WHAT I KNOW ABOUT AMANDA TODD

Journal Entry: Fri Oct 19, 2012, 6:10 PM
Well for all I know, Amanda was a 15-year-old Canadian teenager whose suicide was attributed to cyber-bullying through Facebook. On September 7, 2012, Todd posted a video on YouTube in which she used a series of flash cards to tell of her experience of being blackmailed, bullied, and physically assaulted. Seeing this made me do this poster:




People of DeviantART, even I been there with my high school days... even though I wouldn't ending up suicide myself, but after that I had friends that support and understand me on what I am... If i had met her before I would be her best friend :) I would support her for what ever problem she has... if she hadn't died... she would be lucky to have a friend like me...

I read that the internet group Anonymous worked with police in British Columbia to track down her cyberbully/stalker. He turned out to be a 30 year old man. Anonymous exposed him online, posting his name, address, phone number, everything. I hope he is prosecuted to the full extent of the law as a sexual predator and leading to her death.

I was very affected by her story. It is a reminder to people to be responsible with their words because there is a person attached to the other end of a computer. Trolls and the like need to stop. In this day and age, the young are exposed to the entire world on the internet, and some regret may not disappear. I don't really post or reply to anything on YouTube, as the site is a magnet for the haters to rip into some poor persoon who has shared a glimpse into their life there.

In todays world, we can all become internet celebrities and evaluated by a public eye. As such, we need a level of imperviousness to protect us from harsh words.

You are very welcome :heart:

I think we have all had our fair share of bullies and negativity in our lives, time to break the cycle :nod: and when people know that other people care and are willing to help it makes seeking and getting help a little easier :)

Bravo to you Eddie :)
