@dreamgirlhema this is utter insensitive, suicide may not be a solution but ranting about a deceased certainly doesn't make you look GREAT!

@dreamgirlhema Have some empathy, and if not that then at least some decency. A girl has lost her life!

@dreamgirlhema The world admires someone who can keep their mouth shut and give respect to a dead person, not an irresponsible blabbermouth.

@dreamgirlhema You just lost all my respect. It is because of stoic elders like you, young minds in the country have mental health issues.

@dreamgirlhema With all due respect, we have no right to judge her too. Having said that, I don't support suicide but we shud refrain ...
