R.I.P Amanda Todd

[Roxie 71]

This girl, her name is Amanda Todd.

She posted a video on YouTube a few days ago.

She was bullied so bad it led to suicide...

 

She was in a webcam chat group to meet up with new and old people.

 

 

They started calling her Beautiful, Stunning, cute, Etc.

And then they asked her to flash...

So she did.....

Thinking it was nothing...

A year went by and some guy she did not know, messaged her saying

”Give me a 'show' or I will send your boobs.”

She ignored it.....

Christmas Break came and a knock came on her door at 4 AM.

It was the police...

That person sent the picture to EVERYONE.

Everyone judged her.

Bullied her.

From ONE MISTAKE.

She ended up switching schools.

That person found out her school, friends, address once again and sent them there too.

She had no one.

Everyone hated her.

She ended up switching towns.

Then at this new school....She met this boy who she thought liked her.

He didn't....he had a girlfriend.

One day she got a note saying you better leave school.

She didn't.

A group of boys and girls including that boy, the girlfriend and more came up to her while the school surrounded her.

The girl said “Look around, No one likes you.”

One kid from the group said “JUST PUNCH HER ALREADY!” So she did, and Amanda got beat really bad.

And got left.

Alone.

And her dad ended up finding her in a ditch hours later.

She went home and drank bleach, to try to kill herself.

It didn't work.

The next day all over her Facebook page was written

“Drink some more bleach",

"No one cares",

"I hope she dies, "No one would cry", "Everyone hates you", "Amanda try it again we dare you"…and so much more.

She cried every night. Why did everyone hate her.

One mistake.

One.

She started cutting so much and did drugs,and drank alcohol.

She ended up trying to kill herself again.

She failed.

She couldn't take it anymore.

At the end of the video it said ”I am Amanda Todd. I just need someone.” October 10th she hung herself.

 

 

 

THIS IS JUST THE STORY I HEARD, IDK THE REAL STORY!!!!

*sighs* Read this comment i saw on facebook:

 

Ok, well let's just get this all out of the way so you all can stop your bitching about this dead girl. A lot of what is posted in her video and on her page is fabricated to make her look like she was an angel. Think again.

 

1. She was 15 years old when she flashed those guys.

2. She did it out of her own free will. She CHOSE to do it.

3. She already flirted with many guys before.

4.

She got 'beat' up at school not because of the picture, but because she slept with another girl's boyfriend. (refer to #1)

5. The guy 'bullied' her once only about 6-8 months after she flashed online. Not multiple times over 2 years.

6. She was known to have slept with multiple men and to sell herself out.

7. Her home life wasn't the best. (family troubles)

 

 

You people who are giving her sympathy and pity should all be ashamed of yourselves. Instead of giving pity to a girl who already commited suicide, how about you talk to that lonely kid at lunch? Yea, the one who sits all alone in the corner. But no, you'd rather sit with your friends and then come home and get on facebook and say shit like 'Oh, how come no one helped poor Amanda, she's so pretty, why did she have to die'. firetruck YOU! Go crawl back in your shell of safety while the ones who really need help are only an arms length away.

 

We should be talking about the ones who were bullied and managed to survive through it all. The success stories. Because that's what gives kids hope, the ones who know what it's like to be in their shoes. The ones who have walked that road before and came out ok.

 

What kind of message does it send to impressionable teens that if you go ahead and kill yourself that you will get thousands of likes on a facebook page and everyone will feel sorry for you and give you attention? If you have any self respect for the future then you'd stop and think about where your morals are. If you're too confused with your emotions and common sense, then just get off the internet entirely. No one wants to read your idiotic comments and your emotion filled rage tantrums.

 

tl;dr Stop giving pity to a dead girl. Give it to the ones who deserve it.

lol i guess i edited it to be too large eh?

Oh, sorry. I thought you were mad about this. I should always ask before doing this.

this girl sends a horrible message, that giving up and quitting on life over your temporary problems and not caring about the people it will hurt is ok and you will get attention and pity for it, people who kill themselves are selfish people, they don't care about who they hurt, they just want attention, esp this girl, and situations like it, and this stupid girl never tried to make friends, she just had a bad day and quit, then left, bad day, quit, left, then quit life, AND TRIED TO GET ATTENTION FOR IT! this girl deserves no pity, she should be forgotten and labeled a selfish quitter, I AM SERIOUS! the only message people should get from this girl is that befriend everyone, even and esp the lonely kids, because even if you aren't good friends with them, if you are just friends with them, it will stop stuff like this so easily, so everyone saying poor girl should be saying, what a selfish quitter, i need to make sure the kid who is always alone at school knows he has a friend, stop saying poor girl, and learn that this girl is selfish, and just gave up on life, over nothing, and that you need to befriend people who need friends

Ik she tried to get attention but it's still sad

thats what everyone says about themselves, and most people who befriend people who are likely to kill them selves dont feel so sad, because they know better

[Sigrun 1,064]

Oh god this was all over Facebook last night...I honestly dont know what to say about amanda todd but theres quite a lot of speculation whether she actually Did what she did and was pretty much a slut and that she didnt deserve all this and she wanted attention or she was pretty much a girl that wanted to feel special and that people are betraying her and how her whole life was starting to fall apart...

