Cyber-bullying drives teenage girl to suicide

[Slim]

Different levels of bullies. They don't always have to be the biggest or most physically imposing. They just gotta be smart with what they do and how they do it. Pick and choose and you could do it just right.

The whole "who cares, there are worse things going on in the world" line is so ridiculous. I'm sure someone could have said the same thing on 9/11. That's not the point though.

Besides, even if the girl was a bully herself, you know... I'm just taking a quick look at this chick and she doesn't really seem like someone who could physically intimidate anyone. I really don't see how she could be pegged a "bully". It's more likely most of those kids were just upset she wouldn't sleep with them. When I think of someone who's a "bully", usually it's someone who is physically-abusive, not just someone with a bad attitude. That's what pussy internet bullies do.

I never said that it wasn't sad that she died, because it was. No one should be driven to suicide by bullying. But the fact is 100s of people commit suicide a day, yet all we hear about is this one girl? Why can't we hear about other people commiting suicide? I guarantee that if it was some fat 30 year old dude commiting suicide due to work place bullying, no one would give a shit.

Oh and another thing, people acting like they actually know her pisses me off as well. Seen plenty of posts on her R.I.P page saying shit like "you were an inspiration to me, I felt so close to you" - comment from someone 1000 miles away from where Todd lived. "You were a nice girl, you didn't deserve this" - comment from someone in Australia.... How do these people KNOW she was nice? All we have heard is her side of the story from that video, but for all we no she could of been a nasty kid. So why are people acting like it's the end of the world and as if they know her? A simple Rest in Peace comment would do. Also people think this whole situation is going to stop internet bullies and trolls? Well the amount of drink bleach comments on her rip wall prove otherwise.

In short, I'm sick of this Amanda Todd bandwagon, sure it was sad, but it happened over a week ago and I'm sure the majority of people didn't know her and can move on.... Adalia Rose, Joseph Kony, Trayvon Martin, James Holmes... what next?
