Ok. Been real busy, so sorry for the delay.

1. Ok, this I can relate to. I have been there, my friend. I didn't self harm, but I did sink into deep-deep depression. Hours of crying, or worse yet, just staring at the wall, beating myself up in my head. Just going over the mistake over and over again, like broken record, unable to think about anything else. I AGONIZED over mistakes. Ultimately, I vowed to do everything in my power to learn as much as I could about what I did wrong, so that I would never make those mistakes again, so I started reading. Psychology, Philosophy, Sociology and Culture Studies, Self Help books of all kinds, about marriage and relationships, about parenting, about management and being successful. At around 9 or 10 I started the research that became a lot of the stuff I've written here. What I read, said the same things over and over and over. Mistakes are not bad. Mistakes are good. Mistakes are how we learn. As a baby, you do not stand up and walk the first time. You prop yourself up, and fall over. You prop yourself up and hold yourself there, and fall over. You prop yourself up, and you hold yourself there, and manage to haul yourself up on your feet, and fall over. You prop yourself up, manage to haul yourself up on your feet, and hold yourself for a bit, and fall over. You prop yourself up, manage to haul yourself up on your feet, hold yourself there for a bit, and move your legs again, and fall over. You try, and try, and try, and try, and try, and try, and don't think about the fact that you still have to try, and try, and try, and try, and don't care who's watching, and try, and try, and try, and try, and get bored of trying for a while, and then go back and try, and try, and try, and try, until you do it. And you still screw up sometimes, so you get back up and try again. I hate the fact that bad parenting beats that can-do attitude out of us, but it does, far too often. You can do it! You CAN do it! YOU can do it! You can DO IT! YOU CAN DO IT! I believe in you.
2. Reading List:
   1. To anyone who needs help.
   2. All the good things we see.
   3. And, because it will probably come up (about your parents, not you), Rules of Arguing for Friends on the Internet, and also the thing it came from: Arguing 101: Learn the Rules

Well, I dunno if I already said this to you, TJ, but reading Doram's To everyone who needs help makes wonders and you immediately feel better and more confident. And remember that we can always help you in any situation, you just need to talk to us thoroughly instead of putting yourself down with destructrive phrases or such. And the chat is also a good room for that.

Also people who would gladly watch you die are true ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Don't take care about them if there should be anyone like this. Even if you keep paying so much attention on Pokemon - never forget what a person you are here, and even if you're not as good as Pokemon as you wish to, you've written a strong piece of history in this community you can be thoroughly proud of, and not even the best Pokemon player in the world can take away from you. Despite that, all what Harmless said (*thumbs up*)

And happy birthday and also congratz on hitting 100 thumbs up recently.

I've found some facts about humanity,does it relate it to your topic?

Helping other people even when it doesn't help you is pretty much the definition of "good person," but that sort of behavior doesn't come naturally. We're born as greedy little milk-sucking sociopaths, with no thought to anything but our next hit of sweet, sweet MomBoob. All the good qualities in humans have to be taught and carefully nurtured.

You might not think of science as an inherently moral pursuit, particularly if you've watched a Terminator movie or read Wernher von Braun's autobiography lately. But emphasis on science's ability to murder us all is a relatively recent thing. Traditionally, the act of scientific research is associated with austere, dignified British men like Charles Darwin.
