I'm not a biblical expert but suicide being a sin is definitely where people get the idea that it's shameful and selfish

The guy has a twitter. Here's one gem he tweeted to a different girl a year ago:

@chloegriffo Your choices have consequences, and you made your choice, hope you can live with it(;


Disgusting. I hope he goes to jail for life, or worse.

Can we please move on instead of caring about someone we never knew? Or will ever know, for that matter?

Again, extolling an idea of some sweet, innocent victimized girl is bad.

Making her a martyr for teen suicides is bad.

Jesus, people. Pull yourselves together for a change. She fucked up, made a mistake, and we're attempting to ameliorate someone who.. Well, is incapable of being ameliorated?

I mean, sure, have your ten minutes of pseudo-encouragement and sudden altruism but in the end: Who the fuck is Amanda Todd?

I mean really, who was she and why should I care now because she's dead?

I'll tell you who: Her friends and family, aka NOT YOU.

I know, this has been beaten to death a million times, the horse has been well beaten. The ship sank before we set sail.. Yadira Yadda..

I mean, your pathetic pleas of 'If only someone listened!' will NOT bring her back. She's dead.

I go on Reddit: 'Amanda Todd 101' I go on YouTube.. Amanda Todd.. I go on here.. oMG BBG I WOULDVE LISTENED!!11'

First of all: Bystander Effect (Yes, I'll evoke this)

Second of all: No you wouldn't have! You cynical nitwits.

Again, you can have your sudden flow of common humanitiarism, and that's fine, and human, to jump aboard some feel good bandwagon. We are all a victim of that.

But please, get off your high horse and jump aboard an actual fad we can all get behind.

For example: If I te you now 'Whos Kony?' more than half will say 'Dunno.'

Likewise for this person. I don't know what it is with you people but you really need to stop being easily influenced by only one opinion.

I'll evoke this also, as it is a good life tool..

Broaden your horizons. There is a much better cause than backing some fictional suicide martyr.

Good golly.

Teen suicide/bullying has been an extreme issue in our society for quiet some time now and it's about time that some major publicity and attention is being drawn to it. Are people band wagoning, Yes they most certainly are, however they are for once getting their pitchforks and hopping aboard an actual legitimate and pressing issue that needs to be examined.

I can't understand nor comprehend why you think that individuals sympathizing with a suicide victim is a bad, caring that a young and mostly innocent girl has died because of the actions of her fellow peers seems almost perfectly rational considering almost everyone if not everyone has experienced bullying at some point in their lives. Even if many people are just supporting this because its the next "kony" it doesn't draw away from the fact that it's for a good cause.

In all honesty Amanda Todd when contrasted to other victims is no different in many ways. This publicity surrounding her is by no means bad no matter what way you look at it despite the fact that their have been many similar cases. Focus on the positive and realize that at least we can make some good out of what has happened to this young women rather than call everyone out on "band wagoning".

Of course she made mistakes, but I can ensure that almost every other girl given her same circumstances would of made the same if not worse judgments. try to examine someone elses situation from their perspective and not just your own, suffering is suffering no matter how it may compare and contrast to another individuals pain.

Perhaps you should broaden your own horizon and show some god damn compassion towards not only Amanda Todd but the millions of other victims being harassed on a daily basis.

TLDR: It's not about Amanda Todd as an individual victim, it's about sending a message (However showing sadness for her is by no means wrong in any way)

Nope. Perhaps it's the way family and close ones are affected?

Also on this whole topic. Pretty sad that people commit suicide all the time. I think we have in sweden a law against writing about suicides just not to encourage them. GG media, keep spreading murderers and suiciders.

Stop projecting, it only bothers you because you feel guilty when you see it about knowing you wouldn't do anything.

Yeah, because not talking about things makes them go away. If that law does exist and you think it helps, then whoever wrote that law is a blithering idiot.




I'm the kind of person that you can call any time of day or night. If I hear my phone I'll pick up (or at least call back if I don't). I will listen to your problems, I will try to help you. Hell, if you're a good friend call me during the week at 3am. I'll come drinking with you, if you just got your heart broken.

Nonetheless, this story is only mildly jimmy rustling. Yes, it's sad, but really a lot of sad things happen. If you want to make a difference, go help doctors without borders. You'll do a hell of a lot more good there.
But you're too fucking lazy, aren't you? Yeah, so am I. So I've decided I'd just try to keep my little tiny corner of the world safe. It's all I can and am willing to do.
I won't go crying because some chick 5000miles from me commited suicide, when there's thousands of children every day dying of starvation, disease and lack of water within the same radius. And these children did considerably less to deserve their fate than amanda todd did (No, I still don't think she did. I'm just showing you your hypocrisy)

ignoring this and telling people to work in another place where it doesnt bother you, is like ignoring problems our and every civilization got. From the beginning of humanity till presence.

Its not just that the "adult" world is a hostile environment, it simply means that society is hostile and everyone is just getting used to it and pretend thats okay instead of changing how people live together.

Those who cant adjust, give up. And those who did never acknowledge that fact, because they pretend their hostile and aggressive behaviour to be normal on everyone.

Killing yourself is never the answer to this, despite how bad this girl had it taking her own life was absolutely stupid, juvenile and selfish.
