No to Ideation Shaming

From my friend, The Unicorn Whisperer.

Public service announcement from the Unicorn Whisperer:

People who shame those who have suicidal thoughts or have taken their own lives can kindly kiss my ass before I run them over with my wheel chair. Seriously, this is not a post where you can debate in the comments or say that those people are selfish. I don't give a shit about your opinion I only have love for those who suffer.



Depression is a real fucking disease and I feel nothing but compassion for those who fight it every day, those who are longer with us, and those left behind. Those who are dealing with suicidal thoughts or attempts: I am so so very glad you are still here. <3

Freedom2B: Seconded, UW.

Publicly Shaming Children Teaches Bullying as Normative

"Destroying Your Child's Heart – One FB Picture At A Time"

Public shaming is awful and is nothing less than societally sanctioned parental bullying. This is not funny or classy.  It is brutal and base. Not even a little bit funny.

1. Bully your kids and they will learn to fear you.  As in be afraid of you.  Cringing in your presence and hiding their lives from you.
5. They will think they are a joke, not to be taken seriously.  Their pain the only commodity to sell.
6. They will treat you as you have treated them.
