Depends if they were close to the dead classmate.

Well, yeah, I know, like i totally understand what they're going through, but it's sorta depressing reading statuses every day, which is why I emphasized "sorta" in the post. You understand? Not trying to be condescending...lol

Yes....but I think the best friend, or long-term boyfriend/girlfriend of the classmate have the right to keep mourning. But if someone barely knew the deceased, or even hated them, it's quite dumb. Like "I still can't believe Bob is dead ;((((((((( WAKE ME UP FROM THE NIGHTMARE!!!" it is annoying. LIke, if someone dies, you shouldn't suddenly become their best friend.

Yeah, like there are two people that were best friends with the deceased and personally I don't really mind THEM doing that, but there are a lot of people that, after the person died, are acting like they were best friends with them and are posting statuses. Like, shut up. You were never friends with them.

People respond to death in different ways - even if they weren't close to the person, it has impacted their life, and they may not only be mourning the loss of someone they knew, but the loss of a young life, and that is very sad in itself. By mourning the person they are releasing their anguish towards a very sad event that shouldn't happen, doesn't matter if they knew the person well or not.

They should suffer in silence.

I concede, I mean that makes sense. When I wrote this post a girl in my school had passed away (may she rest in peace<3) and all of these people who never crossed paths with her were upset. I could totally understand her friends and family and even aquaintances, but random people being so horribly distraught over a death like three or four months later kind of bothers me.

what a terrible thing to say. everyone grieves differently. you shouldn't judge someone that's going through a painful loss, whether or not he/she was close to the classmate.

I didn't mean it in a terrible way. I didn't mean that it's not okay to grieve a person you barely knew. I wanted to italicize "sorta" but I had to caps lock it instead. At the time of this post, a girl had passed away and people who never crossed paths with her were posting statuses and were upset. Her friends were even getting used to the fact that she wasn't coming back. I'm not saying that it's not okay to grieve a death for a long period of time. It's kind of like Steve Jobs. People who never met him were crying over it. They were inspirational people, yes, and they were both amazing, but if you don't know them why are you upset?

I think by the time a month has passed, it's not so much annoying as uncomfortable. It's like, it happened, we can't change it, and it's about time we start living with it instead of dwelling on it. I understand it takes a long time to get over something like that, but everyone doesn't have to dwell on how sad they are when it is so long after the incident.
