Usually when you are about to kill yourself you don't speak about it, except in messages that are usually discovered after it's done. And people can be very good at hiding it and pretending everything is fine on the outside.
It's not beaucse you are wealthy that you are happy ( see heiress of Samsung)


Yes I know most teenagers want to hide these things from their parents. But what Amanda said (wrote on the cards) in that video was that she had problems for several years. She was harassed on facebook. I think that responsible parents should check their children's facebook. She also said that she lost her friends, couldn't go outside, was depressed etc. Was she that good in hiding all this from her parents? Or they didn't give a shit?

did you guys not watch the video? Her parents knew and where actively seeking help. She was seeing therapists and getting counselling. I mean shit her dad found her just lying in a ditch depressed after she was beaten up by that girl and she later tried to drink bleach.
Also " As a teacher in the Coquitlam school district and a specialist in assistive technologies, Carol is comfortable around computers and knows well the dangers the online world can hold. Still, she wasn't able to protect her child." Thats a news article describing her mother.

I obviously think the parents could have done more , but usually suicides come as a huge surprise it seems like amanda's pattern was that she tried to commit suicide before when the worst things where happening to her, but her succesful attempt seems like it was planned long in advance. Ive heard of people having this sort of blissfulness after planning their suicide and just waiting for the day, and then it ends up coming as a huge surprise to the people around them when they do it saying things like "she seemed like she was doing better, etc". Im not sure if that was the case here but im sure she would have been kept under close watch if she was thought to be imminently suicidal.

As for this kody pervert, regardless if he was the main perpetrator in amanda todds suicide i hope they catch him, as at the very least he was distributing child porn of this girl and bragging about exploiting and blackmailing young girls on a message board, and at worst he was the main cause of her suicide and years of torment. Regardless they should lock him up and throw away the key.

for the record i liked amanda todd, and i think her suicide was beautiful. but this witch hunt is retarded.


Are you for real? 30-year old men hunting down the name/address/phone #/school of 13-year old girls and threatening them is a normal thing, and the police shouldn't get involved with it? He's just like 75% of people on the internet? How fucking stupid can you be?


it happens literally every day... and the police have the capacity to stop it, yet they don't.. there are so many incidences of this that i can hardly count all of them


"Targeted stalking and sexual exploitation of minors is commonplace, therefore we shouldn't punish those who do it." Classic reasoning right there. Also, how do you have a pen next to your name with atrocious spelling and sentence structure like that?


oh gosh the ad hominems are really starting to break me down, stop bullying me or i'll get annonomous to hunt you and post contact info! i'm saying it's hypocritical for the internet to want to kill this one guy when there are many others that they could care less about, a lot of sites embrace pedophiles and creepers like this guy.. not everywhere is as well moderated as team liquid


If Anonymous (that's how it's spelled btw) released the contact details of any known pedophile/stalker, he would face similar repercussions. There are many similar well-publicized cases of vigilante justice being carried out. It's idiotic to say that we should give this guy a break just because so many people get away with horrible things.


yeah, i mean fuck kony right. that guy sucks. i really care about uganda, save the ugandans! ring a bell? so this guy dies because anonomous kills him, what happens then? absolutely nothing, the internet goes back to the way it was before. yay viligantes, they're sooo super duper effective.


And there will be one less lunatic to exploit teen girls. How is this a bad thing? I am trying to understand what would cause you to come out on a forum like this and defend such a person, saying that you think he shouldn't be punished. I guess you're just trolling?

He's not saying that we shouldn't punish the guy stop being so emotional.


What he is saying is that it pathetic how everyone gets a hard on for something like this and then they persecute the guy but nothing ever changes. The police are way too slow at stopping the people doing this and people don't care until an attractive white girl dies and then every one jumps on the bandwagon for 15 minutes and forgets about it next week.

Look at Kony there was a huge surge in people caring about the issues in Africa and a week later everyone was back to not giving a fuck.

I don't have a clue what he meant by her suicide was beautiful though o.o

Wow, this is a sad story. Bullying is tremendous issue in american culture, but fortunately it is less common in other parts of the world. Still, people have to understand that you can move on, life continues, and suicide is never an option.

I love the rise against song, but I think that it is specifically written towards children bullied for being gay

Oh fucking Christ. Another one of these nonsense "you're all hypocritical" spouters. If you're honestly insinuating that acts of 30 year old men preying on 15 year old teenage girls, blackmailing, stalking, bullying, and threatening them over extended periods of time is commonplace, then you're either delusional or the public to this point has been unaware of such. And if the public has been unaware of how commonplace this is, then this is why there's a public outcry in the first place.

Same as 75% of the people who spend any time on the Internet? You're fucking insane. You're honestly saying 75% of the fucking Internet base blackmail random people, distribute child pornography, contact the victims friends and families, and constantly engage in stalking and cyberbullying? How the hell are you even a writer for TL.net? You can't even spell Anonymous.

My posts in general obviously don't reflect the ideals of TL's staff members nor do I attempt to try to give the illusion that they do. Say what you will about my beliefs regarding the status of 75% of the internet, but please refrain from logical fallacies in the form of attacking my spelling or grammar. Pardon me for spelling "anonymous" incorrectly, it's a viligante organization that I don't frequent and I thought they spelled their name like that to be edgy. If you don't agree with me than that's fine, but personally attacking me for it isn't conducive to productive discussion on the matter.

