Actually swoly What she went through isnt CLOSE TO WHAT ALOT OF PROSTITUTES WENT THROUGH. Did i miss the part abouT molestation? Meth? Crack? Rape? Maybe thr prostitutes real sin is living with their pain Rather than killing themselves young. Rocket River Maybe you were being sarcastic and i missed it but ... What she went through was bad but.. Come on... There is worse out there.
If they'd taken away her internet privileges, stuck her in a mental ward, forced her to stay at the same school and learn to cope; or if she'd done drugs or gotten pregnant, she'd probably still be alive.
Reputation has gone overblown in epic proportion in this day in age and that's sad... Back in my day Reputation was overrated and once you're done with High School , people don't give a damn anymore, most people moved with their lives... At 15 she shouldn't be on the internet in the first place/ play some sports or something/ go outside....
Definately While tragic . .this is not the worse thing to happen to human kind We like to lionize the dead . . . because they can no longer disappoint you . We will prop this girl up as the the poster person against bullying . . . because now . .. she is safe If they found a girl who went through the same thing and was alive. . you make her the poster girl . . .ten months later she is caught bullying or sex tape or something like tat Which is why . . . all the kids out there going through this they not a priority for alot of people oooooo-ing and aaawwww-ing about this video there are kids in their neighborhood going through the same thing and they really don't give a d*mn or not enough of one to do anything about it .. . . . So they can now goto www.THEPEOPLEOFWALMART.com and laugh at them or laugh at some chick getting upper cut by a bus drive or the latest craze of people 'getting what they deserve' . . . Rocket River
What pisses me off the most about the people who claim it was her fault, no it was NOT, yes she chose some provocative things to do, but she was FAR TOO YOUNG, and NAIVE....BC culture is totally different than ours anyways, I agree parents should have been involved more, espesh after the "attempted suicide", and "cutting", whether it be the DOCS. fault, or the Parents, she must have been looked after very HARD at that point, in the US that is a 5150- but look no matter where you live a 15 year old or a teen's brain is not MATURE enough it has not GROWN enough to completely grasp the society that one was born in. -As well suicides by teens are RARELY produced in the news, or for that matter national news because for the exact reasons as stated above, their brains have not matured, thus the rate of suicides in teens is astronomically higher, I think I read some where it is like 500-600% higher-so for this Canada story to come out all over North America, and even has spawned over to Europe...the story is tragic...and "Anonymous" was right to get involved in this, they aren't going to do anything, man they gave some of the wrong info.,but hey it sends a message to those that comment, and leave SLANDER, or the person....WHO POSTED THE AUTOPSY PHOTOS!! like WTF!? Let her RIP-she is dead, and she decided that taking her life was the easy way out...I have known 2 people in my life that were extremely close to me, at one time in my life, or another, and they decided to take their lives as well, they were older, more mature, and their brain was "matured", but I never saw it coming, NEVER, and to me a friend might be able to see more, even than, a parent...I never saw the signs, then again I wasn't "there" so to speak when it happened, wasn't in the city, or the state, at these times, it was hard enough to know what happened to an older, yet still "naive" soul-because no1 needs to take their own life... --it's sad man...and the comments unlike the one I'm replying to, some of them, y'all seem like you have worse problems than the late Ms. Todd-the hatred, the negative talk that y'all talk about, at least she had some compassion, and love for the world, after all, when she was in that ditch she speaks of, and then came home to find all the comments after she drank the bleach that she didn't die, or the ones that said she drank the wrong bleach, you guys are the one's she was talking about on her notecards, the people that want HATE to show up behind the curtain "the internet"-bet you wouldn't have the balls to say that to her if she was still alive, or how bout when you get to the "Pearly Gates" you mention how Ms. Todd should have "sat in the bleachers", or whatever these stupid comments include, "she made her bed she should lie in it too"- first I can't believe y'all haven't been banned...because there have been banns over far "dumber things" by the BBS...also keep your walls up, and keep writing hate, sounds like the hatred people need to check themselves, and maybe learn from the late Ms. Todd-because she at least saw the world with some compassion, even with all the hate the surrounded her. I look at her as a martyr for the "Hyper-sensitive" society that this place has become, no fault on her...She was stalked, prayed on, who cares what she was doing chatting, back in the day we had only "Chat Rooms"-well guess what the internet has grown, and those same chat rooms, prob. some of these "HATERS" went to when they were young, or maybe they were still in first grade, but the internet has evolved, and the chat rooms you ask for A/S/L (Age, Sex, Location)-has now evolved to cameras and chat rooms that you actually see the person. The irony really is that she, and these generations of young folk, see the internet as real, without the "curtain"-and for the late Ms. Todd the irony is not only was it her place to vent, but it was also her own prison. Too all the haters not just in here, in this thread, but everywhere that have posted comments on any of her stuff negative I an old saying is if ya don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all, Pric%s!!
