Okay, no offense, and i am saying this in the most respectful way I can think of but some of you guys vent/overshare in the comments too much. Lately, i’ve been noticing a pattern of people talking about super sensitive topics in the comments (I.e SH, self-deletion, etc) and its gotten to the point where d0xxing has happened because of it. And again, respectfully I think it's better if you guys just stop like talking about super sensitive/triggering topics in the studio comments in general. A lot of these subjects have led into other people panicking/getting triggered and 9/10 times it HAS caused SOMETHING in the studio comments. Which has led into MORE problems, like the ROSS comments being off AGAIN because of incidents like this that escalate I’m sorry about whatever you’re going through I really am, but i think it would be better for the both of us if you got help instead of saying you’re going to off yourself in the comments. For example: Going to therapy, going to a guidance counselor, talking to your friends about it, talking to your parents about it, callng a hotline, going to sites for tips on to improve your mental health, etc. ALL of those are much better and safer options then going to the ROSS about it. We’re ROSSers, not licensed therapists. Most of us are children/Teenagers. NONE of us are Qualified for super heavy subjects, nor knowing what to do when this stuff happens. And in a way I can understand, the ROSS/SOSC can be a comfort to many people, and I can understand that some may want to feel comforted by their favorite people after a really long/bad day. And I do feel like venting to the ROSS isn’t exactly bad in general. But there's a HUGEE difference between simple venting and threatening to end yourself and talking about SH in the comments. In my opinion, I think venting on scratch in general isn’t a good idea, as everyone can see your vent and can react to in whatever way/ can use it against you. However, if you really have no where to go- there are a lot of venting studios on Scratch you can go to to talk about these problems instead of going to the ROSS And to the people seeing these vents: You are NOT responsible for someone’s happiness, I know it can seem overwhelming but you do NOT have to get involved if you know you aren't experienced with that kind of stuff. Some people just need time to let stuff out and vent out their feelings, however, you don't gotta be apart of that. This might be a controversial thing to say, but sometimes you just gotta let them be to let out their own emotions or whatever theyre going through. Because as seen as last time with cocaly, getting yourself too involved can lead to even more problems. I’d suggest you wait until after they calm down to talk to them and comfort them as people can say things they don't mean when they’re going through something. This post might be a bit controversial, and I know it can seem harsh. But as someone who has gone through a TON of mental health problems/traumas, This had to be said. I'm saying this not because i want to single you out or hurt anyone, but because i dont want to see this community in shambles, i dont want it to end up like the SOSC..So i know it can seem harsh, but PLEASE listen to me here That's all I'm going to say for now, I hope you guys take this in. Goodbye.
