I saw some posts up on facebook about her and I didn't pay much attention to it. But now I've seen her video. Now I've realised this wasn't just a simple bit of bullying.

I've never been so disgusted at how cruel kids can be. So cruel that they led an innocent young girl to suicide. I feel sick inside. Words can't really express how I feel about this.

Everyone should watch this video just to realise how bad this must of been for her. Such a waste of a beautiful young girl.

ETA: Video may get dust in your eyes.

Some of the comments there are really mean! RIP Amanda...

This is why we really need to monitor our kids online activities...

I found this video last night and made me feel very upset. RIP, I have been on the victim of bullying when I was in school but nothing she went through. Such a waste.

The video was posted 3/4 weeks ago how did nobdoy see it that could have helped her, a counceller, friends, family, it was obviously she was in a bad way, with the way of technolody somebody from the other side of the world could have contacted her and maybe helped her before she did it end it.

That's why there should be limits to what people do and if they can't set them themselves then, in extreme times, the law needs to intervene. Although no doubt someone will come along and state that it's an infringement on human rights and free speech.

I would personally sacrifice that type of thinking and a little bit of free speech, if that's what they call it, for a bit of decency and I'm no shrinking violet

The message is very simple people,

a) Don't behave like a tw@t, and

b) If you know someone who behaves like a tw@t, have the guts to stand up and tell them so.

It's the silence of people who should have spoken up which allows tw@ts to get away with it.

I do not accept that for one second. Self-esteem is repairable with respect and consideration from others.

Very, very sad. Her bravery in making that video should have been what saved her. I hope those responsible for her bullying suffer from their own guilt.
