    You block those people, you report those people, you get their friends to hear you out... you can do many things. Lastly, cancel your accounts where they're harrassing you. Ignore them. :eek:

    I'm wondering where her parents were in all this. The story insinuates that she comes from a divorced family and got moved between parents when things got out of hand at one school.

    If the parents knew she was going through all this cyberbullying online with the nude pictures, the chatrooms with pervs and blackmailing, etc., why did they not restrict her online access even more? Or at least monitor what she was doing?

    My parents kept all the computers in one room so that they could watch us. They had the ability to cut off the Internet on the network. And they were constantly nagging about strangers on the Internet. It seems as if the parents neglected to take care of her throughout all these problems.

    Many a prostitute may have a similar story.
    If this lead her to that path and then she died the exact same way at 19
    Most would not give a damn.

    Just like they dont give a damn about the live damaged people.
    She didnt deserve this
    Do the living damaged people deserve it?
    Do you give a damn about them?

    We rarely get what is deserved

    Are you serious? You're comparing this poor girl to a prostitute? :confused:

    I don't think you really understood what he was saying...

    We pity this young girl because she decided to end her life rather quickly...But what he said is that there are young teens just like her...that grow up to be women that lose all self respect for themselves...and may turn to things like prostitution....and if they succumb to death...they go unnoticed...

    I understood what he said. Those women who choose to be prostitutes aren't even CLOSE to what this girl went through. :eek:

    Its easy to fight it. Shut off the computer.

    It seems you have never dealt with a bully in person. Kids typically don't get a choice on where to live or where they go to school. When they are berated day in and day out, then I feel really bad for that person when they can't escape it. I will reassure you these people only wish shutting off an electronic device was that easy of a solution for them.

    Lol i went to Sam Houston back in 95 before the uniforms and clear backpacks and **** like that, I had my fair share of dealings with bullies and more. You're right kids don't have a choice, i didnt wanna be there, it was bad but i didnt have a choice, i made the most of it and stood ground when it needed to be stood but its different cz there there was an enemy with a face i could fight, its not like she could walk up to the internet and fight it you know.

    Even if she had shut off the computer would that have stopped this guy from stalking and finding her and spreading her picture on the internet and to her family.

    If you're not on the internet, how can you get cyber bullied?

    It then becomes an in real life thing. And you can handle it the same way people have been handling real bullying since the dawn of mankind...

    We're supposed to feel bad for this slut? Why don't we feel bad for people that get raped and killed? Molested? This girl was a slut and made her own decisions that ultimately led up to her SUICIDE. I don't feel bad about it.

    Is better cyber bullying the response to cyber bullying? Could the parents have hired some computer expert to take a cyber dump on this guys life? Curiosity question?

    How do you know?

    That is the very assumption that is do cruel.
    Yet, we disparage the folx that say old girl died because she "chose" her fate as will.
    Why do you pity one choice
    But
    Seem have disdain for the other?

    Both are choices made by damaged individuals that felt they had no other choices.

    I'm not saying i don't. Our society focuses on stories like the amanda todd one instead of people that actually had a sad story.

    The girl caused her own problems and continued to do the same things that caused them over and over again. I've known girls like this and they always blame other people for their problems. She didn't send pics of her t*** once like she claims, she sent the pics about 10 times to thousands of people and was on a livestream. If she did it once and learned I'd feel bad for her but she did it time and time again. It's sad that she felt the need to commit suicide but the things that led up to it were her own fault.
