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?

Made the video about a month ago, killed herself on the 10th (but I read a report that police found her yesterday--not sure if it's accurate or if it is accurate, why she wasn't found for two days.  No idea how she even died.) and birthday is next month.  The video was made as a plea for help.  She was obviously serious but people still say she was just trying to get attention.

She got into these problems herself apparently. Showing yourself on the internet has major consequences, and shouldn't have been done in the first place. Suicide is a big no no for me, and this is no exception.



Estelle and Adol... best characters ever! XD

Lol @ 'what 4chan has to say', there is no single voice that can speak for a group of thousands of anonymous users.

The heart thing on dishonored should help.

If you don't want to be bullied on the internet, don't talk to strange people on the internet. Go play outside, talk with your real life friends. Don't let yourself be blackmailed, it is a crime.

If somehow children can be thought that way, things like this may happen not so often.

This makes me remind of those chicks that don't like men to look at them and yet dress like whores and are provocative. Go figure.


 what your say makes some sense, but it is not 100% accurate. Some people have troubles making "real friends" or having real people,someone on whom we can rely. maybe because of their personality, insecurities, low self-esteem many, many reasons. She made some bad decisions there, but the thing is everybody does! I'd say 99% of people on earth regret some past mistakes, but we all have family/friends/wifes/spouses/whatever who helps us go thru. I have felt suicidal before, never attempted suicide though, but I know what it feels. For some reason your mind is so overwhelmed that we dont see any exit, even if there are tons of then just right in front of your eyes, and thats when you need that "real person" you can trust... Sadly some people dont see anyone around them like that...

Wow.
As far as people who don't understand, they just haven't been bullied properly.
I'm really upset now.

Yay!!!

As someone who was bullied through my first 2 Years of highschool, I have a vague feeling of how she felt. Its not easy and its awful that anyone has to go through this. If the person being bullied isnt strong enough to fight back, then it can go on for a long time and as we know, it can have a serious effect.

Hopefully this starts a new, fresh clampdown on bullies.

I dont know what its like over the pond, but here in the UK bullying just seems to be getting worse as the days go by. Chav culture, gang culture and the media here are awful.



                            

Some of the comments on this thread seem pretty harsh. This was a young girl who made some mistakes and sought help.There is absolutely no excuse for the way she was hounded. I wonder how many people on here have been victims of bullying to the degree this poor girl was
