So this 19 year old girl from my hometown died recently. I didn't know her personally, but I had heard her name a few times and a lot of people I know knew her. As soon as word spread about her death, Facebook began to blow up with statuses about her.
Of course her close friends and family are entitled to do or say whatever they feel they need to, but then you have the fucking attention whores. They post all these statuses pretending she was their best friend, they were so close, ect, when they barely knew her or didn't like her. These people do this so they can get a bunch of "likes" and comments from other attention whores who want to be part of the "action" of the tragedy and get sympathy when in reality they weren't close at all.
A couple years ago, one of my best friend's ex girlfriend (they were together for three years) killed herself. The same thing happened then, where people who barely knew her posted all this stuff on Facebook and blew up my buddy's phone with texts and calls, once again wanting to be part of the "action".
Same thing with the 10th anniversary of 9/11. I remember seeing all these statuses like "That day changed my life forever" when in reality it didn't change a god damn thing for them.
I know, I know, I should get off Facebook, but really the only thing I use it for is shit talking, which is pretty fun. Is it just me who gets pissed off at these people who use others' deaths to try to get attention and sympathy?
