Learn Some Respect

I just found out that a girl I went to high school with, died yesterday. It was one of the most shocking things I've ever heard and of course, it came from the biggest source of information nowadays, facebook.

She was so popular and bubbly and nice to everyone, it's hard to think of her as really being gone. I didn't get to know her very well, but she was the best friend of many friends of mine. I wish I had gotten to know her better...
One of the worst things though? See, one of her best friends (that I know of) created a memorial group for her. It was amazing to see the amount of people's lives that she touched and how many people really cared. But, even thought the group was just made today, it has already been hacked & spammed. It's honestly very disgusting to see these "people" posting fake comments on the wall about "who killed her" and "how they did it" and "what a [expletive] she was" etc. They didn't know her from Eve I'm sure, and to say those things about *anyone* has to be one of the greatest tragedies. She was a good person (as far as I know), and even still, no one deserves that. It makes me sick to think that this is what technology is bringing the world to. Spamming someone's memorial? No one would ever do that in "real life", so why do that online? No matter who died, it's a terrible loss for the people who were close to her, and the people who she knew. And it's horrible that people would take the time out of their day to terrorize a group like that. I am honestly disgusted and don't know what else to say...


One of her friends posted this on her personal profile's wall:

You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she has lived.

You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.

Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
or you can be full of the love you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember her and only that she's gone
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.


<3 RIP A-M. B.

Another friend posted this on her personal wall and I feel that it means a lot:
