love
