That is tragic, age difference is not a big deal in our country, you would probably get a few laughs and teases but that's just about it and it's quite normal.

The girl joked about it herself but then she started get hate mail, etc. It seems so unfair.

What a sad story. There are far too many cyber bullies around, I wish there were a way to punish them the same way we'd punish someone in the physical world.

You are correct @JudyEv but I have a feeling that things in cyber world are beginning to change so that these cyber bullies can be caught and punished once and for all.

We got put down by some for our age difference and it was not that much. So sad that she got depressed.

@JudyEv Stuff like that dont bother me. I had no problem telling them where to shove it. Too bad the 2 of them didnt do that. To get that sad it sounds like she truly cared.

It is a big age gap but it's their business, not anyone else's. I'm sorry you got put down too. It must have been very hurtful.

Oops! I know what it is, and had a racket press for my first wooden tennis racket. Unfortunately, people never mind their own business. What a shame.

Yes, you're right! Well done - but you must be quite old to have a wooden racket!

That is a huge age gap but they are both adults people should have left them alone. The magistrate must be so heartbroken.

It shouldn't be anyone else's business. It's just awful that she was driven to this. It seems likely she stepped out in front of a car rather than it just be an accident.

If it doesn't concern them directly, people should learn to keep their mouths shut.

This is what I hate about social media. People are more or less anonymous and can say what they like with impunity. Some are just so vicious with their remarks.

i would be uncomfortable about it, to be honest, but i'm also thinking about the hurt and grief the magistrate and their respective families and friends are feeling now. maybe if he wasn't a magistrate, it wouldn't be national news but it was compounded by the availability of internet and social media now.

@JudyEv I do not know what that is in the picture. Now, I see a picture on the side and it is something to hold a tennis racket. Am I right? As far as the magistrate and his girlfriend are concerned it is none of the media's business. It seems like the media has to create news if they do not have anything to write about. That is horrible what happened to his girlfriend. I am with you. I wish they would mind their own business.

The object is a press to hold a wooden racquet and stop it from warping. And yes, people should mind their own business.
