Death jokes have really never bothered me before. I mean, people say them all the time. Someone goes "Hey, where's Bob?" and somebody else goes "Oh, he died" and you laugh it off because you know he didn't really die. Just little light stuff like that seems to come out so casually, that when something serious happens... you either belittle it or treat it like a joke.
Apparently, one of my teachers died over the summer while he was on his honeymoon. In class, I noticed I haven't seen him around, so I was like "Hey, where is he?" And my friend was like "Oh, he died." And I didn't say anything because I thought he was kidding. It turned out that he wasn't, but the way he said it was like the death jokes people make every single day. I guess I'm being overly emotional right now because my teacher's death was shocking and incredibly sad. But, sometimes,... I think people should really learn to think before they speak and stop making serious issues into something to laugh about. Because it's not funny. At all. Okay... had to get that out |

Death is certainly not something to be taken lightly, I mean I obsess over it all the time.. It's like a paranoia. When is my time? Argh. I lost my father just over a year ago, and I never once thought he would leave us all so young.. My younger brother is just in elementary school still. I've been to so many funerals in the past year, and constantly thinking about death makes it hard to be happy sometimes. I can't stand to hear people joke around about stuff like that, though, because it tears me apart to see so many people just.. gone.
