Well, most of my friends are posers. I'm not someone who shrugs it off or thinks it's funny if it is the real thing. I have had a friend who tried to kill herself in front of my house. Just most of my friends are posers, so it just annoys me most of the time. If they're really trying to hurt themselves, I get alarmed.
