[Pnx]

A lot of kids I knew as one were plenty malicious, heck I was plenty malicious. I just generally didn't have a sense of empathy or concern for other people's well being as a child, and as I understand it, that's actually kind of normal. It generally takes a while for the whole, "hurting people is bad" thing to actually set in.

I don't think he (directly) blamed anyone in particular (directly mentioning people)...unless I missed it ._.
And...saintly? You're such, in your own way.
^{I'm unsure how that's a basis here :x}

But the last part is agreed.

I had a really shitty time in school. I got stabbed, strangled, constantly had stuff stolen, and tried to kill myself. Luckily, I had 3 close friends that got me through and things improved a whole lot when I started highschool.

[TD1]

Wow, NAV, that's terrible. I'm really glad things picked up for you.

[Trapezohedron]

I'm just worried about whatever hell IG's been going through right now. But, as a citizen of the internet, I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to reach out to that guy and give help.

Nor am I even really sure if I can give appropriate and credible help at all.

E: Holy shit NAV. Holy. Shit. That makes me really sad, and also really happy that you got around it and things became brighter for you.

Life is tough. School is tough. I remember the time I was holding a meat cleaver and sitting on top the bannister of the staircase, screaming at my mother... But I got through that. Be strong everyone. Be strong, and we are here for you.

[Tack]

I could actually give less shits about IG. 13 is the age of self-entitlement.

Redacted.

Careful now, you guys...

B-b-but not all 13-year-olds are self-entitled!
At least, IG does not appear to be self-entitled to me, IMO.
Bad things happened. For a long time. Then he lashed out. Partially here, partially in meatspace. Of course, it isn't good, and probably shouldn't happen more, but he's not bad. He's just held things in too long, it seems.

Erh, I'd like to put thought before those words Tack. You're generalizing by age by...whatever attitudes you may attribute to it, when it doesn't apply at all in this scenario (check first: You've seen several attitudes/values at that age--is it right to generalize people by that age and connect them to those attributes without prior understanding?)

Also, sure, give less, but first understand his situation--while bottling up your feelings (until they explode, especially anger or sadness [which would probably then be mistaken for depression]) is not...practical(?), perhaps there's a lacking outlet to which he can vent it? Yeah, given how he did it, it would be perceived wrong (and probably deserving of...apathy(?), though I disagree) but the thought behind it counts.

He needs support. Basic idea: If people lack support or an outlet for support in the face of adversity or physical/mental danger, and lack the ways to cope with it, many things would occur [both in personal thought or action or towards those who possess such detrimental attitudes], most of which are...not good.
^{Though I've no idea why many people use the word shit commonly nowadays. Very strange thing becoming common...}

[Yoink]

The thing that always confuses me is saying "could give less shits" instead of "couldn't".
Or was it actually intended as a statement of support, saying that he cares more than the lowest possible amount of care?

[Xantalos]

It seems to be a statement of apathy - that they could go to the effort of not caring about them to a greater extent, but they don't care enough to.
