IlliniKrush Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 01:41 PM) It really compounds this situation. Earlier today I bought a 7 game plan for me and my kids as a Christmas gift, I felt really good about things and then this really just sucks the life right out of you. My God, this time of the year is incredibly special for young children and families, parents and schools feel a renowned sense of innocence at this time of the year. As I got older Christmas spirit passes but with three young kids, my Christmas spirit is as great as it even was. Stuff like this though makes you think about what kind of world you are bringing these kids into. God help them all. Good post. Someone just talked about how most of these families' homes probably have holiday stuff up, and presents under the tree for children that will never come home.

People can make assumptions in the heat of the moment. For instance, my name isn't super common, but I know there are at least three people with the same first and last name in my hometown of 30,000.

Another person could have access to his account. But this is exactly why I am a ghost online. Even though there are only maybe 3 people in the entire world with my name, 0 if you include middle name.

Social media has made people more helpless somehow IMO, when there should be ways to find others like you for a support system. Don't want to go on too much of a tangent, but social media is just a diary that others read. If you claim you're depressed, people just say "aww, sorry. here's some fake encouragement." No one actually acts on statements like that, they don't report it at all, or seek help for that individual. I'm not saying people are obligated to do that, just saying social media isn't used how it could be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing I've seen on Facebook is a parent replying to the hundreds of well-wishes and stories about their son passing away the other day. No way could they have heard all those stories anyway else, so that was awesome to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
