Seriously you read about people who die young, and people always pretend to care after they are already dead like “omg, this is so sad, they could’ve acomplished so much, he had a bright future ahead of him! wHaT a tRaGeDy, iF oNlY wE cOuLd’vE FoRSeEn tHiS”…

why didn’t y’all do anything while they were still alive? hypocrites…

    Look. This is politeness. This is slightly different, but kinda related… I’m a teacher. If a kid got bad grades, obviously he did, the parents will see that. In my written comment, should I say he was a slacker? No. Why bother. Better to express hope for what he can do well in the future.

    The same information is conveyed, but the respect shown to the person is different.

    • As a former public schools facilitator & FB coach, & posted a very unpopular thread that asked a feed asking them to use Challenges, instead Disabilities, I understand where you are coming from, but I agree with both points. I am student(s) died, than you are right, but I think the thread starting member is talking media that truly will never know young person (people) who has died. & only doing it for profits, thus will never care to.
