Many people die in life. Let me restart a little less cruel, there are horrible things that can occur when being bullied. One of the worst, or actually the worst is suicide. Now suicide to all you beautiful viewers who don't know is when someone takes his or her life most likely after experiencing a terrible event. Cyber bullying can also lead to death (the victim), it will make someone feel so lowly of themselves that they no longer want to live. There is a particular victim who has attempted to kill herself twice failing the first time but successfully dying the second (I'm going to sound harsh throughout this post). Her attempts where bleach then hanging herself, if you haven't guessed already, it was Amanda Todd.

Amanda was a teenage girl by the age of 15 who killed herself at her house in British Colombia in Canada. How did she come to such a decision? In seventh grade, Amanda was getting a little...bad on the Internet when she flashed to a 35 year old man who was also the online bully. There is a saying that states "everybody makes mistakes, everybody has those days"-Hannah Montana, well I'm sorry Hannah but this is to far of a mistake for both Amanda and the bully (not saying Amanda's at fault). Her photos were then leaked to the whole school and she was not only bullied online but in school too (at least that's the way i understood it). She had been cutting her wrists for some time when she decided to make a video expressing the way she felt and what her story was. At the end of the video, the part that shocked everyone, the photos of her wrists.


I don't agree at all with what she did, that being the flash and the suicide. If she were to keep her "parts" to herself, all of this would never have happened. Also what do grade sevens do these days? Play in the park with their friends and go to school etc... Not going meeting older strangers online! Whatever, maybe I'm the different one let's not judge, on to the suicide, she could've simply waited a little longer to get out of high school and let the whole cyber bullying incident pass over. Or she could've deleted her social media account and had to deal with only school and the bullying there.

  2. Hey Rifaat, your topic is very serious and sad… I agree with you when you said that killing herself wasn’t the best decision, not only did she take her own life away, but she also left her parents feeling guilty for not being able to help her, I’ve watched her parents in an interview on YouTube a while back, and I felt very sorry for them, I hope that no parents have to go through this hard time, good luck on your next posts.
