Yes, she made incredibly stupid mistakes. Yes, she should have known better. Yes, in a way she brought this on herself.

She brought it on herself to get harrassed and her life ruined multiple times by the same person?

That is interesting. I'd see the ppl at fault who obviously had the goal to ruin someone's life.

I really don't understand people that feel so sorry for her. There's so much shit going on in the world to feel sorry about yet some random teenager that commits suicide seems to create an outrage of compassion bigger than real tragedies often involving many lives.

And since I'm on it i can't understand most of the actions this girl did. The story just seems like some made up bullshit. She lost all her friends because of a photo of boobs? Really? I'm pretty sure if a photo of my dick got public on the internet I wouldn't lose all my friends if any. Except I assume her boobs were actually nice to look at, so what's the problem? And if she really was so sensitive etc. why no one had helped her: parents, teachers, psychologist? Everyone hated her because of the boobs? Also you don't have to have a facebook account.

Seriously the whole global mourning after her saddens me more then this whole story.

None of the statements you quoted were false. tMomiji made perfectly clear that she was not at fault. Why would you cut of his quote?

I feel this is getting too much attention, more than it deserves. Don't get me wrong it's sad she killed herself, it's sad her life was cut short over bullshit like this.

I just have a lot of issues surrounding this specific incident. She could have avoided a lot of this, first of all by not showing her breasts to random people online. We can only assume she did it often. The media had the audacity to say "She was lured into showing her breasts to an unknown male." I'm sorry but you don't "lured" into that. That would be like me stabbing someone and then telling the police the victim lured me into stabbing them. She should have had better security settings on Facebook. She shouldn't have done whatever she did with this other guy who had a girlfriend. She moved and things caught up with her again, there is just no excuse for that happening without it being her own fault. She actively searched out drugs and alcohol. That just doesn't fall into your lap, especially when you're 15. She said she was "alone", she wasn't. No one is ever alone, they just deluded themselves into believing that.

Growing up I can say I was a bully and I've been bullied. I've seen people get it way worse than this girl (Now I know feelings are subjective and it doesn't matter if it's worse in an objective sense, because situations can always be the "worst" for the specific victim). I actually know a kid who killed himself in grade 5 due to bullying. Did it really receive much attention? No. Many people have killed themselves over bullying and cyber-bullying but it hasn't received as much attention. I don't know why, but I can only speculate because she's a moderately attractive young girl from middle/upper-suburbia. Also this is being picked up by all the "Trend-whores" of the internet. This just reminds me of Kony 2012 all over again. No one will care in 2-3 months, even though this is just a pessimistic outlook I suppose I can say that I do hope something will change to a degree.

I apologize if this sounds cold or uncaring.

Now with that being said, I hope the police are trying to catch this unknown male. Sending out nude photos of a 15 year old girl falls under a lot of cyber-crimes and you can do heavy time for that.
