Amanda Todd: Teenager Who Had Chronicled Her Bullying On YouTube Commits Suicide.

['Toxic]

RIP Amanda Todd..I wish I knew her IRL.

I accept everyone for who they are, I don't like to see the bad in people.

It's horrible how a human-being can have such a terrible life that he/she definitely doesn't deserve.

But what I really cannot believe is that nobody accepted her as a mere friend including the fact that nobody, NOBODY helped her enough.

I know, same here but people are blind you know.
I have suffered from depression since I was 13, I became cold and never showed my emotions because I truly never had anyone even growing up since I never lived with my mother until I was 9. I dealt with my pain alone, never truly told a soul and when I tried telling my mother- it always turned into "You're a teen and fin everything to be so hard at this age, you'll grow out of it" I'm not close with my mom, so it's not like I could just easily opened up. Tch, tried suicide 3 times and the only reason I stay alive is b/c I keep thinking that it wouldn't be fair for my mother to lose another son, she already lost my older brother and I will only hurt her.
Though
Last year, I had a 'mental' break down during class, I wanted to run out of there b/c I felt like sh*t. (at times when you just shallow your pain and do as many say "don't complain" it only becomes worse, the pain piles up. That day I called my mother, ran out of school and I told her that I needed to talk to a psychologist, that I wanted help but she told me "I don't want them to give u medicine" and even now she doesn't think I need it. I'm a bit stronger than most people who deal with depression,anxiety or so I think so because I've managed to keep it locked down for a long time and learned to deal with it, I also found a purpose through it. It forced me to grow up sooner, be very open minded, understanding and accepting.
I'm 18 now and even if I don't cry myself to sleep anymore from my own life issues, I know I'll carry all this within me- I know my mother cant accept that her son needs the help (which is a mistake most parents make) but any-who, don't be surprised if people never know or never help, it happens.

Also for all of you who commented "why did she kill herself" or said something stupid- you guys shouldn't say anything unless you have dealt with depression/anxiety etc.. because no one's the same. Others deal with things differently and it's not fun to feel depression every day that you wake up. I'm thankful that somehow I've survived my hell but not everyone can alone.

Next time you see someone crying or blue, or just distant, don't be afraid to talk to them. You never know what they could be going through.​

Not everyone's blind to such things.

Some guy I've never met helped me out of a depression I was going through.
I had never met him in my life, and I still haven't seen him again to this day. But he made a huge impact on my outlook on things.

I wish everyone had someone like that.

I agree that everyone should have someone like that but some choose to be blind, they don't care about such things. If only people cared more, stuff like this wouldn't happen.

She did die..
Didn't you notice everyone posting 'R.I.P.'?

No, he was talking about how she could have died, compared to how she died.

She made a great contribution before she died.

Ah, now that you mention it.
Sorry, my mistake.

I'll do my best if the situation presents itself, I do have a hard time standing others' coldness towards each other after all.
This however was just a slight misunderstanding on my part, no big deal.

yeo and its hard to understand other and know from and outside perspective when ppl need help.....but the next time you see someone crying or hurt or even just an elderly lady who is happy strugling yo carry a bag

jus say these words.....hey could you use some help because these 6 words can save a life just being acknowledged by those around you can have big effects

There is no glory in this death. Just a tragic and pitiable death which could have been avoided if the parents and the other adults around the girl ) were more alert and attentive. It raises more concern than other such deaths because of the reasons and the duration it went on and seeing the large number of people involved in it- some of them thinking they were being righteous while they were just being jerks.

Should we ignore the internet predators and depression and social break down and not inform people of consequences and risks of such behaviour or neglect on part of all the parties involved? It is just an example, to let people know and think, not a disrespect to other such deaths.

