October is anti-bullying month. There's probably a story similar to this in every city, but wanted to share this. This is a local girl who recently commited suicide over being bullied.

The Story of Amanda Todd (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej7afkypUsc)

This girl killed herself shortly after this video.

Obviously there will be mixed reviews about this video, but let's not try to deviate too far from the actual message.

I dont mean to sound harsh or to blame her, but why didnt she just get off social networking sites?

Nevertheless bullies are horrible people.

Better yet, why didn't she press charges or have police investigate who this stalker was through FB?

But yes, bullies are horrible

It's surreal that this happened in my city, in fact my nephews knew about this girl. People are going batty in this city, kids skipping school today because of this

I hate bullying. You shouldn't pick on someone that is weaker or smaller than yourself. As a kid I've went through both phases. The Bully and the bullied phase. Bullying as been around since the beginning of time. But why is it so political now. Why is there a anti-bullying month..is that really necessary? I hate politicians.

especially the last couple cards

the cruelty of some kids/teenagers is shocking at times, and of course its worse because of mob mentality (gotta be mean to fit in)
she struggled so much, and people beat her while she was on the ground...
poor girl

Not too derail but I see that attitude on here even.

This whole bullying thing is being blown out of proportion. Bullying has and will always exist. Is it wrong? Sure. But bullying is part of human nature and adults engage in forms of bullying as well let alone kids.

For god's sakes we live in America. America is the biggest bully in the world by far. We ain't complaining.

That doesn't mean we have to accept it as our reality. Anything to hinder behavior that causes someone to kill themselves is not a waste of time. If you mean to suggest people should just stop worrying about bullying and let it happen, the problem will grow.

just watched the whole thing.
I duno..

First of all I felt her family has to be somewhat responsible. They never talked to her? Gave her help and support? Gave her advice on what to do? It seems her parents are separated, and that had an effect on her too.

Second.. a lot of it was her own doing. First flashing.. that was dumb, but ok she was young. Then when the freaky guy showed up.. she should have told her family, and gotten the cops to track the guy. If her boobs were seen by everyone already, she could tell her family about it right? She also slept with another girl's BF, knowing that he had a gf. Why would she do that? Those were her actions.

Her last mistake? Why did she keep all of her old friends from facebook? She wanted to move on didn't she? What's the point of moving to a new city if you're keeping your old friends on facebook?

At the end of the day, I felt a lot of things could've been done differently. A lot of people could have helped her, including herself.

I observed those same things. Young girls can be pretty naive though. Sleeeping with the guy? She had a need to be wanted. Stalker? He threatened her. Keeping her FB contacts? Curiousity. She had seperated parents too.
But doesn't it seem the ones who are bullied seem to bottle it up the most? She was a recluse, had anxiety which forced her to stay indoors. She probably couldn't tell a person if she wanted to.
In any case I still sympathize. She may have created some circumstances, but she did try to escape them, and she didn't asked to be hated for simply flashing her boobs.

I used to only think bullying like that happened on television shows and in movies, but I keep on getting proved wrong. I have such a hard time understanding how a group of people can torment an individual so much that they want to kill themselves, and without a single person stepping in and saying this is wrong. I'd like to think if I was put into that situation I would stand up for the bullied, so I don't get why there aren't more people who help. We lieve in a messed up world man :(

Not offended bro.

In certain situations yes. I'm pretty sure that these bullies figured this girl wasn't going to ever kill herself. It's pure entertainment to them. Take a smaller scale like ISH. One poster becomes a target? boom! Mob mentality occurs. What do the outsiders do who click on the thread? Join the pile on at the expense of the singular poster who is trying to defend themselves.

Now in no way are these 2 situations on the same scale but the scenario plays out the same on any scale.

there was actually a recent incident in S.Korea where some people on the internet spread false rumors nonstop about a celebrity idol, saying he lied about having a Stanford diploma amongst other things, which hurt his career, and the judge just sentenced them to 10 months in prison. pretty crazy.

The amount of negativity, hate, and bullying that continues after the girls death.. There are people are there posting that she deserves it, and making memes and jokes about it.

Even with all the fights here on ISH, this is a much better and peaceful place.

The internet is a weird place. Seriously.. where are all these f-ed up people in real life??

Yeah it's no doubt a sad and messed up story, but young girls have to be smart about what they put out there to the public. The 2nd thing I don't understand is why the police aren't investigating someone who's stalking a girl and putting up topless pictures of an underage girl.

She was a kid. Obviously your childhood was completely free of stupid choices but unfortunately nobody else's was. That's like sitting there and saying "well killing herself was stupid because in 20 years none of this will matter." Just because it's true doesn't mean it's applicable to a teenage girl.

