Was I insensitive?

When a girl at my school died of cancer, my grade had a meeting to decide on what we were going to do in memoriam, and someone said we could have one of those “shave for a cure” days and donate the money to camp quality. Now, I am NOT shaving my head, and when I said this to one of my friends, she said I was being insensetive. What do you think? Was I insensetive?

Answer #1

It’s not insensitive, because you could donate to the cause privately without needing to bring all the attention to yourself by shaving your head.

Answer #2

Nah I don’t think it was insensitive I mean it should be volunteer shouldn’t it?If you didn’t want to do it then you shouldn’t and don’t let your friends guilt you into doing it or make you feel bad about it

Answer #3

There’s no way anyone could talk me into doing it, I just wanted to know what other people thought.

Answer #4

I dont think its insensitive…Because as much as you would want to do something to raise money, this is not the way a lot of people would like to do it.

Your hair could take ages to grow back, if it even grows back and it may go completely different from what it is now.

Donate some money or find another way to do it, shaving your head isnt exactly the best way to raise money. If this girl was still with you, im sure she wouldnt be happy that you are all shaving your heads to raise money, They wouldnt want people loosing their hair to raise money when (if she lost her hair?) she wouldnt of been happy and seeing poeple shaving their hair could be pretty awful.

Answer #5

You don’t need to donate, either. It would be nice, but you don’t have to do anything.

Answer #6

Well nope I don’t think it was insensitive I don’t know about other people though but oh well

Answer #7

you weren’t being insensitive at all. as long as you donate you don’t NEED to shave your head.
