[Locked] Amanda Todd

I thought that was every parent's dream?

Was she pressured?

Because I feel like in the majority of cases, adolescent girls are just in their slutty period. Even I had one. I didn't show nips, but I was a faaarrrr cry from innocent.

Zero Tolerance is a stupid way to go about the issue.

Parents took away a lot of the power from teachers, so the ones that DO care can't do much against some of the students for fear of losing their jobs.

And that's not accounting for the fact that many teachers really just don't give a fuck anymore and are teachers only because they have tenure.

Yeah, in her video she said that some guy told her that if she didn't gave him a show he would send everyone she knew pics of her boobs, which is stupid in my opinion since 'putting on a show' would give him more evidence, anyways, she took responsibility for her actions, maybe too much but for every action, there's a consequence. And yeah, I get it, she's in her teens, she's stupid, but damm!

What a strange thing to make public.

This man speaks le truth~ :V

Poor innocent Amanda Todd.
pic is her

I thought i read she was. But in either case, this feels like a case of slut shaming taken to extreme levels.

I maintain

-Terrible fucking parents

I agree with lollikittie.


Who seriously lets their 12 year olds use webcams? Although that kid should have known better, it's really hard to sympathize or claim "slut shaming".

[edit]I'll fix that -neg rep later since it was an accident...damn scroll wheel.

Some parents are ignorants when it comes to technology

edit:

does anyone else see my comment or was it removed?

If you were one of the majority of kids at my high school you'd be too drunk or high to give a shit let alone throw a punch. I guess weed was a good thing after all because I don't recall any fist fights breaking out, just people bragging about getting drunk at a party and being stoned. Maybe that's the solution, less booze more herb less fucks given about fighting jk.

:(

Okay, i'll admit that probably was not a great decision by the parents, but from what i understand the whole school stopped talking to her just because of that one mistake. Plenty of teenagers make stupid decisions, because they are teenagers.

Doesn't mean they deserve to be labeled a whore for it, a term that i think is sexist anyways. But that's another topic for another day

It's a bit sickening no matter which 'side' you're on. If you think that it's a shame a girl had to die for everyone to start talking about bullying again - for the next couple of weeks, at least - then yes, you're right. Not entirely though, she made a stupid mistake after already having made said mistake once before, and she dealt with it the only way she could, because she was weak-willed. That much is obvious or else she wouldn't have caved to the pressure in the first place. Yes, she was a teen and hormones make it more difficult to reason but everyone here has gone through puberty, and I'm guessing no one made the mistake of setting themselves up for suicide.

Apparently she slept around, had sex with some dudes boyfriend, flashed her tits, and got black mailed. her own fault.
Lesson for yo kiddies; don't be an idiot.
She killed herself for something fucking trivial. Can anybody say natural selection?

she flashed her tits when she was 12, she's been teased at her former school for it.
they transferred her as mentioned
but the issue 'followed' her apparently... and she was threatened in her fb account years later.

why does she still have an fb account and continues to cam herself, no wonder her past hounded her. she's not good at hiding herself. and why did the parents allow it?

points of what kind of stupid events piled up to make this stupid girl kill herself.

1. they labelled her as a slut for one stupid mistake she's done as a child
2. she became a prick and as her schoolmates claimed she also was a bully sometimes. So she didn't get much sympathy... bullied bullies don't get brownies apparently, they just get kicked more and the whole school just stood there and watched.
3. and what kind of guy comes on to a girl when he has a girlfriend already? the guy's gf and her friend are branded 'murderers' but why haven't I heard anything about this guy? I'm more disturbed by the idea that this guy sort of 'took advantage' of her sort of 'vulnerable state'.
4. again! why does she still have a cam? so that she can fb and youtube herself? in the next 4 years prior to her death?

WTH! I just rambled at a whole wall of post. well IB can just ignore it...