To kids at that age everything is so big. I just wish they could hang on a little bit because if they did they'd see how much your life can change. Nothing or nobody is worth your life. Suicide f**king sucks.

These stories capture my attention because of the what if factor. What if the people around her were better equipped to help her deal with her problems. What if someone had noticed a hint that she was suicidal. What if this pathetic stalker had been found and arrested.

10-12-2012, 09:14 PM
Suicide is permanent solution to a temporary problem. She had so much life left ahead of her. **** all those kids that bullied her. It's sad they get satisfaction from doing that. I have to say though. I think social media is the main culprit in bullying. Lets be honest, bullying has been going on in schools for ages. Now with things like Facebook, twitter, etc., it will follow you no matter where you go.

Blame the parents for not pressing charges against the pedo who was posting pics of an 8th grader's boobs on the internet.
Also She gets assaulted in front of 50 people, on video and her parents still don't do anything. Bad parenting.

I feel like I want to say a lot of things about the power of anonymity the internet brings and even if not anonymous the sort of no boundaries atmosphere a lot of people approach it with but I don't really know how honestly.

There's obviously always been bullying, but I'm 28, when it went on when I was in 8th/9th grade you knew who was doing it. Say what you will about it, but there's at least some honesty in mocking a person to their face. Now anyone can do it, for every one kid with the shitty life that wants to tear someone down to their face there's a dozen that're thinking it but would never dare say it. Now they can, just go make a fake Facebook account and troll your ass off.

The internet's one of the greatest inventions we've ever made, but my god, it's just as easily one of the worst.

Me too. I may be twice some of these kids ages but I would smack the shyt out of them if I came across them. It's appauling how these kids (the bullies) have absolutely no sympathy towards her and her family whatsoever. Still posting things like the bleach did it's job finally. Absolutely disgusting. They refuse the accountability. It won't be too long, just like the Vancouver riots, that people's names and faces will be publicly exposed and all hell breaks loose.
There are petitions going around asking to reveal identity or at least have the stalker guy arrested. Also the girls who assaulted her.

Extremely tragic and unfortunate. I can't help but wonder, what the **** the parents were doing through all this? Get the child off facebook for god sakes. Teach the kid better morals, and discipline, like not flashing people or not sleeping with a guy that has a girl friend.

Those bullies are despicable and represent the cruelness of humans, but parents need to be part of their kid's lives more. Teach them that the internet IS NOT SERIOUS PLACE. That posting things on there are just as permanent as tattooing it on your forehead. That internet is open to everyone and posting things you wouldn't want other people seeing is a huge mistake.

I think kids need to be educated about the internet before they use it, and parents need to be educated themselves on the risks that are present on the internet.

This girl clearly made mistakes, but I point the cause of those mistakes on the parents... for the love of god, parent you kids, look out for their safety, teach them right and wrong, appropriate and inappropriate, there really isn't anything more important then your kids' development as a person, you have to call then out when they **** up, and teach them the right way. Not just act like they can do no wrong, or just trust that they ok if they don't mention something. People need to take a more involved approach to parenting.

no parents need to be involved in there kids lives and talk to them how to deal with social problems and be open and not keep issues like this to themselves. they need to be mature around kids and tell them that what you do on the internet is permanent and there are a holes who can and will take advantage of scenarios like this.

oh the horror
10-15-2012, 02:58 AM
What I will say is that this shit is getting out of control. With the anonymity of the internet, people are just eating each other alive online.


This chick offs herself over this nonsense, and they're STILL making fun of her online? The general cruelty among humans, and the darker underbelly of society is really bubbling up to the surface on here, and at times, its a bit disturbing to see.

I commented on something regarding this chick, and several hours later a FB page of "Amanda" was trying to add me....


note the status updates:

http://www.facebook.com/amanda.todd.5494






So even in death, people out there are spitting on her grave? Really?



We can all rationalize her stupidity in dealing with this situation, and how silly, naive, young and dumb she was, but the end result is that this girl was literally harassed to the point of suicide. And she is still being ripped apart. Craziness. :wtf:

edit to add: im even reading that on her memorial page, people are still coming in to post attacks on this girl. What kind of shit is that?

1. Her parents were probably divorced at some point. She indicated that she moved from her dad's to her mom's.
2. She flashed her breasts in 2009-2010 so the whole "don't post/show something online if you don't want others to see it" was probably around. Angie Varona had her pics leaked only a couple years prior.

