Something that bugs me.
Something that really bugs me is when people joke about things that are very serious and shouldn't be joked about. For example, when people make jokes about rape, suicide, depression, self harm, etc. These are very serious problems and joking about them is a cruel thing to do. A lot of people in the world, and maybe it's someone you know too, have suffered from some of these things. So, when someone is sitting there making a joke about it, that could really hurt the people who have gone through these things. I think people need to look at what they're saying and think about how it can affect someone else.
A lot of times, if someone is hurt by something someone said, they won't tell someone. That's the problem here. No one is telling people the dangers of their words, and this makes them think that it's okay to do. Joking about a serious issue is NOT okay. If you're hurt or in a time of need, you need to stand up for yourself. Don't let people mock you or tear you down. You have to rise above them and tell them that words hurt; they really do.
