Then everyone started copying her and being, or trying to be depressed. It’s really annoying and I’m getting really annoyed because on social media and stuff they are changing their names to depressing things like ‘fading away’ and ‘forever lost’... it’s getting annoying and I don’t know what to do... I know there is nothing wrong with them.
