Even general convo threads get trolled in TLR + they soon disappear in a sea of bedwench threads, which means that the discussion never moves forward. That's why the same threads keep popping back up every few weeks.

As for counseling, some brehs just need someone to talk to and for whatever reason, they feel more comfortable talking about their problems to a bunch of strangers online. These depression, anxiety, suicide threads will continue to pop up whether we like it or not. Why not have a dedicated forum where we a) direct the brehs towards professional help if possible

and b) link them with other brehs who have gone through what they're currently going through (a support group of sorts)?
i have alot of friends who work with troubled kids.. my Mother works with troubled teens, on a daily basis..

the bolded, is the furthest from the truth..

its just not a good idea, man.. theres actual people to reach out to.. not the internet.. had you suggested a thread where you could get actual help in your city/community.. say one, where no one could reply.. just get the needed information.. you may have something.. but,even that.. on a forum that thrives primarily on fukkery, hip-hop & sports.. just isnt the best of ideas..

hell.. we can barely get people to take The Root as serious as the other forums, and that should be popping off alot more tbh..

You raise some good points. How do you suggest we deal with this issue going forward?

i just said how, in the last few replies..

@Rawtid has as well.. this isnt the place for it..

Breh, whether you feel that this is the ideal place to be dealing with this issue or not is irrelevant. There are countless of threads dealing with these issues and there are going to be even more in the future.

How is it a problem to organize these threads into a subforum?

Saying "this is not the place" is not going to make them go away. People already come to the coli to seek help whether we like it or not.
