Smoking is another bad thing. In fact, any habit can turn into an addiction, and that addiction causes problems all round.

I saw my dad have a massive stroke when I was 6, and since then he never picked up a pint or a fag since. Most of my family on my dad's side are heavy smokers too, some of them asthmatic to boot (this is where the alcoholics are), and the only time I ever smoked was when I was pressured by a girl who came to live next door when I was 12. I had one puff and never touched one again, it was vile.

I know a bit about depression too. That's actually worse than death; I've seen people who went around like there was absolutely no meaning in their life. And in life, I've seen a lot of stress and the kind of trouble that would make any ordinary person go insane.
Why don't they try to do something productive to keep themselves busy so they don't fall into depression?

If they don't want to be around ppl, they don't have to. They could read books or make crafts, or write songs & play music. Draw, paint...anything really.

Yass, that. He was living just to exist, like there wasn't any meaning to do anything other than drugs and alcohol.

And I used to be like that, but idk, I think the auditing part of my career has made me jaded lol.

O, I smoke cigs.

That's because I graduated hs when I was 15, right before I was 16, and I wasn't allowed to do any adult things even tho I was a hs graduate. My friends who were 18 would give me cigs.

It isn't a big deal to me. My dad never smoked & he died from cancer, along with a buncha other ppl I know.

I smoked for a long time. I quit and now I wonder why the hell I was ever a smoker lol. A lot of my family smokes.

Idk, my feelings on smoking are neutral, tbh.

I don't have situational depression, so idk, but maybe the depression kind of takes over before the person really knows that they are depressed. I mean, I can't imagine that most people live life always evaluating if they are depressed or not, instead I imagine that someone might suggest that they might be or they reach a state of depression so deep that they can't ignore it.

They do. It's more common among people who have addictions as well, because they tend to be in denial.

Well, I'll give an example of an adult thing I wasn't allowed to do.

When the movie, Scream 2 , came out, I wanted to see it soooo bad because I had a crush on Jamie Kennedy lol.

So I went to the movie theater & stood in line to go see it. Once I got up to the ticket booth, the girl asked me for my id.

I was like, "Errr, ok," and pulled out my college id. She looked at it & said she couldn't sell me a ticket because I had to be 17. I did argue with her & was like, "I'm in college tho..."

Omg, I was like so mad.

So ya, it was easier for me to get cigs than to go see an R rated movie.

I used to smoke loads. Loved my cigs. Started before anyone knew it was 'bad' and only gave it up because it eventually gave me an annoying cough. Good timing, because then it was outlawed pretty much every public place in the UK about a year later.

I also drink. I like it and ain't gonna stop. A bottle of wine every week is surely a social horror and will kill my liver.
