Teen Suicide Report
To me i feel like teen suicide is just an easy escape to a problem that can be resolved in many different and better ways. Teen suicide in my opinion is something very serious to take in mind specially because it affects more than one person. I feel like suicide isn't always the way and there is other ways that teens can resolve whatever it is that they're going through. Sometimes its difficult to let your feelings out and its understandable specially when there is always gonna be people who judge you. Honestly i don't think suicide is the only way out of a problem like bullying, which brings me to my next opinion about cases like bullying, people pick on each other and sometimes cant handle what someone else says or one of them goes too far and ends up sad and well you have to know when to stop saying stuff because you really don't know how someone is feeling and well that's just my opinion i wouldn't want to be the cause of a death so that's why i usually think before i speak.
The case i am about to speak about is very sad and cruel the way the teen suffered. Amanda Todd is a fifteen year old girl who at the time (2012) was a Canadian high schooler who is suffering of bullying because of a past experience that occurred when she was in 7th grade. While having a conversation with a stranger the stranger convinced her to show him her breasts and well the man got a screenshot of her breasts and that was that. Now back to present time (2012) the man contacts her and starts to blackmail her. The man tells her that if she doesn't do a live sex-stream with him that he will expose the picture of her breasts and well she refuses to do the sex-stream and the man sends the picture to all of her friends on Facebook and even makes fake accounts with her name and uses the picture of her breasts as the profile picture. That same year at school she would get bullied and beaten because she was a "slut" which made her depressed.
Being that she was so depressed, her parents moved her to a different high school and the stranger continued to stalk her and kept sending the photo to anyone she made contact with. In the new school she got beaten to the point where her parents picked her up because she couldn't walk home and once she got home she tried to kill herself by drinking bleach. Her parents took her to the emergency room right away which saved her. Weeks later she posted a video on YouTube explaining what had happened in the last year and in the description she wrote a letter saying that she wasn't doing all of that for attention that she just wanted to be an inspiration to others so that they can see that they CAN continue and that there is always another way. Weeks later after she posted that video she killed herself without leaving anything as of why she did it and well everyone knew why she did it. This teenager of just 15 years of age suffered so much and there was so much that could have been done to prevent this yet no one tried to help her.
I feel like there was many solutions to this case one being that they called the cops over the man that kept black mailing her and threatening her. I also feel like if there was people willing to help her and be her friend in tough times like those maybe she would've been alive. Bullying, blackmailing, assaulting and cyber bullying her made her do what she did and not one single soul though of the tough consequences that could have happened. Being that she killed herself to end all the pain it shows that just one person can be the cause of a death, that's all it takes...one person. You might think "oh well why didn't she ignore them?" well i mean you cant ignore the fact that everyone has a picture of your breasts. Its hard to get through things like that and its even more tough when you don't have the help of friends that can listen to you during tough times. In my opinion the best option would have been to report the case immediately and not waste any time because that could have saved her life.
