Talk to me, superstar. What do you want?
i'm not sure as i've never heard that before. there would probably be an exception if that was the case.
and this only goes if the person it caught with the nudes, so if the receiver deletes them they're fine.
basically, the receiver gets charged for possession of child pornography. so if the nudes are deleted, they're fine.
edit: at least i THINK. again it varies by state what happens to both ends.

I have sympathy for the bullied and the depressed. I have sympathy for the friends and family of the dead.
I do not have sympathy for the dead.
If you have depression, please fight it! You can succeed in beating it, or at least fending it off. Do not kill yourself!! Suicide is for the weak! You're better than that! Believe that you deserve to live! Life is pretty awesome with the right people!

Honestly, I think her suicide got way more attention than it necessarily should have (especially on social media). I say this because she's not the only teenager to have been bullied to thee point of suicide, and I don't think anyone's suicide should be plastered all over social media like that. (It's disrespectful to the family, who might have had other wishes)
I have sympathy for the bullied and the upset, but I think that that's where the social craze should end.

Dude she killed herself. Wtf is wrong with you. She was bullied to the point she felt like she needed to do that..

If you have no sympathy for people who kill themselves, then you have no idea what it's like being that depressed, bullied and feeling hopeless. When you're in that mindset, people really do see no other way out.
Saying 'please fight it!' is not really going to help and is quite naive. It's easier said than done. I'm sure most depressed people have tried to or are trying to fight it.

Keep the wolves away
Say what now? I`d say ending your own life consciencely is about the strongest deed anyone can do... Do you have any idea how hard that is to do? It goes against every little bit of human nature.....
As someone who work(ed/s) in the field of mental healthcare, I can only hope you don`t know what you are talking about.
There is just so much wrong with what you say in the end...... You can deserve it, you can promise golden mountains, but everything is seen through the eyes of the beholder. Your golden mountains vaporize when seen through the eyes of a person scarred for life. If you can`t understand the huge differences between people, between their experiences in life, their personalities, their social circles, etc etc, you can never truly understand depression and how powerful it can be.
Its not something made up, its science, its biology, its psychology.

Sukuna my beloved
Ugh, the name brings a sour taste to my mouth...Well, not the name but the way people use it (or, used it.) The first time I learned about her was in a "stop bullying" program during gym. I was almost in tears by the time the instructor was done telling how she died/why she did it but many people were joking. Hell, at one point a group of three boys made a "Go Amanda Todd Yourself" t-shirts. They got sent home and had ISS for a day. It gave the major bully of mine something new to say and various "go drink bleach" sentences were coming from his mouth.
But, that's not my views on the matter. My views are it's a terrible thing. She killed herself because of bullying. No one tried to help, from what I've read. She could've accomplished so much, but now she can't because of the bullying. It makes me sick when this was on knowyourmeme and all the comments were "she deserved it." and "god, I'm glad she did it!" Like, no, please kindly rethink your life choices and thought process. "She deserved it"? Let's go ahead and bring up all the terrible stuff you do. She didn't deserve all the bullying. She made a poor decision, sure, but does that mean she deserved all the stuff that happened? She didn't deserve to die. She didn't deserve the bullying.

It was a horrible situation, I'm incredibly sad at the response to it (or lack thereof I guess) - and that no one was quick enough to help her. And it makes me physically ill that anyone would try to blame her for any of it. Period.
( 
Yeah, me too. I mean I got beaten up, stabbed, thrown in front of vehicles, left for dead and blamed by the teachers for everything that was happening to me... but thank god there was no cyber bullying!!!All I want to say is that stories like me make me happy that I was done with school before cyber bullying really became a thing. This is all just sad. Unacceptable.
Bullying has gone on for a very long time, and has had various negative results as an effect. Remember Columbine, Virginia Tech and various other school shootings? If you look at what the perpetrators had in common, it's that they were bullied. People have died over this by being killed, either by bullies or the bullied, or by committing suicide. It's going to keep happening as well.
As for Amanda Todd's decision, I can't blame her for it. When you learn that the school board and even law enforcement are unable or unwilling to help you, where can you go? That's how I felt and it threw me into a deep depression that I'm still trying to get out of. More than ten years later.

That's a little unfair. I never said that life pre-cyber bullying was all rosy! Of course bullying existed! But cyber bullying exists in addition to other more 'traditional' forms of bullying and the very nature of it makes it difficult to escape--quite literally. IIRC Amanda Todd's family moved to new cities trying to give their daughter a normal life but inormation on the Internet was easy for students to find, and then THEY started harassing her, etc. The Internet has given kids new ways to completely and utterly destroy people and it's all cloaked in anonymity.
I'm really sorry you had to go through that though. I was bullied also and had nothing that bad happened to me.

Good grief.
My schools has shown me her video she put on YouTube three times. First at my middle school in 7th and 8th grade, and then I saw it a few months ago at the high school I go to now.
When I first heard about it in 2013 I thought it was awful. I felt very sorry for her.
