Amanda Todd
Five weeks after uploading the video My Story: Struggling, bullying, suicide, self harm, and a previous attempt at ending her suffering, she was found dead having hung herself.
She was on a internet video chat to meet new friends. A stranger convinced her to send him a picture of her breasts. One year later, she received a message from the man on Facebook, saying that if she wouldn't put on a show for him he would send her picture to everyone she knew. Around 4am the local police told Amanda the photo were all over the internet. Her family decided to move hoping to get her away from the past as she started to have anxiety and depression about the whole situation. She soon got involved in drugs and alcohol. A year later, the person who harassed her reappeared on Facebook creating a profile with her topless photo as a profile image. He knew all of her friends and family like last time. He sent the picture to all of her new friends and she was hated once again. She started cutting herself. So she changed schools again, and although she was alone, it was better than it was at her old school. She started texting an old guy friend of hers and he led her on, eventually having sex with her while his girlfriend was away. A week later her guy friend, his girlfriend, and 14 others showed up at her school where they insulted her and beat her up. When she got home she tried to kill herself by drinking bleach. She moved once again. Once again people bullied her, talking about her failed suicide and making joking about how they wish she would die. She cut herself, overdoses, and never went outside. Eventually it all became to much for her and she hung herself. Although she didn't make all of the right choices, she did not deserve what her peers did to her.
