As a general thing, I find it much easier to reply to a thread that says 'I'm feeling bad, because of this, this or this reason, I just wanted someone to talk to, or to feel like someone understands' rather than one that says 'I feel really bad, and want to *whatever*' and not give any details.

I never know what I can say to threads that don't give any type of information about the reasoning behind the posters feelings, because I'm always frightened of saying something completely out of context or something that could make the poster feel even worse. At least when something is said by the poster that at least brings up a topic - trouble at home/problems with school/fight with a friend - type of thing, it can at least give a starting point for a supportive conversation to take place rather than 6 people asking what's made them feeling this way and generally going round in circles before anything constructive can really be said.

I hope that makes some sense...

EDIT - I also agree with everything that's been said - at least trying to make your post legible to everyone with font colours, not using chat-speak and stuff like that. Paragraphs are much easier to digest. I understand and accept that not everyone is fully able to use perfect grammar, but when things are written out in a fashion that can be read much quicker and more easily understood. I guess you could always just put what you want to say into bullet points, if you don't feel confident using paragraphs? I'd find a load of bullet points easier to understand than a wall of text.
