Too true! Im glad you said something cause I was going to loose it! I work with young people with this kind of issue. They often feel like noone gives a rats ****. Comments and attitudes like some of the ones Ive read are about as helpful...

Outback Chick, you did do the right thing. They often need a bit of a reality check. And youre the one they really needed it from, as it directly effected you too.

If I can say one thing about the people out there who do try and take their own life. Don't condemn them, it just fuels their isolation! Put yourself in their shoes. We are Aussies (last I checked), we look out for our mates. We dont kick em while their down like the Yanks do.
