Basically Romanians don't get jokes or sarcasm on TL. It's a proven fact(I mean....pattern) and it happens over and over again.

I'll break down his post for you:


First of all he's parodying the arguments against suicide here.


Then he makes fun of people calling suicidal kids cowards when it takes balls of steel to kill yourself.

TLDR: He was sarcastic, and Romanians don't get sarcasm, I wish you were a romanian but you're a german.

There's no fucking reason for this thread to exist. People commit suicide every day. Why is this girl's case so special that it warrants its own thread?

No one here has a fucking clue why she killed herself. It's an insult to her and her family to assume that you know why she killed herself because of some crap you read online. It's a tragedy, leave it at that.

wow i didn't think it would take sooo many posts to explain.
Basically greeny K, if you had just clicked the "spoiler" thingy like this :> + Show Spoiler +, you probably would have understood immediately.

Edit: thanks for breaking this down for me

This is one of the most depressing threads I've ever seen on TL. Not just for this awful story, but for all the disgusting opinions that have spilled out because of it. It boggles my mind how people are fucking blaming the victim. It's the same sickening mentality that allows stupid shit like "She was asking for it by wearing those clothes" or "he was begging to get shot" or whatever. No, showing your chest on the internet is not grounds for public shaming, extortion, stalking, and beatings.

Anyone who says this is in any way her fault (even if she did do something stupid, it's something of ill consequence unless a sick piece of shit does their best to ruin her life for it) needs to reevaluate their mindset, because it's a depraved, almost sociopathic one.

Do you know how much stupid, gross shit people do when they are 12-13? Should they now be held to the same standard of conduct as politicians or EG players?

It's partially her fault ... why? For acting like a 13 year old?

Nah. She has nothing but my sympathy.

lol did you even read the thread? the whole reason its a thread is because she told everyone why she did it before she did it.

Social media isn't to blame. Bullying has existed since the beginning of time.

There is no one to blame for this tragedy.

It's not grounds for it, but it can lead to it. Just like taking a stroll through gang territory at 2 am isn't grounds for being assaulted, but can lead to it.

We teach children to be wary of strangers because we somehow expect children to play a part in keeping themselves safe from pedophiles. No one screams that PSA ads on stranger danger equate to blaming children for their own victimization. No one claims that a kid who ignored the advice and got molested as a result will blame himself whenever he hears someone say, "Don't take candy from strangers," so we should never, ever say that stuff to any children, ever.

Yet when it comes to telling women that exercising restraint in the expression of their sexuality will help minimize their risk of sexual assault/harassment, this is treated as blaming victims for their victimization, and telling women they were asking for it. The truth is, women should be able to dress however they want, and they can dress however they want--but when they do, it's only wise to minimize their other risk factors to compensate. In other words, if you're going to behave in ways that attract a lot of sexual attention from a lot of men, you should not make yourself vulnerable or an easy target. If you're going to behave in ways that make you vulnerable, you should not dress in ways that will attract the sexual attention of every man at the bar.



No, it's not. The depraved mindset is that of white knights who think it's okay to discourage others from taking responsibility for their own behavior, and in doing so encourage others to put themselves in danger.



Yeah, I hate irresponsible white knight scum that thinks they're better than people who do understand personal responsibility.

As much as it was her mistake, she was presumably young when it first started. What baffles me are these following questions though:

1. Why did she not delete her Facebook account? Would any person let social media ruin his/her life?
2. She said she switched schools. I know for a fact that doing so requires that a parent/guardian sign some papers. Who signed the papers? If it was one of her parents, then did the mother/father not ask for a good justification?
3. No police officer would go to a minor and say "Ur nudez got leaked on the internewts, k, bai". If the police came to her door at 4am, surely they spoke to a parent/guardian?
4. Schools in the U.S. are very close to one another (at least in my state). She knew it was a matter of time until the information would catch up. Why not switch states and even change names in order to escape the past and start a new future?
5. She was taken to the hospital for drinking fucking bleach. She was old enough to not mistake bleach for water, or even to assume that it was an accident. Surely a parent would realize that this was a suicidal attempt, yet they didn't take any future and concrete action?

It's a tragic to think that a girl endured so much for such a long time. It really saddens me that she killed herself. What saddens me more is the attitude of the people she believed she trusted, who turned around and bit her in the ass. Where the hell is the parents' response and intervention during the incidents, or even now, after it all ended for her?

That's such a bad excuse. You don't get any more innocence when your young in todays world with social media. Just because your 13 doesn't mean one stupid mistake can destroy your life. I bet you if this girl went to get a job and googled her name they might get pictures of her naked. That's why it's the parents responsibility to make sure what their kids are doing online isn't something like this. It's not like you need to hover 24/7 around the PC just put the computer in the family room.

Girl flashes her boobs at 13 to some creep and then the creep destroys her life. How many times has this exact same thing happened?

This whole drama played out a few times at my school, one girls huge bush and anothers pancake nips and pretty much everyone saw. That was just in my grade that I actually saw. We actually had a huge scandal where a bunch of gr11/12 boys had nude pictures taht gr9/10s sent them. And they keep fucking doing it lol... What do you expect to happen?

It's not like it's rocket science to not go flashing your body to strangers online. I mean what the hell do you think will happen. We had seminars in school in BC about this shit. Girl flashes boobs --> Creep now blackmails you for more shit --> your now at his mercy. I don't understand why people do this at all. You can go on 4chan and see hundreds of random girls of age/underage who decided flashing some random dude was a good idea and now they are going to be forever online with their professional and personal lives in the balance at the mercy of some creep on line.


I'm not claiming I didn't do anything stupid when I was younger. But this isn't the same world that I grew up in. Just like we live in an entirely different world than our parents grew up in. Sadly your time of innocence as a young teen doesn't exist any more.
