Hey guys, I know that I haven't been updating this blog very often. But today, I wanted to talk about something that has been in everyone's minds lately. A teenager named Amanda Todd. She was bullied to the point where she committed suicide. This is her story:
This girl, her name is Amanda Todd.
She posted a video on YouTube a few days ago.She was bullied so bad it led to suicide...She was in a webcam chat group to meet up with new and old people.And then they asked her to flash...
So she did.....
Thinking it was nothing...
A year went by and some guy she did not know, messaged her saying
”Give me a 'show' or I will send your boobs.”
She ignored it.....
Christmas Break came and a knock came on her door at 4 AM.
It was the police...
That person sent the picture to EVERYONE.
Everyone judged her.
Bullied her.
From ONE MISTAKE.
She ended up switching schools.
That person found out her school, friends, address once again and sent them there too.
She had no one.
Everyone hated her.
She ended up switching towns.
Then at this new school....She met this boy who she thought liked her.
He didn't....he had a girlfriend.
One day she got a note saying you better leave school.
She didn't.
A group of boys and girls including that boy, the girlfriend and more came up to her while the school surrounded her.
The girl said “Look around, No one likes you.”
One kid from the group said “JUST PUNCH HER ALREADY!” So she did, and Amanda got beat really bad.
And got left.
Alone.
And her dad ended up finding her in a ditch hours later.
She went home and drank bleach, to try to kill herself.
It didn't work.
The next day all over her Facebook page was written
“Drink some more bleach",
"No one cares",
"I hope she dies, "No one would cry", "Everyone hates you", "Amanda try it again we dare you"…and so much more.
She cried every night. Why did everyone hate her.
One mistake.
One.
She started cutting so much and did drugs,and drank alcohol.
She ended up trying to kill herself again.
She failed.
She couldn't take it anymore.
At the end of the video it said ”I am Amanda Todd. I just need someone.” October 10th she hung herself.
She is dead. Rest in paradise, Amanda. You're beautiful. I will find a way to help stop bullying. I will share your story.
Heaven gained an angel. ♥
They started calling her Beautiful, Stunning, cute, Etc.

She hung herself on October 10th, 2012. I hope she's in peace now. She realized her mistake, and she knew what she did was wrong. She tried to move on, but the ties with her past kept pulling her back. So many teenagers suffer from depression now. Over 90% of teens take drugs and alcohol. You can view Amanda's last video here:

Something similar to this happened in April 3rd, 2012. Nineteen year old Oliva "Liv" Penpraze was held as an inpatient at a Melbourne Psychiatric Clinic. She suffered from Borderline Personality Disorder, Anxiety, Psychotic Depression, Dissociation Identity Disorder, EDNOS (Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified) and Body Dysmorphic Disorder. This lead to many, MANY injuries, and suicide attempts. This was caused by years and years of bullying. Small comments that had built up overtime. This, and trauma from her past lead to low self esteem. Suffering from psychosis, Olivia had one best friend that suffered through everything with her. Her name was "Bree". She was imaginary; built by Olivia's psychosis. Olivia experienced many things that were not true to any of us. Her hallucinations. She called these people "evil people". She said she felt them torture her, punch her, try to kill her, and call her fat. She wouldn't believe anything her friends said. These "evil people" wouldn't let her go. She described psychosis as a "LIVING BREATHING NIGHTMARE" in her video. She said that nothing would make it go away, not even sleep. Her delusions covered reality. On April 3rd, 2012, Oliva Liv Penpraze hung herself. This is what bullying causes. Please. If you see someone getting bullied, stand up for them. If you are a bully, PLEASE STOP. You are the kind of person that causes these incidents to happen.
I will always remember these two girls. You should too. Nobody deserves this kind of pain.
