Yeah, don't think so.

Just because she had cancer at a young age and aspirations doesn't warrant media coverage and a twitter trend in my opinion.

Why are you being a dick

Good god a little girl passed away because of cancer

My gosh some people are so heartless

Well I'm torn.
On the one hand it's a tragedy, and sometimes it's better to just keep your opinion to yourself even if you're right, which I think Wordsmith is.
On the other hand, I think the media has used this girl like a puppet to get money, and that it's pointless dedicating something - even something as paltry as a twitter trend - to one specific victim. It should be dedicated to all cancer victims.

At the end of the day, whether we cry about one victim or a million, nothing is going to change and this will be forgotten by the end of the week.

It's not about changing the inevitable, it is about showing respect and giving support to the people other than Lauren who had to endure this.

But nowhere in the post does it say "respect to all suffering from what she suffered".
It's only her who is currently getting the attention/respect. Don't get me wrong, it is sad when somebody passes away. But I believe what Wordsmith is right. Why does having normal aspirations warrant a Twitter trend, and world-wide news coverage. Not really fair when a lot of other people just like her are currently going through the same thing.

I think that all people who are going through the same terrible illness deserve the same respect, which they all do. Just because one person is shown on the news it does not mean that she is above all other patients, it just raises the bar of respect for everyone suffering.

In my opinion, it is kinda treating her like she is better than everyone else.
Just because she had fame, she gets mentioned like she was everybodys relative. Having a news article I can understand. But not the barrage of 'Will be in my heart forever' etc.

Cancer is just horrible, no one deserves it.

RIP Lauren, prayers go out to your family and friends

This is really sad to hear about.

Rest In Peace

Very sad that a life got lost hope the best for her family