We all do questionable things, even as we get older :um clear throats um: so I can't judge the mistakes she made as a TEENAGER. Though, It does seem like she really enjoyed the internetz. Maybe she never ignored social media because it was her way to express herself. who knows but the video posted is eerie with a flare for the dramatic. I would have personally gone with tears for fears' mad world as my backdrop music...the gary jules version is lame. And those idiots from her school should all be suspended/failed at least, very cruel and heartless of them.
You obviously have not noticed that kids think the internet is real, kind of like we think....CLUTCHFANS IS SO REAL, and Players have to read this, and GMs get all their info. from us....C'mon man she was 15 of course she was naive, and didn't understand this...We as people who didn't "grow up" with a Facebook, or Myspace, (I was in college before any of these came out, and my second year in college both were running well)- but flash forward almost a decade, these kids can be however old, they don't need the "College E-mail anymore", so now you have kids, that think that Facebook is real, and they're lives revolve around how many friends they have on FB, real, or, not....I see this with the younger high school age kids. I have some educational experience, I am not a teacher, but I do deal with schools sometimes, and students, and I see bullying, but the internet is where the bullying becomes, well it isn't said to your face, it is put up for anyone and everyone to see, she could delete the account etc, she did move, she did a lot...but yea she was NAIVE, let's just accept the fact....A lot of guys, and girls did way worse things that maybe "they" weren't made fun of for, or it didn't last long, and they got over it, tons of variables, but how she was stalked, and slandered online, basically extorted...She just didn't understand bc of her young mind, that a few months, a delete of the Facebook for a while, etc etc. etc.....maybe she could have, but she didn't these kids see the internet like some see this BBS-it is real?!-but we are hiding behind screen names, and such, and to add the late Ms. Todd was being made fun of by far more people than you could imagine, she couldn't block everything, yes deleting the account, and ignoring it would have been smart, just sad...Seems like she was a cheerleader, pretty girl, and had a little ambition before all the sadness got to her, she was just too young to understand a little time, and it would blow over, even if it took her till finishing high school, but her brain could only comprehend the "now"-If you understand the human brain, and the growth of it compared to an adult, things like this would make sense, many teens, adolescents commit suicide over something maybe "naive", or "not smart", but it happens, yet people want to pick on this one particular bullying, and suicide, and make jokes....If she were a dude in high school she'd have got praise for the "provocative nature" some say she "had", I think it was a young girl doing what A TON OF YOUNG GIRLS DO....Hate to say it, if you have a kid watch what they are doing....I have a niece about to be a teen, and that's my "baby", and I see her she's been so smart with computers since she was young, maybe I look at the late Ms. Todd, and relate to what I've seen, and what I have in my life, but I wouldn't wish the bullying that some of these kids, "hypersensitive" or not, wouldn't wish that on anyone....And yes bullying has existed forever...the internet though makes people that don't even know her, able to pick on her, "release her autopsy nude photos", etc. , etc. It's disgusting look into your own third eye people with the hatred comments, and introspect yourself, maybe you have some deep underlying hate that needs to be examined by oneself...and I don't mean just you, or necessarily you in this reply, I'm speaking to all those that think "she made her bed, so lie in it" ya ok
ummm...ya she liked it along with all of the nation who has access, and she's a young kid, apparently all those people commenting on her stuff must have "loved the internetz" so whatever man, who cares, yes that is what is happening these days, have you not noticed, I don't know how old you are, but when I was that age I played sports probably about 5 hours a day including school, my life consisted of sports, football, basketball, golf, track, but...over the years the internet has been where kids do things, that is also why it is a "bad" thing at times for these "naive" children...but that's the way it is now the internet is huge now, and these kids love the "internetz"
But I do like the MAD WORLD, but it was already done last christmas from a kid that did the same thing with note cards, cept he died of some illness he had had....watch his video....forgot his name, but it was last december... And yes you are right we all cough cough have done something wrong, or made mental mistakes young...I wasn't trying to pick on you and your comment above, but just reiterating to those that don't get the younger generation, the are ALL ON THE INTERNET, they aren't like us, when we got to play outside, play sports all the time, or whatever it was...
above that is only part one...I liked the music she did....Mad World she wanted her own, Ben started this idea of the notecard story...That's where she got the sadness of the youtube video from...But yes there is i think 3 parts to Ben's thing....VERY DEEP, MOVING, and Sad, a kid that did not commit suicide, or was not bullied..
also dunno why the link just ends up like that, I tried embedding it..but maybe i messed up...You can google Ben Breelove This is my story-Mad World, some people have changed his music, but he did Mad World, and that is how you can find it, if you don't want to click on my link for Ben...don't know if you knew about that guy, or not just thought it was ironic that the only other "Notecard Youtube Video of Death circumstances" was in fact played with MAD WORLD by Jules, and Ben did it first, the notecard motif was his idea to spread the story of faith, and the afterlife...