There are some things she can be blamed for. One is her having sex with that boy whose gf would later beat her up. Yes, that girl took it to the extreme, but Amanda did give her a reason to do it. Amanda may have done it out of sheer loneliness. Drugs and alcohol consumption? Yes, but let's not act like no other teens do them. I don't condone teen girls flashing their breasts online, but it's not like she did it at the first chance. She probably had some kind of relationship (most likely fabricated on the other end) with that stalker. Remember, she did it 1 year after she first started web caming.

Why didn't she get taught lessons about strangers? Maybe she did and she didn't listen like most kid wouldn't. Probably the only person who knows the whole story is her because she was so secluded. It'd be more clear if we got the parents' honest sides of the story.

Most people don't realize that she's a kid and probably were never put in her kind situation. I'm betting a lot of those internet bullies grew up with dial-up in their teens or were in high school when webcams were on the rise. People think that teens should be able to get over that stuff or to be able to make up a solution, but teens are very conditionable. Although they can act like it, they aren't fully capable adults.

Don't get me wrong, because bullies are pieces of absolute sh*t, but why is this particular suicide story getting so much attention?

it is pretty obvious.

it is almost like the same thought processes that bullies use to select victims are the same ones people use to care or not care about victims of bullies. if they conform to some ideal they matter, if not who cares?

it might be a little more dramatic because she posted a youtube video before it happened, but i still don't believe if the girl was less attractive the situation would have garnered the same attention?

recently in australia this woman was taken, raped and murdered in melbourne.

these kinds of things aren't that common here, but when they happen they usually make the news for a week and then the story dies down. but this was the march in reaction to the news.

the story is sad and deserved the attention it got. but the problem is that so many stories don't. the problem isn't that tragedies that happen to attractive people illicit strong reactions, but that when they happen to less attractive people or socially important people they don't. somehow their value is worth less? something is seriously messed up with that, and in some ways it goes hand in hand with bullying because some type of distinction based on characteristics is made about the victims.

holy shiit who found out about this??
people on the internet? :applause:
wow.. when motivated, citizens can be better than cops :oldlol:


but yeah.. the facebook support pages are disgusting. I can't imagine how those hateful people are in real life. I better they wouldn't say anything of the sort in real life, just brave behind screens. I would pay to see cops knock on their door, or someone punch their face out.

The guy is going to get lynched. Even his address has been leaked.

I know exactly where this guy lives. I'm going to drive by today and see the damage

Do report back.
i wonder when and where this leaked started though.. it's going to get interesting..

and I just opened that youtube video.. and wtf? Top 10 blackmailer? wtf is this shiit?

Am I the only one that has never been on those webcam sites? I have only used my webcam for skyping with family, friends, and gf. After seeing bits of that video.. it's like a freak show. Is it a common thing for young people to go to these days??

No kidding. I have no idea why young teenagers would video chat with strangers like that. You are just enabling the sick pedos out there who are trying to exploit you. The police have to be able to charge Kody with something though like solicitation of a minor. He did convince a 12 year old to show him her tits and then he posted them around the internet. That should be distribution of child pornography right there.

I've never owned a webcam. I remember the old AOL chats from years ago and that was brutal even though there were no webcams involved. Meeting people over the internet is just not safe.

Not to mention any need to do so. maybe messing around when you're bored, but actually showing yourself to the stranger and being emotionally attached? :facepalm

So the last 10 minutes I did some catching up on this case and I found:

Alleged Amanda Todd tormenter tracked down

and this is the awesome hacker group:applause:

I don't know what they usually do.. but is pretty awesome, if they have the right guy that is. I mean the cops would never be this efficient, or leak the data to the public, until like months later

the story is sad and deserved the attention it got. but the problem is that so many stories don't. the problem isn't that tragedies that happen to attractive people illicit strong reactions, but that when they happen to less attractive people or socially important people they don't. somehow their value is worth less? something is seriously messed up with that, and in some ways it goes hand in hand with bullying because some type of distinction based on characteristics is made about the victims.

So you're saying that you found this 15-year-old girl attractive?

Pretty sad what happened. She totally could have avoided it if she didn't go on fricking chatroulette in the first place. But then again, young girls are naive. Even after she flashed, if she just got off facebook, then none of this would've happened, and I guarantee she would be a whole lot happier since.

I think their idea was that even if he wasn't the guy, he was still another Pedo deserving of being put on the public for being a scum. One of the videos (taken down now) showed this Kody as being a "top 10 blackmailer". If he's the guy that did this, he deserves it. If he's not? he still deserves it for blackmailing other teenage girls, I wouldn't feel an ounce of sympathy for him.
