why do some people think its ok to make fun of the depressed?!

because they are ignorant p*****

Because they have nothing better to do with their own lives plus them sort of people don't understand it so what people don't understand they make fun of its very sad but true. If you find your the target of this try to ignore them I understand its hard but all the time they see its getting to you the more rthey will do it

Because you live in a free country and it looks like your young. You have nothing to be depressed about. You only live once on this planet and then your gone. Make the best of it, I wake up every day and say to myself "I'm going to have a good day no matter what". Sometimes thinks p*ss me off. I get mad I make my point that I'm mad then I get over it. There's no reason to let something eat at you constantly. Depression is a state of mind. Your wasting you one chance at life being miserable, why? Nothing is that bad, unless your child dies. Parents are older than us, they will die first. Does it hurt? Sure, you will greive but then you have to move on. Did your girl dump you? It happens, there's a million more out there. You should want love but not need anyone to be happy. Get hobbies, find things you love to do and if you feel like tour getting depressed go do them. I hunt, I fish, I play video games. You have to have hobbies, I think that's the number one thing to help depression. Have things you love to do and you will look forward to doing them again and will be much less likely to get deptessed. People are mean and pick on the weak, they look at depressed people as being weak. Don't worry about them, worry about getting better. You gotta get over the negative and look at the positives or your time on this planet will be wasted dude and you only get one chance, that's pretty dumb.

Is it really more acceptable to make fun of anyone? I think it is just unnecessary to make fun of anyone for any reason. It's different if you know the person and are just having good humored fun, but don't make them feel bad.

Maybe because they are depressed themselves, some people like to hurt other to make themselves feel better, also people don't like what they don't understand

My own wisdom

That's because they're sad should which were once tormented by someone hence the reason they make fun out of people just to make themselves feel better. It could also be because they're insecure about something!

because they see someone else having more problems then their having and they feel the need to take advantage of it. people who hurt, hurt people.

Because they don't understand and because of the stigma attached to mental illnesses.

People are frightened of what they do not understand. Simple as.

They don't.
