Okay, so for the past few days people have been talking about Amanda Todd. In case you don't know who she is: Amanda Todd was a young girl who committed suicide because she was consistently bullied (both on the Internet and in person) and suffered from anxiety and depression.
Yes, she committed suicide. It's sad. Yeah, I know that some people think she's weak and a coward for doing it. However, she still died.
I'm 100% positive that the people that talk all this crap about her killing herself don't even know her. You couldn't even begin to imagine what she went through unless you went through it yourself. I'm pretty sure you haven't. Maybe not YOU the reader personally.
So, her story is all about how when she was 13 years of age, she flashed her breasts to these guys on webcam with her friend. Little did she know that one of those guys would become a complete stalker. Now, I think she was wrong to flash them in the first place, but she didn't deserve all of this BS coming to her. She made a mistake when she was 13. I'm pretty sure there are girls (and guys) out there that STILL flash their private body parts to random strangers on the internet. I see it on Social Networking Sites all the time.
The guy that became a stalker found out her address, family members, friends, school address, etc. He made a Facebook page just about her breasts. She lost her friends. She became the 'slut' of her school. All because of that one mistake when she was 13. This started the bullying.
She transferred schools. All was fine, until the pictures got around to her new school. Her 'best friend' on whom she had a crush. He seduced her, and they hooked up. You can't completely blame her because he lured her in. She was young and foolish. She was head over heels for this guy who was supposed to be her best friend. But it does take two. His girlfriend found out, came to her school (with her friends and her boyfriend) and physically bullied her. She went home that night and drank bleach hoping to die, but her dad called an ambulance and they pumped her stomach clean. She attempted suicide on a few other occasions. She was still constantly bullied after this. On Facebook, people posted pictures of bleach and ditches. They told her to drink some more and die in a ditch. She had no one to turn to anymore. All of her friends abandoned her. She exhausted any other option she had. She had anxiety and depression so bad that she couldn't leave her house.
She took her own life.
She had posted a video of her story on YouTube. I'm sure if you haven't seen it already, you can easily find it.
Did she really deserve all of that bullying? No, she deserved to pay for her mistakes, but those kids took it way too far! Even after she is dead, people aren't leaving her alone.
JUST DROP IT!
Seriously, she's dead. Just move on with your life. You probably didn't even know her. Is the fact that she committed suicide and all of those details really going to affect your life so much that you have to make fun of her still? No? Oh, then shut up and move on with your life. You're not helping anyone by talking about it. The topic will die off in a week or so.
