I dont actually know what happened regarding the police
But its not that simple?
What are they going to do ? Arrest everyone who say a mean comment to her?
Track down everyone who posted something on her facebook? Follow her for the rest of her life?
She might as well leave the country, change her looks and everything if she wanted to escape. This is day of technology Its not that easy to "Delete yourself from the internet"
Regardless of the police helping you dont know anything about her or her feelings, She still could had killed herself if she was depressed enough even with the "Police help" saying if the police helped or not is like blaming them for her choice, A choice she made by herself. thats all ;-;
What about her parents? The police can't be blamed for every single thing that goes wrong.

1. Victim blaming. Nice. If someone flashes their boobies on the "interwebs" then they should expect to be bullied to the point of suicide.
2. Yes, it was stupid of her to do it, but maybe if her classmates weren't little ****s then she wouldn't have been bullied.
What Norsi said.
I don't get why her story became popular.

:D ♡
Because she was bullied to the point of suicide, and she uploaded a video of her story before she died
Hmm ok so if someone does something stupid like flash their boobs on the internet they deserve to be bullied to the point of committing suicide? Nice one. Good empathy there.

I explained the reasons why I thought the story was popular in a previous post.

Good point. She shoundt have flashed her boobies, but at the same time shouldn't have been bullied to suicide. It just shows you how cruel people can be. Thankfully, the police found the person who bullied her and he was arrested, but that isn't going to bring her back to life ;-;
Yea, I remember this story from a few years back. I had to read the article to remind myself of the details properly but it's an awful story to read through.
It essentially just shows how awful people on the internet can be and just how vile a person can act when they are behind that veil of anonymity the internet provides.
I mean, why continue to 'stalk' her like he did? Why continue to track her down and ruin her life? It's just disgusting.
The bullying from other people, sadly, is just what people do when they find information such as that and most of the time they don't have the sense to know enough is enough.
She made a few bad decisions. Revealing herself on the internet wasn't a wise choice in the first place but then again I can't begin to imagine why she did that in the first place. If I remember correctly, when she slept with 'that guy' she knew he had a girlfriend and shouldn't have done so but again, after all the bullying I can imagine she didn't rightly care and would have just appreciated the attention.
There's always two sides in these situations.
If anything, it was a VERY infamous event that was known about literally everywhere. This at least sent a wake up call to others that there is some real scum living on this planet and that we should make sure we try to stay safe, especially on the internet.
Or, yano...We could just round up the scumbags and euthanize them. Killing people isn't always a great option but c'mon, with these types of people in the gene pool, we could really do with giving it a good cleaning.
Whilst choosing to "flash your boobies" on the internet isn't exactly a wise thing to do, you don't exactly know the circumstances to why she did it either.
Apparently it took around a year for her to actually flash those things to this guy. I would assume he built a large degree of trust for her to do this which he obviously betrayed, or maybe that his constant attempts and asking eventually made her say "fine, whatever", the same way a lot of unwanted sex is initiated.
She also had low grades and a learning disability and as I'm the older brother of two younger siblings with low grades and a learning disability I can tell you right now, she was likely being bullied long before she "flashed her boobies". This event likely made it worse, yea, but it was probably already happening and she likely already had some 'personal issues' because of it.
So it goes without saying that if that is the case, she might have just done it to hear somebody say nice things to her for once, throw her a compliment and make her feel good for a while, regardless of whether it's the right or wrong way of getting such attention.
There's lots of possibilities to why she would have done it but at the end of the day, nobody should be bullied for doing anything, especially not to the point of suicide. Bullying is wrong no matter how you try to justify the reasons behind it.
Would you like it if you were constantly bullied for something stupid you did that you shouldn't have done? Probably not. If it ever does happen, or if in fact it already has happened, would you think it fair for it to be justified as "you shouldn't have been doing it in the first place"?
I got bullied for...I'm not sure why I got bullied actually, I was just the target of choice people chose. Is it my fault for having the audacity to live?
What you said is just totally ignorant and is likely the same excuse the bullies used to justify their actions towards her in the first place. I would throw an insult here, but I don't feel that there is a suitable one to describe what I think that also wouldn't land me with a ban, so I'll just leave an image of a man with a fantastic smile to lighten the mood of both the thread and the utter stupidity of your words.

I feel bad for her and any person like her who has been bullied in their life (which is most people). I can't personally relate to her as I was never really picked on in school, except for a few minor occasions but whatever.
Growing up as the first generation who really grew up with the Internet, we are definitely still learning about what should and shouldn't be posted online as well as what repercussions could come of what we do online. I think the girl made a few mistakes and it was really terrible that people bullied her and treated her like less than human for it.
I remember when it happened, the whole Internet started saying that they were glad she killed herself and drank bleach and all that stuff. It's rather horrifying how horrible humans can be.
I honestly feel sorry for the girl and all of the other people like her who's stories never received attention. But sometimes, it takes one story getting attention for the real issue to come to light and for people to start understanding the horrible consequences that can come from cyberbullying first and foremost, but also reminds people to be careful what they post and don't post. (Although, I don't blame Amanda for anything she did; as she was young and we've all made mistakes).
RIP.

i don't understand why she became so popular
look at all of the suicides
hers was the same as %99.99 of them honestly, there was a kid the other day that my nan knew that was cyberbullied and killed herself. its nothing special. it was her fault for showing her boobs, but not her fault for being bullied. she was under 18 ( i think ) so thats child pornography. the people who were posting it needed to be arrested. they were. end of case. i don't feel like talking about a suicide, so could you maybe put trigger warning ; suicide in the description? my inner tumblr came out and realized this is triggering.

The thread title is Amanda Todd. What did you expect it to be about? Knitting?
This was quite a while ago and it's still considered a very depressing tradegy. Personally, *sorry to say* but people who think they can stop cyber bullying and bullying in general are a bit stupid. Teasing and such will never stop and although the results may not be as be as Amanda's case, there still will be bullies.
Also why the video? If you are going to die let it be, don't make a huge deal about it.
*That's me, to scared to watch the video

I started sobbing in class when we were shown the video 
People have a lot of problems and take it out on innocent people. It makes me wonder how the bullies feel after they hear this because they caused it. It's quite sad how people can be.

She wanted people to know how she felt before everything and she asked for help but nothing came up for her so...

Talk to me, superstar. What do you want?
In my opinion, everyone involved in that were dumb. She was dumb to flash herself like that especially being underage but everyone else was dumb to treat her like that. I get that she was depressed and of course it isn't her fault they got spread but had she not spread them in the first place, she would be fine. Of course she probably wasn't expecting them to be shown to everyone but she should have had that precaution in mind.
Multiple people bullied her though?.-.
