Nosey Neighbor or...Good Friend?
Recently on another forum someone posted saying "I don't know whether to shoot myself or go bowling
". I didn't think anything of it at the time, but noticed later that week that there was an argument going on.
It seems that this person posted the same thing a few days later in another post. I had no idea that a book about the shooting at Columbine had been written. So when this person had written it again, a friend of mine called the local authorities and asked them to check on them.
The person writing this suicide type post was EXTREMELY angry...sent out posts announcing that they had a good laugh with the authorities and how DARE anyone call the cops on him/her.
As I sit back and look at this, from my perspective, shooting yourself is not an appropriate thing to post. With all the suicides and school/work shootings, is this something to joke about? I applaud my friend for having the gumption to make certain this person was okay.
Do you think my friend was being a nosey neighbor or a good friend?
