If you use tumblr a significant amount of time, you would know that people make those silent videos with note cards. Some of the silent videos end up having a crazy twist at the end, some are just serious & sad. Well, on Wednesday night, a canadian girl was found dead just weeks after posting a video about her constant battle with cyber bullies. Unfortunately, she committed suicide. Find out the full story and watch her video after the jump.
Amanda Todd’s video was 9 minutes. NINE. She had just posted this video on September 7, 2012. This should’ve been a warning to her peers that she was hurting inside. Unfortunately, no one took her pleas seriously. When you watch the video – you’ll see, she admitted that she had tried to kill herself previously. She tried killing herself TWO times already before this incident.
The Vancouver Sun reports that Amanda was a student in Grade 10 at the Coquitlam Basic Alternative Education school.
The principal of the school confirmed her death and said that she had been dealing with issues since the middle of last year. ‘It is a very sad case,’ Paul McNaughton told the paper.
Although Paul does claim that they tried to do everything to help her, ‘I can tell you we feel we tried everything we could to help her when she came to us.’
Amanda admits that they started bullying her she bought a webcam and she flashed her breasts to friends she had met online. The picture of her breasts spread throughout the whole web, causing more bulling to begin.
Daily Mail says, after moving to a different city and school, another instance of bullying occurred after she started a romantic relationship with an older man who had a girlfriend. Once that relationship soured, she was confronted and beaten up by the man’s girlfriend. She was hit in front of a crowd of screaming people who encouraged her to be left in a ditch.
Ridiculous.
In the video, she doesn’t reveal herself till the last card when she states her name. In the video, she shows her arm which has been cut and abused repeatedly.
