That is absolutely horrible!!! No, you have every right to feel angry and upset. There are cruel people in this world, and hopefully someday they will see the err of their ways.

It is not wrong for you to be angry about these comments.

It is nice that your friends made a tribute to your friend, but it is unfortunate that they posted it on YouBoob which is notorious for attracting many people who think it is okay to be disrespectful.

My suggestion is to not allow these negative people to take your emotional energy away from you. In order to do this, you may just have to not go to the site, or just don't read the comments. There is no way for the YouBoob people to keep others from making negative comments...so you have to decide whether you are going to read them and allow yourself to get worked up, or whether you are going to not read them and just remember your friend as she was in life.

But...It is a choice that you make.

I seen that kind of stuff too before and it did make me mad so I can understand why it upset you. I'm sorry you got hit with that kind of utube. When that happened to me I told a friend and reported it to utube. I got back the same response from both saying though its not nice to think about some religions do believe suicide is the ultimate sin that can hold a persons spirit in hell forever. I was told though it is upsetting to me utube could not do anything about those comments because they must honor all religions beliefs even those that believe suicide leads to the person going to hell. Now I don't read the comments that way I don't have to see that kind of thing and get upset by them. I just watch the videos and make comments of my own without reading what others have said.
Thanks for this!

This is the problem as well as the blessing of the internet. Annonymity. These people who posted those comments have no moral ties to what they say because they don't have to account for it whatsoever. The internet is filled with great people, but also with a lot of lowlifes who make themselves feel better by berating and insulting others. My main advice would be to not even respond to them, don't give them the pleasure. Just ignore them, if you respond they will say something even more hateful and callous to try to hurt you. You have every right to be upset, but as the saying goes "Don't feed the trolls". They will just keep coming back if you give them the reaction they're looking for.

I'm so very sorry to hear about your friend commiting suicide. I had a friend do the same back during high school and I know how confused, hurt, and sad it can make you. I hope time helps you heal from your tragic loss.
Thanks for this!

I hope you can read also from the site (see about "mindfulness" and calm down) I know it's hard to do it (I had the same problem when 17). I hope there are less mean people around you than nice ones! And maybe that's why we can appreciate the nice ones and ignore the others.

If I understood well you are mad because they were "mean".
Was that your question?
Thanks for this!

You can't control what others think. It is only thoughts.
Their words show they don't understand and don't want to understand. This is the only way they know how to say is. "I don't understand." and "This scares me!" comes out as a judgement and a flat denial that it could happen to them.

You have your own thoughts. You have your own memories of your friend. Those are separate and no one else's thoughts can take away your thoughts. It is okay that they think differently than you do. It is just how people are.
Thanks for this!

It's also sometimes helpful to realize that many of the people who post things like that are not doing so out of any desire to practice their religion. They are doing so in order to hurt. There is no other reason for posting that on a memorial than that. Keep in mind that these people do not understand empathy, grief, or I would argue, the religion they claim they practice. I am deeply sorry that you were wounded in this fashion. I hope that you can find some comfort after your loss, hon. Huggs.
Thanks for this!

I agree with all the posters and in particular with Long Ways. There are cruel people who take advantage of the anonymity of the internet to spread misery. There are also some religions who claim that if one commits suicide they'll go to hell. I really don't believe this and think this myth was created as a deterrent rather that being truth. I don't think God would persecute a person who was sick and couldn't make rational decisions. I understand completely how this has made you furious but at the same time you don't want to give them the power of determining your mental state. People like this aren't worth the energy.

My daughter has recently been cyber bullied by 2 people in her class. These are 11 yr olds who talk like a couple of porn stars. People say more over the internet because they can hide behind their computer screen. I feel very frustrated sometimes, at the cruelty of society - I think it's getting worse. I'm very sorry you lost your friend this way and that you had to read cruel comments
