Epimetheus, if you are finishing your first year of Harvard, you’re a young adult who should know there is a proper way to speak to children, especially those you acknowledge are depressed, and this is not it. If you want people to value the content of your message (whether here, at college, on the job, or with your family and friends), I’d suggest you learn how to present it in a more constructive manner. Does your college offer public relations or communication courses? If so, I suggest you sign up for a few of them.
