Question

i was just wondering if people that did thought it was funny truth is, its really offensive
are they kids that are trying to be funny or are they really immature dumbass adults?
im 13, and bad things have happened to me,well not to me, but ive experienced a lot of deaths and stuff like that from kids my age, and people write about this stuff like its a jok
this is wasting 5 of my points, but i really want to know
the person who gives me the best answer gets 10 pts. ( you dont have to give me some really scientifical answer)

by the way, 6 of my best friends have died, and i hate how people write about deaths like its a joke
So PLEEZ PLEEZ dont do that
as for the other questions.....

Answer 1

Because they want to see just how many people will answer their question. They could not care less about how other people feel and the consequences they suffer; they just care about how "funny" or how "clever" they can come with something.
That is just sad. Some people need to grow up.
It is funny how a 13 year old can figure this out and not a 23 or 33 year old.

Answer 2

Kids write about it as a joke sometimes just to see what will happen. Kids are kids.. and seeing as how I used to be one, I know that their logic isn't always the greatest.
Adults.. it's a whole other story. Some people are mean.. it's a fact of life. They write to see what will happen, or what kind of sympathy they can get. Who knows.. it's one of life's mysteries.
OR, they could be using humor as an emotional blocker.. If you're laughing then you're not crying sort of thing. People do crazy things, mean things, dumb things, and sometimes the right thing. When it comes to death, there isn't really a right or wrong way for someone to feel. However they express their emotion.. they are expressing it in the way that makes them feel the best.

Answer 3

Sorry for your recent losses... When I was younger I too had many such events in my life.

As for your question: Yes I do think that many people try to make light of those issues simply because they themselves have an extremely difficult time trying to cope with it/understand it. And yes also... Many people are just trying to be funny in some way and probably not doing a very good job of it and/or they really are dumb *** adults. There's numerous answers to your question and most of them would be right or correct.

I also heard years ago that: "There's no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid people who ask questions"! So many things in this life depend solely upon perception and/or beliefs.

Try not to get so upset about the little things in life, one only has control over themselves.

Answer 4

That's a very good question. I have often wondered the same thing. I guess people have nothing better to do with their lives than to try to offend and ridicule other people. They think it's funny but really it's just sad. I asked a question about 2 months ago on here and got some totally inappropriate answers. I don't know but I would hate to think I had nothing better to do than to try to hurt other people's feelings.

Answer 5

Just remember you are dealing with the general public. Just because these people can get onto the internet doesn't mean they have a lick of sense. Look at the people around you. It makes you crazy when you see them do things or say things that are so unbelievably stupid, that you don't know how they survived this long. Hey, take your mind off this for alittle while and get the books on the Darwin Awards. These people ARE stupid. And the
stories are true. Enjoy.

Answer 6

some people are just plain ignorant because many of them has lived a sheltered life. there are some people who get their kicks off from asking stupid questions, but there are some people who don't know, or refuse to learn, and some people need to grow up and start acting their age.

you have experienced more things than other kids your age and in that respect, you know more things than those other kids. and in some ways, you are very smart im sure, but things you havent experienced you dont know much about

remember this, you are never too young or too old to learn new things

Answer 7

It's kind of sad, really because they are just lonely, immature, self-centered people that having nothing better to do than to ask questions just to see what the answers will be. Not all of them are children - some are adults, but just don't act like it. If more people had the same mindset as we do, then this site would actually be beneficial.

Answer 8

There were times when you failed to notice that you're offending somebody by cracking a joke. But there were times when they really intended to hurt someone else's feeling. And I hate this kind of situation, too. This is not nice because sometimes, this kind of situation would become a traumatic experience for the offended ones.
Sometimes, they just cracked jokes like this, out of the blue because they don't know what they're doing.... whether it's bad or not. And they just wanted to be notice... In other words, attention seeker.

Answer 9

What surprises me is why people reply to questions they think are stupid. Who is forcing them to reply? Why not just move on and find a question you want to answer? The answer to your question is these people want attention-they crave it. No-one gives them the time of day in their real life and they are lonely and bored so they come online to aggravate, annoy or humor others so they can get some replies/attention. To them even negative attention is good as the alternative is emptiness. Instead of people getting so upset they need to just ignore these people.

Answer 10

You are a very smart young person.I am sorry for your losses but some people just get pleasur eout of being so cruel and not considering others feelings Try to smile a little have a nice day
