Hi Jesse.

It seems that you didn't close the tags with textarea and form. 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <form action="index.html" method="post">
            <input type="text" id="name" name="user_name">
            <textarea id="comment" name="user_comment"></textarea>      
            <button>Submit Comment</button>
    </form>


  </body>
</html>

Regards!

If you want your button to submit the form, button type should be "submit" like the below code.

<button type="submit">Submit Comment</button>
