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 |

 I laughed at that. Does that make me a heartless person? I don't know. I mean, people would make a big deal of it after he died, but before his death it would obviously be overlooked and be laughed at. |

I don't really find it funny, but think about this: If you were his son, would you laugh at it? Even before his death? |
