Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Ours had some theater kid pretend to be dead for a week and did a fake memorial on the football field. They played it like he was actually killed while driving drunk.

I also remember not really caring cuz I didn't know him, and wondered why the whole school had to pretend to care. I kinda wonder if it was puberty that made me not care or if I just ain't got that empathy in me.

That's very extreme lol.

There were a few deaths throughout my time in public school. I didn't think too much about the people I didn't know. Only 1 person that I was friends with, so I did attend his memorial at which i cried. I think its normal to not spend too much time thinking about the deaths of people you don't know.

People die every day. I still feel bad for them and their families' pain, but if you truly mourned each one, it's all you'd be able to do.
