Amanda Todd Response


 
    The story of her life made me feel sorrowful and shocked. I felt sympathy for Amanda Todd who was the same age as us, and got bullied to an extent that forced her to drink bleach and, eventually, commit suicide. In this heartbreaking video, she wrote, “I have nobody. I need someone.” I could feel the extreme loneliness that she was experiencing and how desperate she was to find a person that she could share her feelings with. Of course, she did not deserve to be bullied to death just because of one stupid decision. Maybe things would have been better if people cared more about others around them and fully understood others before judging and excluding them.

   It seems ridiculous that bullying is still happening today since where’s the respecting others that we’ve learned throughout our education. Why would you bully others when you wouldn’t want to be treated the same way as you treated them?

  1. I also feel sorry for Amanda because she has been through so much at our age. If people cared for the people getting bullied the situation would have been better.

  2. I feel exactly the same, it's ridiculous that the bullying when to the extent of wanting to end her own life. I wish at least someone stood up for her to help her through it all.