Saw the 4chan admin post that:

*Warning May contain some offensive material In the Link ABove*

 

I really dont know where to put my opinion on this...

 

and here is the video of her pretty much telling youtube what she feels:

 

I could not find the original link but I honestly feel bad that she had to kill herself but at the same time whether if was for attention or not is in a bit of a grey area becuse who would kill themselves for attention?

 

-It isnt worth it

-You are not only hurting yourself but also hurting people Closest to you because they have to LIVE with the fact that you killed yourself

-I dont think a person in their right mind would actually do that but then again she was depressed, Bullied, and suicidal.

[Protoman 1,974]

this is a fun thread

[Sora_Roxas26 124]

Well I won't kill myself, I have always been good, and I know better so what are you saying about me? Or something?

 

i am saying you say you are always nice to everyone, even the person nobody talks to, and what i said is that everybody thinks they are a good person, and that if you are half as good as you say you are you wouldn't feel so sad, because you would understand the truth about this situation, just saying

What ever.

[Amon 4,279]

Call me what you will, but I feel no sympathy for her. She was clearly craving for attention and got what she wanted. My generation seems to think that doing stupid things has no consequences. This, "YOLO" and "Swag" are the very embodiment of this, and the embodiment of something I truly hate. It may have been one mistake, but some mistakes have harsher consequences than others.

 

Dropping a pencil? No major fallout, you just need to bend over and pick it back up. Dropping a baby? Now here we have some major problems. The baby could be seriously injured and/or face serious developmental issues for the rest of it's life. These are both just one mistake, but have harsher consequences. Amanda didn't think of the consequences. She wasn't naive to what could happen. These days stories of teens ruining their lives from exposing themselves online are very prevalent.

 

Does this mean I think she should of been bullied to the point of committing suicide? Of course not. What I do think is that she brought everything upon herself. The best way to stop the attention whore epidemic that slowly eats away at our society and culture is to ignore those who crave attention. We should be sorry that she died, but not sorry for what led up to that death.

 

And here is somebody who shares my opinion...

Ok whatever

[Think Pink 1,967]

Honestly, I think it's horrible that some of you don't feel any sympathy for this girl. Yes, she did make a GIANT mistake. But it was mentioned that she had family problems. She probably felt very alone and unaccepted, making her very vulnerable. Someone tells her she's pretty, so she does something stupid. Yes, she shouldn't have done it, but I think all this poor girl wanted was someone to tell her she was pretty and deserved to be alive.

 

I understand what it's like to be bullied to the verge of suicide, so I feel awful that she had to go through that. It sounds like her school life was a living hell, and then she went home and things weren't much better. When you're in that much mental and emotional pain (and from the sounds of it, probably some physical pain, too) it's very hard to look at the big picture and realize that one day things will end.

 

It's kind of like if someone is punching you and you can't get away. You're not thinking "one day I'll sue them", you're thinking, "make the pain stop".

 

Yes, she did bring this on herself. But she did not deserve to be tormented like this. I hate to say it, but if this same thing had happened to any of you, at the very least, you'd be horribly depressed and probably go home crying.

 

I don't mean to sound rude to the rest of you, but shame on you for continuing to fault a poor girl who suffered so much.

 

edit: just to add, why would anyone kill themselves for attention? First of all, they'd never get to feel any of that attention, because they'd be dead. And death is a terrifying thing. No one would kill themselves simply because they wanted some facebook likes.

Uh yeah no.

 

I do agree that all suicidal people are attention seekers.

BUT they want attention, to be loved and cared for.

 

You wouldn't pay attention to someone you dont love or care for right? Someone you hate?

 

Why else would someone be in a depression, because no one CARES or pays ATTENTION to them.

So in a way all people are suicidal.

 

BUT

You are being messed up.

She isn't being selfish, you obviously never been suicidal or in a depression in your life.

If people constantly makes you feel like shit and stuff, that's really messed up.

 

I don't know if this is true or not but still. Okay.

[Number XV 490]

Yeah, I agree that she made mistakes, but you shouldn't feel no sympathy.

 

And for one thing, never call suicide selfish and dumb and attention-seeking.

 

It's absolutely horrible.

 

And it's not attention-seeking if you're dead, and not there to see it, is it?

 

So feel bad for people that commit suicide, not ridicule their actions as being 'selfish'.

But it is selfish. There are many people that care for you, especially when you are a 15 year old girl. And clearly she is getting a lot more attention now post-mortem.
