Introduction
I. On September 07, 2012 Amanda Todd uploaded a video to her YouTube account. She tells us about how a few years prior she had been video chatting with someone that she had met online and how she was flatter by him. This man asked her to flash him on camera and she did. The man then took it upon himself to take a picture of Amanda flashing him, he then started stocking her on the internet and asking her to do it again but Amanda refused so he decided to send the picture to all of her friends on Facebook. Amanda had to move schools after that. Once at her new school she began talking to an old guy friend who later invited her to his house where they were intimate together. The following week everyone knew about it and the guy’s girlfriend and many of her friends confronted her about it. Amanda’s father later found her lying in a ditch beat up. Amanda attempted suicide after that by drinking Clorox but it didn’t work. Once word got out about the attempted suicide, things just got worse. People started posting cruel comments on her Facebook page, Amanda couldn’t take the bullying anymore and ended her life on October 10th of 2012.