But this was in Canada....Bullying is not so much of a problem when i went to high school 3 years ago. I did see people get bullied its not like it doesn't happen but i am inclined to believe it also happens in Europe. Americans get the rap because of the "American Football Player Jock". But i think that was more of the late 1980's and early 90's.

Bullying was taken very seriously where i went to high school and people would get suspensions and sometimes police interventions.

Those aren't logical fallacies. Yes they are attacks, no they aren't logical fallacies. Wholly irrelevant. And yes the attacks were intentional, I think you're insanely delusional if you believe 75% of Internet users are in the market of stalking, blackmailing, threatening, distributing child porn, and going to lengths to even contact family members. Completely intentional, solely do the extremity of your assumptions. If you picked a less exaggerated number, like say 5%, it might not have warranted such a response. But your claims are simply wrong.

I can't imagine why there would be as much coverage for soldiers dying for their countries, but I'd be open to hear it... .

So sad

A national child exploitation group, cybertip.ca, says it received a tip almost a year ago about Todd.

A concerned citizen contacted the organization last November to report that images of Todd were being circulated online, said spokeswoman Signy Arnason.

"We did receive one report, and that was passed along to law enforcement as well as child welfare," Arnason said Monday. "It was not a report from her, but it was a report from a concerned citizen."


Is what annoys me the most, i know lots of bullying is happening around the world ALL THE TIME, but when organisations which are there to PROTECT THE VICTIMS from their attacks and attackers are failing after a year of being informed, it is just beyond a joke.

One person started this, the original man who sexually exploited her, yet the police never looked to get involved that way? Why not? Is there some law on not being able to chase people like this, who just bully on the internet? Did they think the guy was only a young teen himself?

First thing i thought any law enforcement authoritie would try to do, is trace it back to the original poster of the pictures and facebook page, but it does not even look like this was attempted until after she had finally killed herself.

I blame Child Welfare and the Authorities for another bully victim dieing.

So sad

Interesting they didn't mention 4chan at all.

If I'm not mistaken, I recall others saying their was a thread involving said girl the other day.

Though it could have just been them discussing the video I suppose.


The thread was commenting on how they found it ridiculous this girl gets so much news coverage when soldiers dying for their countries don't.


I can't imagine why there would be as much coverage for soldiers dying for their countries, but I'd be open to hear it... .


Obviously from a media point of view, this little girl will have higher ratings than reporting another death at war.
Here in England a soldier's death is a much larger deal (less deaths than America) so they tend to get more coverage.
I'm not criticising the media for their choices because I'm sure I would make the same ones however it does seem sad that some deaths seem more important than others.

(Oh and by the way, suicide is never the answer to bullying, ever.)

It is human nature to feel superior over others.
This trait has led to the worst episodes in human history, but it also casts a shadow in each of our personal lifes.
Everyone of us has bullied someone somwhere to some degree if you think back, or you stood by while someone was bullied, even thou you might have stood up against some bully helping the victim you will remember times where you were the perpetraiter or stood by doing nothing.
It is this trait that we have to combat and we have to stay vigilant about it.
We think to be superiour then groups of people or single people.
It seems to be a drive, a need in human nature to acquire some sense of superiority even if it means to make someone inferior. Humans want power and they want control and if they dont get it they abuse someone to get power over him/her.
The victims are dehumanised no one thinks about their feelings, they are just a let out for their needs of control and power.
The shame and vunerability of others give us power and we humans exploit that and even when something like this happens we begin to search for answers at the victims, why didnt the victim call for help ? Was the victim so weak ?
The true fault is a part of human nature and over failure to control or supress it.

You'd better train him in words and understanding and the most important thing, saying NO to peer pressure.

it's just a different form of slander, and the end result was a suicide. except it wasn't even slander because it was a picture of her boobs/vag that she provided (in video form!)... you guys have no idea how good these girls are at destroying eachother, it's an art. this guy was a philistine, he had no idea how to bully someone. and you want to arrest him? give me a break, double standards much.

for the record i liked amanda todd, and i think her suicide was beautiful. but this witch hunt is retarded.


Oh fucking Christ. Another one of these nonsense "you're all hypocritical" spouters. If you're honestly insinuating that acts of 30 year old men preying on 15 year old teenage girls, blackmailing, stalking, bullying, and threatening them over extended periods of time is commonplace, then you're either delusional or the public to this point has been unaware of such. And if the public has been unaware of how commonplace this is, then this is why there's a public outcry in the first place.

Same as 75% of the people who spend any time on the Internet? You're fucking insane. You're honestly saying 75% of the fucking Internet base blackmail random people, distribute child pornography, contact the victims friends and families, and constantly engage in stalking and cyberbullying? How the hell are you even a writer for TL.net? You can't even spell Anonymous.

Agree 100%. That is one of your writers TL? Really?

Sorry, but I really have to say that this style of writing is not what I expect from the normally high quality posts of TL staff or writers. Although the girl might not have acted in the most intelligent way blaming soley her and saying it is hippocritical to uphold this case because this is happening often is not the right thing todo.
Just because some bad things are happening often does not mean that one cant do anything about them or spread awareness.
I also really dont get what you mean by calling her suicide beautifull ? It is a tragedy not something beautifull.

And if you as a writer had a report button I would have hit it, I searched for it but unfortunatly there wasn't one.
I am really disappointed by this post, it casts a shadow on the high standards of team liquid writers, staff and the community. I myself got warned and banned for things where I deserved it, I hope someone else will intervene.
