    Am I Caring Too much?
    Ok well I have such a huge heart and maybe to huge at times. Ok well one of my contact's on another website seems to be having problems. Since I started to talking to him I have been caring even more for them then maybe I should. But that's just how I am. But he doesn't like his school and he always seems really depressed but whenever we talk he is always nice and happy with me. But when I read some of his comments my heart breaks and what really pushed me was when there was a question that said " What is something that you wish you could get out of your mind?" and he said "suicidal thoughts" And I started to cry. I really care about him even though we only talk online. ( He lives in another country) And we have build a really great friendship to as well. But I really don't know what to do. I always try to be nice to him and I really do like him and he is such a great person. And he is 15 and I am 13 if that helps. And it is nothing like dating or anything just a really great friendship. But anyway thanks in advance and sorry it's so long.

    Is this website one where he gets advice? If so then I' sure they will help him. Unless he confides in you, there is really nothing you can do.

    Well it's on the site Yahoo answer's. And I really care about them for some reason I guess.

    Well if he is getting help and answers there that is good.
    You can't help everyone. It is good you have compassion, but know your boundaries.
    You are living here, enjoy your teenage years. If you find this so upsetting, stay out of the site for a while.

    Since you only communicate online and he may be aware of your age you need to be very careful. Any communication needs to be in the open like it is here. Do not talk in private to this person. He may be real or he may be a preditor and is playing you. Try to keep that in mind when talking to anyone that you don't have personal knowlage of. Keep it in the open where it can be seen by all. Be aware at all times. The internet can turn into a nightmare very quickly.