That's why it's important to preach family at a very young age to these kids, they already want their own independence/ screw that ****.. When I mean family I don't mean mom/dad/brothers/sisters... I'm talking bout cousins/lots of them/close friends/uncle/nieces/neighborhood friends, keep em close if they are loving.. If your friends ain't got your back from incidence like this it's good to have family around and step up... I was curious to know about her family, they had know idea any of this stuff was going on, really???? Gotta watch out for each other young blood... <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/zDG7ZWvF-sg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Whats this? Another sad story ruined by cold and heartless, god fearing Swoly telling the world how much of a coward she is for having taken her life? No really, i haven't read the thread and im too lazy to. Quieres queso ehSwoly?
I wonder will we remember how underdeveloped these teen brains are When we wanna give one the Death Penalty. Rocket River
Yea, pretty sick, and disgusting-Her pics of her autopsy photos were revealed...she made a youtube video of her death in sept...she died monday by taking her own life....She was stalked, bullied, etc..and thought that this moment was all there was. She was far too young to understand, and grew up in Canada/B.C. so the culture is quite different there...Honestly I kind of thought that Canadians, like the French were very close with family, I don't know why she was not 5150'd so to speak like we have here in the states, she wasn't emancipated from her parents, so it would have been quite easy, but her parents continued to think things would get better, bc after all when one grows, espesh parents they try, and think back and relate, and they know that this moment only will be there for so long, she just could not comprehend that this crazy stalker should have had the cops called on him, school should have punished individuals, I was a freshman in high school when the internet was still a tad "rare", dial up was the only thing available still, and there were websites posted of provocative things girls had done, and the people that published the material, and such were punished...Not sure why this was able to drag out as long as it did, but this shows the bullying of the hyper sensitive kids these days, they need more parental love, satisfaction, they need to be something else besides "living on the internet"- But she and her story is tragic...Summary...Lots of hatred in here as well, and a lot of hatred after her death, obv. whoever posted her nude autopsy photos is sick, and the stalker she had stalking her is SICK, and demented
That's the calling card for teenagers doing things that make absolutely no sense and shows their sensitive and impulsive nature. Which is one of the big reasons why I think people who engage themselves with teenagers, especially younger ones should be punished extensively. The ability of being cognizant for one's age should be irrelevant for someone who is considered a minor. Todd made some unwise decision, but she was a child. Everyone who keeps saying all she needed to do was suck it up and just sock someone in the face to stop the bullying. It's not that simple, there's difference between being bullied and being publicly shamed/embarrassed through physical and internet bullying being confronted by several other teenagers, while also being manipulated and threatened by an adult male. There's no simple solution for that cavemen...
....depends on the state, but yup that does go into account. In Texas, however, you better have a good lawyer, and not one "given" to you....Look that analogy is kind of there...but kind of not...Suicide, and murder (which I assume is what you speak of when, or if we remember the underdeveloped brain giving one youngster, which has happened, they just are on death row for a while, and die as "adults", but depending on the crime I think it goes a long way...in that moral dilemma question, I have never been for the death penalty, far too many statistics I studied showed me that innocent people die, or didn't have a fair trial albeit, evidence, lack there of or whatever, or maybe DNA not being available etc., etc., but yes these young people that do crimes as young kids, are evaluated, and most don't get the death penalty...I do not know the stats, but I'd bet that most "youths" ("Did you say youts" sorry Joe Pesci haha) but I'd gather that most young crime victims are either in jail for 25 years plus, and they probably get the chance of parole....look some youngsters are charged as adults, but Yes we do understand the brain structure, and yes that is taken into effect, not sure why it deals with this subject though...Like I said I'm not for the death penalty, and only know so much, but I know that any person, regardless of their age is looked at by tons of psychs....
Another well written summary of this awful stuff-I'd rep if I could, because of some of the disgusting hate comments, not just here, but everywhere "she looked when she was alive", and now dead, for not her to see, but people hide behind the computer, and talk Sh&*-It's embarrassing, and you make us, yes like said above look like "cavemen"- Like that movie crash the epic line an african american gives to the african american stealing cars, and crap (Ludicrous' character) "You embarrass me, you embarrass yourself...." That line is deeper than "me"...if you know the movie, but ya....
