to avoid being incredibly offensive, i'd change
- the way you talk about his mental illness. laughing about the 'funny' things someone does as a result of mental illness is extremely inconsiderate and rude.
- saying things like "he should've been killed because he was a danger to himself" is horrible. just don't do it.
- diagnose him with an actual mental illness. misrepresenting mental illnesses is a big problem in all forms of media, and it's exacerbated when the person who suffers from mental illness isn't diagnosed.
- do your research. this is so important and i can't stress this enough. if you don't have a mental illness, you need to actually learn how it works before giving it to one of your characters.
