Honestly? Just ignore him. You'll deal with people like that, and worse, all through life. You just have to ignore them and not let them get to you. Stay positive, and you'll be alright

You're quite welcome I admit I'm still learning to not let stuff bother me. It's quite easy for me to fly off the handle at the drop of a hat, but I think I'm getting a little bit better. Maybe X3

Although I don't struggle with depression and stuff, it bugs me whenever my friend says he wants to drink bleach. About a week or two ago, he would not shut up about it and had to throw a joke in there about him eating broken glass or drinking bleach. He also told me to drink bleach. It was soooooo annoying. Eventually he got tired of it, plus he could tell that I was getting mad so he stopped. And I told him to stop too, so my advice would be for you to just tell him to stop (politely)

Or maybe he actually feels that way and is trying to tell people
That's what I've found that that means

Maybe ask him if he's ok? Bring up the fact that he's saying these things. If he laughs and makes fun about it and clearly is just joking, punch him. People use trigger jokes all around me and I just. I feel bad when I try to tell people to stop saying something that they find funny, but it offends me.

Don't give him any attention. He obviously doesn't deserve any if he's making jokes like that
