[QUOTE=FlakAttack;38007303]Nobody ever teaches you how to deal with this kind of bullying. Most of it is the occasional retarded shit you're better off ignoring. But this? Following the girl around even though she isn't even in the same city? Harrassing her for months? Who are these sick fucking kids and why the fuck aren't their parents slapping the shit out of them?
I know a bit about how this girl feels though. I had this one guy who would constantly track me down as I moved from place to place and school to school. Would contact my friends and girls I'm dating, lie to them about me, and they would ditch me. His crowning achievement was to hook a girl I was currently dating on cocaine, make her sleep with him, and eventually to lead her away from me. She then told all the guys at the neighbourhood hockey games bullshit, and they just ate it up. They tried to set up a hockey game and get me over there so they could beat my ass.
Facebook groups got set up, lies got told, fights broke out, etc... all quite dramatic really. Even after going through it myself though... I still don't understand what would drive someone to hunt someone else down for months (or even years in my case). I only know one thing: if you are a parent or a friend of people going through this, fuck even trying to deal with these insane assholes. Just call the police and start reporting everything that happens. Take screenshots of the harrassment, and build your case. Keep the school updated on what is happening and ask them to do something about it. If they refuse, tell them the police have everything on file and you will sue the kids AND the schoolboard if they don't do something about it.
When people do crazy shit like this, you cannot afford to have any mercy. Hit hard and fast, put that shit down before it gets too big to handle. When I got to my new school, this is the policy I followed and it worked so well I wished I had thought of it before. Fuck I didn't even have to fight anybody.
She did handle it pretty badly, but as I mentioned, no one ever really teaches you how to deal with this.[/QUOTE]
Man, I wish every bully victim, could easily handle shit like this as well as you did.
[QUOTE=Arc Nova;38065785]GEEZ BE RUDE ABOUT IT[/QUOTE]
I'm just pretty sour about this whole thing. It always feels like most people only want to do something about this when it's already too late, and that the people who could have helped and would have been willing to do so don't find out until there's a body.
In the end because so few people take bullying seriously and reluctance is expressed when attempts are made to change that fact this is just going to keep repeating itself in one way or another.

[QUOTE=Elspin;38065221]"Oh hey, a thread on Amanda Todd! I'm sure there will be no sexism, or morons going 'fuck her her fault'"
Fuck. These type of threads honestly attract the most bitter and stupid people and I don't get what their problem is. She made a mistake, yeah, but she didn't deserve to lose her entire life over it.[/QUOTE]
This.
The way the internet works is cruel, mistakes and regretful events you do haunt you since they never go away.

It wasn't until my failure here that I realized the reality of this.
it hasn't even been that long and Amanda Todd feels like the latest beaten-to-death topic
I'm not sure what to feel
[QUOTE=GodKing;38006312]Good. Why people feel the need to incessantly torture someone is beyond me. Is it a parental thing or are they just inherently evil?[/QUOTE]
some kids feel the need to cut down the weak/miserable/weird so they can thin the population
lots of bullies believe that deep down they are doing a good thing

his information was publicly released apparently
Anon immediately jumped on it.
[QUOTE=Arc Nova;38060809]I'm bringing looks into this because generally prettier people get more attention, that's not bullshit that's hardwired fact, and sure you can think whatever you want about me, you think I haven't been depressed or bullied because I have no sympathy for people who suicide? Fine. BUT That makes no sense at all and now you're the one who is pulling shit out of your ass[/QUOTE]
I don't agree with you blaming her but you're absolutely right that this story wouldn't be anywhere near as big if she was ugly, or even if she was black.

I don't blame her I just don't sympathize with her.
Pretty sad that people go to lengths to bring harm/annoyance to people like this who just made one stupid little mistake. However, she should have never been on video chat on that site to start, and she definitely shouldn't have flashed for people. She is old enough to know what she was doing. I know I'm going to get shit for saying this, but you are just acting all over sympathetic for her because of her looks.
I don't even think peoples sympathy is because of her looks. What happened is truly upsetting, any case where a person is depressed enough to end their own life is terrible. She was old enough to know better, but we all make mistakes. Her mistake just so happened to be blown up in her face and shown to the whole internet and all her loved ones. It is unfortunate, and the asshole who has the heart to completely ruin a girls life is a fuck in my opinion. No matter whether her flashing him was wrong or whatever. Young teenage girls fucking eat up attention from guys, and she was just one of them.
you don't get to tell other people why they are sympathetic, sorry

she was 15 wtf
and she was 12 when she flashed that guy, after he urged her to do it (I said 13 earlier but I read it was actually 12)

I have a 12 year old cousin
doesn't mean she's gonna show the tits.
Also I've seen the tit pics of Amanda by literally Google Searching "Amanda Todd", she was extremely developed for a 12 year old. You positive that was taken when she was 12 because I mean, they were huge.

What about the parents who let her go on that kinda site at that age in the first place? Of course the guys and everyone who bullied her are at full blame, but so is her parents and herself. I don't see random depressed males with no family or friends who hang themselves getting ANY level of sympathy or attention at all. Sure it's worse and seems more sad because it's a young girl, but it shouldn't, the random male #15384 who killed himself should be getting this kind of sympathy too. Call it an assumption all you want, but you only care because it's a young girl. You know it's true.
show me random male #15384 and i'll be sympathetic for them
she was in the 7th grade
also, the guy that anonymous found to most likely be the guy was a 30 year old man
so, a 30 year old man coerced a 12 year old into flashing her breasts online and then proceeded to stalk, harass and distribute her pictures online (child pornography), and yet you guys are shitty enough to only whine about her supposedly being the one to blame
you guys have issues

We learned about not sharing pictures and videos of ourselves naked to anyone ever while we are under 18 when I was in 4th or 5th grade. Pretty sure that's a thing that all schools in the country require now.

I'm trying very hard to understand where you are getting this idea that I said or think it's all her fault. It's not. It's pretty much everyone involved fault. No excuse for bullying her or asking her to show her boobs or distributing the pictures. But, it also is partially her fault. She is 12 and she should already have learned about the danger of that kind of stuff, and her internet activity should have been being monitored by her parents too. I feel horrible that she had to go through this stuff and died, but that doesn't change the fact that people care about it more then usual just because she seems to be a very nice and pretty female.
