I'm new here and I'm going to get right into the mess of it.
I feel depressed myself, but...
I'm in school and many of the people I hang out with repeatedly say 'I want to die,' 'I need a gun,' or variation of those throughout the day. I've told them that I wished they wouldn't say that because I knew someone that actually killed them self, but the next week they just start up again. None of them are beaten at home, or are starved or bullied, so they have no reason to wish for that(unless they have some disorder).
I don't want to blow them off because I don't believe them, but if I do I'm afraid they actually will kill themselves. I'm depressed about life in general and I really don't need to hear this everyday when I actually do have issues at home. It just makes me feel worse and I have contemplated the idea but realized it wouldn't benefit anyone(especially if someone found me before I died).
What should I do about this situation?
