In a world where people actually kill little children, isn't it normal to get depressed?

Oh yeah; but if you focus on eternity and what is to come, the crap we are in now seems less depressing.

Take it from somebody who used to see the world as negatively as you do. I once came very close to killing myself. Then I realized that depression is more about the way you percieve the world around you than the way the world actually is. Everything is 50/50, and good and bad are no exception. For every bad thing there is something good of equal magnitude. The trick is to change your perspective and try to focus on the good, because the bad can easily overshadow it. \n\nNow that I've figured it out, I'm extremely happy and glad I'm still alive. And the world sucks just as much now as it did when I was depressed. There are a lot of stupid, useless douchebags in this world, but I REFUSE to let them ruin MY life.

That needs to be asked because sometimes people kill themselves by accident or it's very possible it may not have been suicide but murder and it was covered up. All people do not kill themselves because they are depressed however a large percentage are depressed.

yup lots of ppl do.... in my case its a recurring phenomenon..... like a cycle or something.... and when it comes, i'm very close to ending everything.... but then something always stops me.... cos, there are lots of things in this world to live for and fewer reasons to die for.... all i can say is, take it easy on urself and stop feeling so sorry for urself.... u gotta make friends and family... and once u get them, wouldnt that be worth living for?

MOST YOUNG KIDS AREN'T RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH. EVERYTHING IS JUST ADVENTUROUS AND FUN...BUT TO SOME SICKO'S ITS AN OPPROTUNITY TO GET OFF OR INTRODUCE THINGS TO CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS

If they are constantly fighting or even if there is just constant tension then that's worse for the kids in the long run.\n\nIf they are happier apart then it will be better in the long run for the kids. I just wish people would think more seriously about the state of their relationships before leaping into having children.

Kids are not stupid. The mother of my children died when they were still in diapers. I learned to show my emotions with them. They are now grown, and have helped me out emotionally many times even as children. I think it also helped them to see through their emotional tribulations more clearly. I know such sharing has made us much closer.

I don't know but I do know that when I was 10 I was seriosly thinking about commiting suicide because of my parents drug/alchole addiction.  My brother told me maney of times last year when he was 9 that he wanted to die, but I don't think he was seriose.  My friend went to one of those house things because she threatened to commit suside when she was like 9 or 10, because the DHS was taking away her mom.\n\nEDIT:\n\nThis took forever to find!!  well here:\n\nhttp://www.home-ed.vic.edu.au/2004/10/25/bullying-the-daily-grind/\n\nsad huh... :(\n\nhttp://aacap.org/page.ww?section=Facts+for+Families&name=The+Depressed+Child\n\n\n\nHope that helped!!

Someone hurting my children....for sure!\n\nIts a super scary world out there and people are crazy. You just never know what can happen!

I totally agree with your answer. I work in a children's hospital and you wouldn't believe how many people hurt their children. It makes me so sick to see kids in pain. If I had the chance, I'd beat the crap outta these parents that don't care about their children. Every child is a gift. Some people just don't get it. They should all be wiped off the face of the earth for hurting a child. Ok, I fell better now. Thanks for the chance to vent! :0)

When you say, "mean for no reason," I assume you mean without provocation from their victims.  I think the bottom line is because they never learned to respect other people.  Beyond that, there are countless specific reasons. Some could have a mental illness, others may have been taught to be cruel, either by example or through a cult or religion (Hitler, Pol Pot, Torquemada), and even others could do it out of fear, thinking that if they victimize, they won't be victimized themselves.  But as I said, the bottom line is that they never learned the golden rule, which is to treat others as you wish to be treated.  People are naturally selfish and have to be shown early in life the value of empathy and compassion.  And if you don't know that, you haven't spent much time around babies.  :)

Only if you deliver them.  By hand.  And let us remote-detonate them...oops, my hand slipped...and you were only halfway across the Atlantic...oh, well, Merry Christmas!\nSeriously: you are mentally disturbed.  Killing children is horrible, no matter what country they're from.  Grow up.

It is pretty common in the US.  Nobody is sure just why it happens, but it is less likely if you breastfeed and if you have help with housework and care of older children so that you can care for your baby.  It still can happen, and it is more likely with women who have a history of depression.  It is much less common in non-Western societies, possibly because they have a better support system for new mothers.

Suicide is an ordinary, but largely outmoded, biological response to feelings of worthlessness which can be brought about through many different disorders and circumstances. In the primitive human world suicide might have served the useful purpose of removing certain individuals from the community gene pool in order to make for a stronger human population.\n\nWhat seems madness to me is that someone might still have to face difficult situations without feeling like they had any friends or loved ones to whom they may turn for help. We should all be way past that point I would hope.\n\nWK

I know exactly how you feel and yes it is normal to feel sad and maybe even a little angry that she had to die in a such a terrible tragic way especially being a young mom... I lost my friend in a car accident a long time ago and still think about her often she was too young didn't even have a chance to have children and she would have made a great mother. But the pain does start to go away eventually and you should just try to remember the good times and if possible try to be their for the children she left behind and tell them what a great person and friend she was to you and everyone else.... That way no one will ever forget her....

Dude, I spent many nights pondering the outcome of suicide! I grew up very poor, and often thought it couldn't be any worse. Fat kid, Stupid kid, whatever all the other kids said was mean and thoughtless. Later I found that none of those stupid things meant squat. In my life I have touched other lives, even saved a few. That made all that suffering worth the pain. \n\nIt gets better. I finally found out I had some depression issues. Got some great little happy pills fron the Doc that make life easier. But it comes down to this, Pain and depression and suffering are all part of growing up and they turn into strength and experience. That strength grows each time you suffer. \n\nYou can use that later in life to help other people.\n\nMaybe you should talk to someone about treatment for depression. It's diferent for everyone. Suicide is not the answer.
