Codependency is one person feeling so badly about themselves that they feel they actually need another person to provide self-esteem for them, so as long as u want me to be that provider, you'll hav nothing bad to say about me,
now get back in formation.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

*GASP*

AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Wow. did you just finish your psychology unit in grade seven health class? Thanks for the little vocabulary lesson there buddy, I wouldn't have been able to understand your post without that wonderful explanation that doesn't AT ALL sound like a copy-paste job from a 12 year old's entry on wikipedia.

Now since you obviously don't understand satire, let me break down my response for you. I'm not actually thankful for the vocabulary lesson, but by expressing gratitude in such an obviously overblown way, I actually mean the opposite of what I say. The emphasis on "at all" in the last part of the sentece, accomplishes the same thing by emphasizing the satirical aspect of the statement in an obvious way, thereby expressing that it did indeed sounds like a copy-paste job from a 12 year old's entry on wikipedia.

Now, lets take this lesson, and apply it to Ben's post. Is this poem particualrly meaningful? Not especially, it sounds like the typicaly overly emotional, but painfully cliche lyrics that a teenager would write. Now, when did Ben state that he wrote this? That's right, at 14 years old. Therefore, we can deduce that he was, in fact, making a joke at his own 14-year-old-self's expense, in order to amuse the musicbanter community.