Society should provide help for those who seek help. For all the flaws of those around her, the girl forgot to do one simple thing; seek help. Of course the parents have a responsibility, but you can't demand that society as a whole check every single man and woman for depression. We have a responsibility, but so does she. The girl, in my opinion, had all her options open, but she didn't make use of them.
You can preach about fear and depression and blackmail all you want, but if one doesn't seek help, one won't get help.

she didnt seek help.....what do you think drinking bleach and cutting yourself is....that is enough for everyone around her to know she needs it an offer it especially her parents and teachers and more so the police

and in case you dont know which you may say you do but i know you dont is this:

when your down and out like that asking for help is the hardet thing to do because you dont feel anyone cares or that you even deserve it

 

[Hawker]

She flashed her tits. Gets blackmailed. Offs herself. People blame cyberbullying. I mean sure, getting blackmailed is part of it but why would you flash your tits in the first place like a camwhore? And I don't really see the big deal about this, sure cyberbullying is bad but it's just another dead girl. You all probably don't really care either since you don't really know her. You're the ones that will forget about this within a month or so or at least stop "caring" about it. Her family and friends are the people that won't.

So all of you can take your artificial "care" and shove it up your butthole. There's genocides going on in this world and other things that deserve way more attention than this but most of you are being glorious winged whiteknight ******s about this one girl. Jesus ****ing christ, what is wrong with you people.

And next time I'm in Canada, I'll make sure to stop by Ryuu so you can whoop my ass.

I have to agree to some extent to what Mercy said. He just speaks the truth. But it's harsh calling a dead girl a camwhore, as everything that happened to her after that was something she really, I mean really didn't deserve. She even tried to avoid it the best she could. Girls at that age tend to trust people and make stupid little mistakes like that. Atleast she felt ashamed of it, but still she was being horribly bullied.

It's true people tend to forget people like this after the headlines have faded off, but they still care. Yeah genocides happen and so on, but people cannot feel connected to those situations as the media won't talk about them. So unless we seek information about those miserable events we probably won't feel sorry for them that much, as those things happen all the time and we can't do nothing about them, that's the cold truth.
But as I look past the comments of that youtube video and this thread I feel that it's great people show some emphaty, even if it's for one little girl we don't know and not the genocides happening in the world. I guess some people can relate to her feelings.
Emphaty, that makes us humans. But we can't deal with all the sh*t happening in this world.

So Mercy probably means, don't be hypocrites and sheeps. And I agree with that, but as I am not that cynical I will add to that, that you are not a sheeps when you care for the right reasons. Emphaty is not bad. That's all.

She had *** with a guy in a relationship O_O
A year old picture of her boobs was seen by her friends. In response to that, the girl gets a major depression, anxiety, etcetera, and she gets into both drugs and alcohol. Overreacting much?
She 'sits alone' during lunch. What did she expect? If you sit by yourself in the library, people don't come running. You seek people, you don't just expect people to seek your company.
She gets beaten up and drinks bleach.
Her two year old picture is seen by her friends; in response she cuts herself.

Bajebus, she dealt with her situation with all kinds of wrong.

you agree with mercy....well guess what even if its just for a day or 2 a story like that brings out the care for those who normally dont enough to look around in their own lives and maybe catch something the didnt previously see and maybe in this one moment a life will be saved

seeing a banner a made used by someone who agrees with a delusional coward like mercy makes me wish i could take it back..you ased me to make it and i helped you

she asked for help and the world let her die

ya go mercy bro...go mercy indeed

Do you have any idea what "Put on a show" means?
Those were the pictures that her friends saw. And it wasn't just her friends, it was everyone she knew.
How would you react to someone who has pictures of herself naked all over Facebook?

Also, I'm using the word "friends" loosely, because she didn't have any.

You act like getting beaten up by a mob is an easy thing to go through.

She can't seek anyone because no one would accept her.

The World didn't let her die.
Destiny didn't cut her wrists, Fate didn't force her to drink bleach and Justice didn't kill her.
The girl gave up, even in the face of counseling and medicine.

when a girl like that is in the state she is in and her parent and friends and hospitals leave her alone to her own divices that is the same as letting her die

you dont leave a girl or anyone like that alone you put her in the suicide ward int he hospital until she comes to grips with reality ive spent more then one day in the suicide ward

your words tell me you speak without the experience to back up your words you talk from the point of someone who doesnt know the pain of real depression and anxiety not just im sad for a day real lasting anxiety and depression is no joke
