A girl in my school died last night

[Typhoid]

I dont want to be captain bringdown here. Yes it is very unsettleing, but it doesnt concern me, so im not upset.

Today on MSN i was talking to this girl, and she asked me if i was sad, i said "no" and she yelled at me for not showing compassion. But then shouldnt i be sad every day? People die all the time, i dont know the people, just as i dont know her, so it doesnt change my life in any way, shape or form. Im not going to consult people about it, because i dont know her, and i have never even heard her name before today. At least one of my friends backs me up on this.

(And im not really cold and heartless)

People are liked more in death than in life, generally. This girl had nobody talking about her the weeks prior to her death, nobody was saying " Oh she'll die soon" yes it is a grim thing to think of, but its reality, but now that shes gone, everyone is saying things nice about her.

And like i said, i didn't know her, so that may seem why im acting like an ass, so to me, its as if a random person that some of the people i know died.



And saying " Its too short for a lifetime" makes it sound like ( to me) that she was murdered or something, hit by a car, poisoned. When she had a tumor, a natural defect. Maybe ( for those of you who believe in him) God had a better plan for her? Or maybe she sold her soul in a twisted poker game.

But im not trying to be a complete ass, so i'll stop my rant now.











R.I.P.

Sorry to hear that Dylflon.

I'm glad it's refreshed your sense of appreciation for how precious life truly is though. Don't let it scare you, just try to enjoy it more.

Typhoid, the means of her death doesn't change the fact that she lived a very short life.

I heard about it too. I didn't know her either. It's just like 9/11, you have to try to show some emotion to help console people.. =\

Im not saying i didnt, show compassion, but its hard to, because you dont really know what the person is going through. Then i get yelled at for not knowing her and not crying. Stupid emotinal cycle of girls.

Look, im not saying im not a little distraught(sp?) about it, but im not going to go any lenght to condone or console her family, because i dont know them well enough. It IMO would kind of be like jumping on a bandwagon, you dont know the person, but you want to fit in, so you act really sad.Still is a shame that she died, but at least she died next to her friends and family.

That really sucks.


I know what you're going through though, when I was in 8th grade, a 2nd grader at my school died of cancer.


Really, really sucks when they're that young.
