Bullied Teen Leaves Behind Chilling YouTube Video

A teenager posted a heartbreaking video on YouTube chronicling years of bullying in school and online, cutting and humiliation up until she died this week.


Amanda Todd, 15, posted the video called "My story: Struggling, bullying, suicide, self harm" on Sept. 7 and was found dead in her home town of Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, just over a month later.


"Hello, I've decided to tell you about my never ending story," the black and white video begins. Todd can only be seen from her nose down for most of the video, occasionally moving around so that her face is visible. She silently tells her story through a series of white cards with black marker writing on them.


She describes using webcam chats to meet and talk to new people online as a seventh grade student. She said that people told her she was "stunning, beautiful, perfect" and a man pressured her to flash her chest. One year later, she did.


Todd received a Facebook message from a man she did not know saying that if she did not "put on a show" for him, he would send the photo of her chest to everyone. Over Christmas break, Todd said police came to her house at 4 a.m. to tell her that the photo had been sent to everyone.


"I then got really sick and got anxiety, major depression and panic disorders," she wrote. "I then moved and got into drugs and alcohol."


A year after moving, Todd said things were going better until the man on Facebook came back and used the photo of her chest as his profile picture. Todd said she "cried every night, lost all my friends and respect people had for me again."


"I can never get that photo back," she wrote. "It's out there forever."


She described being called names, eating lunch alone and resorting to cutting herself. She also told the story of an incident where she made a "huge mistake" and "hooked up" with a boy at her school who had a girlfriend, but who she believed really liked her.


A week later, she said she received a text message telling her to get out of school and then a group of students, led by the boy's girlfriend, surrounded her at school and said, "Look around, nobody likes you."


"A guy then yelled, 'Just punch her already,' so [the girlfriend] did," Todd wrote. "She threw me to the ground and punched me several times. Kids filmed it. I was all alone and left on the ground."


Todd said she "wanted to die so bad" when her dad found her in a ditch. She drank bleach when she went home and had to be rushed to the hospital to have her stomach pumped, she said.


"After I got home, all I saw was on Facebook--'She deserved it. Did you wash the mud out of your hair? I hope she's dead,'" she wrote.


Todd moved to another school in another city, but said the torture followed her through Facebook. Students posted photos of ditches and suggested she try another bleach.


"Every day, I think, why am I still here?" she asked towards the end of the video. "I'm stuck. What's left of me now? Nothing stops. I have nobody. I need someone. My name is Amanda Todd."


Authorities were called to a residence in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, just before 6 p.m. on Oct. 10 to investigate the sudden death of the tormented teenager.


While authorities have not officially called the death a suicide, Cpl. Jamie Chung of the Coquitlam Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in a statement, "At this time it has been determined that the teen's death was not suspicious in nature and that foul play was not a factor."


The coroner is investigating the death, police said.

Fucking douchebags, she actually looked decent and sad that she is gone because of this.the people who did it should be charged with some type of crime because it is their fault.

Tbh Sounds like another one of those fake videos with people going for views and likes.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was real, shit like this happens everyday, Sorry but if your flashing your self on the internet Its not a surprise it got spreaded ffs.

I just read an article about her. It's so sad that she suicide was the right option, she was so young.
I can't believe how mean people can be, if only people were aware of how much bullying can impact someone's life.

Amanda, you will be miss.

Suicide should never be anyone's option...so sad ;(

God I can't stand those note card suicide videos. The reality is, everyone gets bullied from time to time. Get over it. You choose how upset to be over it. Especially when you do something as dumb as flash on the internet. I'm not saying I endorse bullies or like them, but they will always be around. That's the reality of it. Survival of the fittest. Suicide is for the weak.

Not to mention she kept using Facebook :dumb: People make mistakes. This girl should have acknowledged her's, dealt with the harassment for a few months, and gotten over it. Keeping a Facebook and doing stuff for attention will ignite the bullies more, especially when there's an emotional hatred.

I'm against bullies, but even more against suicide. Look at some of the most successful people in the world. Oprah, Jay Z, etc. They had it rough too, Instead of giving up, they worked through it.

EDIT:
Nevermind what i said.
I realized what i was looking for. I feel so sorry for her now....

I hope this isn't true but I'm also in severe doubts. How does someone die and over a month later found in her house. If she went to school, the house would have been getting notices and stuff. So someone would have been sent to the house.

All those bullshit hate notes you guys put are ignorant. Notice how she was in 7th grade when she flashed the guy, she didn't know any better, she was 12. And the guy didn't come back till she was in high school, and he kept comI back. And when people are telling you to go kill yourself when you're depressed, have no friends, no one loves you, I'm pretty sure anyone would end their life to. You guys don't know what it feels like, quit being so arrogant.
