As harsh as this may seem, it is all true.

I dunno about all of it being true, and it's definitely not her fault if she came from a broken home, but she did clearly make a lot of bad decisions and it doesn't seem that she took responsbility for it. I think it says a lot that she referred to having sex with that guy by saying, "He hooked up with me." Not, "We hooked up," or, "I had sex with him." It's like she had no agency in the matter. At least that's my impression. Maybe I'm blowing it out of proportion, but it kind of limits how much sympathy I can have for her, particularly when there is physically upsetting shit like this going on in the world.

Honestly if she's gonna disrespect her life cause of some stupid bullies then she's stupid too. Hope she likes hell. That's what you get for disrespecting what was given to you.

Well, she was less than half your age when she died.  Maybe she didn't have the best judgement.  She wasn't even old enough for a driver's license. 



That's why I don't have a facebook or twitter account. Social networks are hell if you land on the wrong side of the fence. I hope the people that behaved like cave monkeys towards her have her death on their conciousness for the rest of their lifes.

 

Edit: "Upon returning home, she discovered that the incident was reported on Facebook, with such remarks as "she deserved it", "did you wash the mud out of your hair?", and "I hope shes dead."

Todd then moved again to live in another city with her mother. Six months after the incident, people were still posting images of bleach, Clorox, and ditches, and tagging her with such comments as "She should try a different bleach", "I hope she dies this time and isn't so stupid.", and "They said I hope she sees this and kills herself"."

 

The people that wrote this should be tracked down and held responsible. That's just sick.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

This is sad, though I agree with 4chan that instead of complaining about what could've been done to save her, people should be helping people who could go the same way as her. Oh yeah, and I saw some of the memes of her that her bullies made...disgusting.

This is what i think about Amanda Todd :

Wow she commited suicide just because of this ? People have gone worser situation than her and able to raise themselves to be like a brave stand up hero.I mean she can just move out the country if she don't like her life at there or she could visit some kind of a phychologist to solved her depression problem.For those people who say they could defend her if she is still alive then a big F word to you.

Did you know her ? What if she some kind of a girl who treat other people life miserable then she got what she deserved.I mean there could be a reason for this.Usually people treat other people life miserable will result in having a bad karma and got what coming up for them. 4chan make some sensible post that got me thinking about this girl. This girl somehow become quite famous because she had a miserable life and wanted to ended it all ? There is no backstory or whatever if she do some kind deed to other people.

How about to those people who suicide due to bully problem ? Were they not recognize ? Don't tell me that people are not perfect or what not bullshit that i have heard a couple years ago. People make mistake in the past and able to fix in the future but why this girl can't ? Is it because she can't do it alone and need someone to backed up for her like some kind of a lawyer ? I know that she is 15 years old and able to do some crazy stuff but damn,think twice or at least find a way that you could trust this particular guy before even flashing your boobs ~~

Vanessa Hudgens make a mistake by sending a nude photo of herself to his boyfriend which hacker leaked the photo to the internet but you don't see her life being miserable and willing to suicide just because of that.

People stand up for their mistake even though they have nobody to backed them up, that is what brave and honorable people do. Not coward around in the house and post a youtube video of herself telling the people who watch her video that she has a miserable life and wanted to suicide. She still have those second chance but what did she do ? She just like fuck this,it not worth living like this anymore and just end her life without thinking twice that she could able to changed her life to a better one if she could just think of a smart way to handle these bully problem.Maybe she could make a joke of herself or do something that many people doesn't like so many could forget this could ever happened.

It is true that nowaday there are many bully and pervert but this isn't a huge problem for most people.Many people experienced horrible things from their past and able to changed themselves to someone new in the future.A great idea of dealing bully is either by being annoying to them,acting dumb or insult something which hurt them most.

That is all i can say for now so obviously i have 0% sympathy for that girl.The only person i willing to have sympathy is the people who willing to stand up for themselves for what those other people do to him/her.

Except for the possible assault, no one should be charged with this. It was wrong of them but it shouldn't be illegal.


blackmail and distribution of child pornography are actually crimes. 

I meant, charged with anything to do with the suicide or causing it. Those are unrelated to that.

And the images were distributed by her, so I'm not seeing how it could be illegal unless taking images of one's own body is also illegal. In which case that's incredibly stupid law that needs fixed.

directly causing emotional distress, isolating and blackmailing an underage girl, and persisting on as she attempts to switch schools or attemps suicide, is purely illegal (and sociopathic)

 

how can you consider that unrelated to her suicide ??



She's a very unlucky girl. Such an unlucky turn of events eventually led her to being fed up with life...

Webcam with friends --> shows her boobs --> gets blackmailed..
Depression --> no more friends --> changes home --> gets blackmailed again later on
Even more depression --> her schoolmates hate her --> depressed again
Finds a guy --> Guy played her, and she thought she had a chance with him(now, I think she's at fault for doing shit with that guy even though she knew he had a girlfriend) --> girlfriend comes back and beats her
Video goes viral --> kids hate her even more --> family issues --> no one to turn to for support (forget the internet, she had a bad reputation there ; forget family, her family had issues ; forget friends, she had no real friend)

She obviously needed help but everywhere she looked she got rejected. Talk about Bad Luck Amanda...



seems all a bit pointless but the teenage years for some can go way out of control when it really is all unimportant in the big scheme of things,i wonder what the parents were doing and why she kept on social websites

when i was doing a'levels a kid in the class commited suicide,seemed like an alright guy,one day they're there the next they are not,hung himself

The thing is, all over the internet and even on this site, we see people that seem to be hurting. You never know how serious their situation is to them. If you see something and it raises a red flag, don't hesitate to be that shoulder to cry on.

I agree. We need to support each other more, and also try to be more forgiving and patient when someone might behave badly out of frustration.

It's shocking this particular case, that the girl killed herself only two days ago, correct?
