A youtube video showed the pain that Amanda Todd, a Vancouver-area teenager went through in her life.She posted her problems through a YouTube video last month about being cyber-bullied and was found dead in Coquitlam, Canada . Authorities confirmed this looked like a case of suicide.
The YouTube video Amanda has posted tells about how she really got affected through the bullying and how it negatively took over her life she begins, her video saying, she used to go with friends on webcam meet and talk to new people.A stranger at one point flattered her into flashing for the camera.
A year passed and then she was contacted by a man on Facebook who threatened to circulate the picture of her topless "if she doesn't put on a show for him."The Stranger apparently knew everything about her including address, school, friends, relatives, and the names of her family members.As the time went by, her naked photo had been forwarded to everyone.
Amanda had Anxiety Disorders,depression and at one stage she also stated she never went out all summer.She also moved schools but the man then created her Facebook profile using her uncensored photo as his profile picture.Towards the end of the video she said she cried every night ,Lost all the friends and respect and ended the video by saying no one liked her.
Bullying has been a big problem in the society.There have been so many workshops held for this but there are cases such as this that come across time and again.This has to stop now.We need to hold each others hand and move forward into this world rather then trying to be aggressive and dominant.Its easy to show your power/popularity by bullying others but when you are on the receiving end you know how much it hurts.So lets join together and stop this as this is something that one person cannot do and will require a collective effort.Lets stand against Bullying and lets make this world a beautiful place to live for everyone!
