REAL racism only counts if liberals can use it politically. Get with the program.

Lol.

Any given OP’s intentions when creating a post are wholly relevant, sweetie.

Your comment is highly plausible, if depressing; if not for the OP, then certainly for a lot of people on these types of C-D forums.

Bullies and their apologists just want to have it both ways. Find it disgusting that *that* kind of person is like *that* (usually some variant of weak, stupid, ugly, etc.) - yet when their own types of people get attacked by someone of even higher social clout or physicial strength, they commit the very whining they castigate the "crybabies" for doing. These macho/real man types are the most blatant hypocrites breathing oxygen.

There's also this story from CNN
Suicides under age 13: One every 5 days
The article starts about an 8 year old committing suicide, plus a chart about suicide rates among 11 and 12 year olds.

Thanks for the link, Phil. This is beyond heartbreaking. They're kids - they shouldn't have a care in the world.

Over 30 years teaching I had more than a few (40 or so) students who attempted suicide and several who were successful (fortunately less than 10).

In most cases they weren't showing any outward indications that a teacher would pick up on. A handful yes, but the vast majority no.

What did happen in many cases, and I count these in attempts, one of their friends would come to me, or another staff member who was trusted, and voice their concerns. We then would get involved.

In a few cases there was blowback from the parents, but that happens over damned near everything.

There were also a few who were killed in car accidents that I've always suspected were suicides (clear night, dry roads, run into a bridge/tree/off the road on a straightaway).

No, because not all Asians are Muslim, and not all Muslims are Asian.

That said, most people called "Asian" in the UK are Pakistani and are, indeed, Muslim.

Self-loathing is not a fluke its a main stream liberal/prog/Dem tactic.
Its child abuse also and the consequences will produce increasingly more results of death. It is a human rights violation, evil in intent with no benefit to the subject/victim. To describe it as a mind rape would not be to severe. Many of those who live are forever psychologically damage for life without extensive therapy. Its also a silent killer that could account for existing suicide rates. Its a public health issue.

Suicides are at the highest rate in decades, CDC report shows
https://www.vox.com/science-and-heal...ife-expectancy

The deep self-loathing that is sometimes present with the darkest depressive episodes is one critical risk factor for suicide.
