Am I allowed to just rant?

If you would like to see why kids are killing themselves, I urge you to look no farther than this link.
Read the comments under it.
(I'm "Jonathan" by the way)
Just read them.
I had to walk away from it because I was going to explode on someone.

Wishes that people kill themselves, telling people with depression to “fake smile” and “suck it up”, implying that depression is not a real thing because some people fought in WWII, calling people "fat", bullying on a picture of a girl who got bullied to death, and ALL on a meme mocking the SUICIDE OF A REAL GIRL WITH DEPRESSION.

Is it immature to link this on my here?
Possibly.

I just have to know that there are good people out there. I have to know that I'm not the only one who feels this is wrong.

Clearly, these are some insensitive douchebages. I don't really know what your relationship is to these people, but I say delete and move on. I totally get why the meme upsets you, and I myself find it tasteless and unfunny, but I'd recommend just moving on. Not in the "god, just get over it!" way these people are advocating for victims of abuse and bullying, but simply because life is too short to try and make idiots see reason.

Full disclosure, I just skimmed a lot of it, because I can't fathom wasting my time dealing with these people, either.

Pictures like these were circulating for SUCH a long time after the story of Amanda Todd got around. I don't know what was worse: that or those ****ing pricks who were like "OH MY GOD BULLYING IS SO BAD OMG RIP AMANDA TODD!" Meanwhile, all they DO is make fun of people.

I agree, drop them all. What sad excuses for human beings.

Eeeek, I am not comfortable with somebody's likeness being used in a meme who happened to have committed suicide-- and especially when it is to go all 'WAAAAAHHHH!!!! Suicide is for quitters'. It is like the people are further twisting the most twisted idea that suicide brings people attention or for selfish reasons but now there are people behind a keyboard making that person's image as anything they want.

I'd move on from those people, it just seems a little too dirty to go down the rabbit hole with them about mental health.

How old are these people? Are they still in HS? But I agree with the above posters: you will not change the mind of people of like. Until they personally deal with the loss or the struggle, they just won't get it -- why? Becase they don't want to. (And because they have no humam soul.)

There was a girl who jumped in front of a bus and killed herself here on Staten Island earlier this year. Some idiot made a Facebook group that centered around mocking her, and lots of people posted in it to defend her and her memory. Most of the posts defending her went something like, 'yo deadass any faggot who's posting here u deal with me ill beat ur ass kill urself.'
