There is this guy in my math class and we arent friends, but Im worried about him. Today he was talking about how no body cares about anyone. And then he was said I hate life, I hate it. He then asked this girl if she cared if he died. she said yes. But it didnt sound passonite and he kind of got angry. I honestly didnt know what to say. I feel horrible, when I hear people say things like that. It bothers me I guess more than it should. I want to say something but I dont know what...? should I leave it alone?
If anything maybe say something to a guidence counsler... maybe he's got some things going on that he needs to talk about, it's a good place to start. I wouldn't leave it alone though, but if you don't want to personally get involved I'd do the guidence counselor thing.
he wants help. it sounds like he dosnt want to admit he needs help, and hes waiting for a savior. the same way i was. im ready to ask for my own help now. but for a while i wanted someone to force me into it. so i could hold onto my manly man image. talk to the teacher or a councelor. maybe get a couple kids in the class to go with you so no one is singled out, if everyone feels like he needs help. dont talk to him, he kows he needs help. go above him and get him help. DO IT DESCRETLY dont let that kid know your caring for him, because you dont know what hes thinking. he might not be suicidal, he could be homicidal. or lonly and want someone to be with, even if they dont want to be with him.
Because math can be a difficult subject - maybe the guys just freaking out a bit. I suggest make him a friend – maybe set up a math study group. Cheers!
well its a cry for help, people in my experience who act out and shit, are looking for help... you should make friends with him or something if you wanna get directly involved but the counselar idea isnt so bad either... but he is prob lonely and needs a warm hand so go cheer him up as afriend. were all the same species lol.
you say you're not friends, but do you know anything about this guy? does he have a special friend? divorced parents? abuse drugs/alcohol? lose a family member recently? a pet? anything?
Oh the most I know about him is he drinks a lot.. he comes to school drunk. and he does drugs. And I know only from what hes said was he once got caught for being drunk at school and his parents only grounded him for a day. So it doesnt sound like they care to much... I dont want to tell a guidance Counselor because what if he does have family trouble and they take him out and put him in a group home. I have known kids who live in a group home, and from the kids i've met its only hurt them worse. I think my best bet to make sure hes okay is to become friends. Thanks for the advice !
