"That's why I give my kid St. John's Wort. At least it's not gonna make my kid kill himself, even if it doesn't work for shit."
Russell Bigelow,

"As a despised father, I believe suicide is just a smokescreen for America's real problem—patricide."
David Zarnke,
Web Designer
"Kids with depression see through all the bullshit that everyone else accepts. The Prozac just gives them the clarity of mind to follow through with what they need to do."
Lazaro Padron,
Bank Teller
"Conversely, I read that kids placed on depressants are spontaneously bursting into joyful choreographed song-and-dance routines in town squares nationwide."
Eric Morarend,
Systems Analyst
"What do people expect with kids being fed the Yu-Gi-Oh! and the Dragonball Z and the whole Japanese cultural imperative to save face through ritualistic seppuku?"
Denise Parham,
Teacher
"Goddamn little brats! They want something to kill themselves about? I'll give them something to kill themselves about."
