That’s unfortunate. Condolences to the family. Depression is real. I’m sure she was surrounded by many haters smiling in her face like they were proud of her. Some people just can’t handle miserable jealousy around them.
Suicide isn’t the answer. Just keep shining in the hater’s faces!
Rest in peace, Aziza!
So sad. Depression is a silent killer.
RIP and condolences to Aziza's friends and famiy.

THERE'S YOUR CAPITAL LETTERS!
^Thank you for setting ppl str8ght.
A person is unalive and a selfish 7:53 pm wanna comment abt capital letters? Really? Get a clue!
Ppl are extremely disrespectful. This is the time where you suppose to use manners your parent(s) taught you.
They were too young to leave this earth even if it was by choice. Prayers for their loved ones they left behind.
@1:33 suicide isn’t about jealous haters. It’s about the relationship with self and how they are feeling. Emotional pain is real. You totally minimize depression. It’s all encompassing.
