As someone who's been in that position many times in my past I feel I can have an objective yet empathetic view... Regardless, suicide is never the answer. I never really wanted to die.. I just wanted to sleep for a few years.
But uh, that's not possible.; ▶ Reply to This

Ah well, I'm all the better (or worse) for it.; ▶ Reply to This

Does nobody realize that some people drink just because they like to? And they don't get trashed and kill bussloads of schoolchildren?; ▶ Reply to This

How weird is that? ;)

Not all young people drink irresponsibly. Not all older people drink responsibly.
I would have to agree, there are a lot of people that could use some self control, but no one is perfect.; ▶ Reply to This
