One more angel in heaven, one more star in the sky.
Amanda Michelle Todd (died October 10, 2012) was a 15-year-old
Canadian teenager whose suicide was attributed to cyber-bullying through the social networking website Facebook.
So I just heard the news and watched the video. Watch the whole video or watch nothing!
What can I say? I am shocked. I mean, suicides happen just too often. And this girl even put her story in a video which is really heartbreaking. She had to run away for such a long time and I can't understand why people are doing things like that.
Yes, she showed her boobs. And? It was ONE mistake she did. ONE! Who should've known that this mistake would follow her and destroy her whole life? Who should've know that people could be so cold? They should feel so damn ashamed! Her video is known wordwide now.
She tried to kill herself twice. I thought people would stop bullying after her first try. But what did they do? They punched her, they bullied and bullied and they never stopped.
It just made me cry because people destroyed the life of a pretty, young and wonderful girl.
She posted this video because she thought it wold help other people. She felt horrible and even wanted to help other people.
And as always Facebook took part in this bullying process.
I think it is time to show some respect now. I already offered the family my condolences and I think it is time to take a break from facebook.
And in my opinion facebook should be shut down!
I will continue writing this blog, tumblr and twitter. But social networks.. You can talk and meet in real life and it is time to take a stand against the internet. It has become an important part of our lives, I know. But some people use it for other things and I don't want to be in a network that takes part in a bullying process and that's one of the reasons young girls or boys kill themselves.
Maybe it is okay for other people, but not for me.
Show some respect, be strong, take a stand against social networks.
