Question by No Chance Without Thor: What are your thoughts on Morgan Freeman’s take on our gun tragedies?
“You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here’s why.

It’s because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single victim of Columbine? Disturbed people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he’ll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody.

Question by ktcougarus: Anyone have good information about depression?
I feel like I might be depressed, but I don’t know how to be sure. I’m usually happy and smiling when I’m with my friends, but whenever I’m alone, I start feeling really sad and lonely and bored. My grades are suffering in school, because I don’t pay attention and I don’t feel motivated. I’m tired a lot (but that’s mostly because I hang out with friends until late) but when I finally do have time for a rest, I never sleep well. I know that a good diet and a sleep routine and all that stuff would help, but I am just not motivated enough to do it. Does anyone have any advise or sugestions? Or any information on depression and how to treat it? Thanks.
I should also add that me and my boyfriend just had a really slow and painful break up (I still have feelings for him, but he does not return them). But my grades were suffering before this, and I’ve had these feelings for a long time.
