Amanda Todd Crucial Story

In this article, it’s a story about a girl in the 7th grade who was name Amanda Todd, who commit suicide from being blackmailed from a 36 year old dutch man. She was in a webcam watch by random strangers and she decided to flash to the webcam. An account name “Tyler Boo” decided to screenshot her flashing to the webcam. Tyler boo started to threatened her saying that if she doesn’t send him more pictures of her, he will expose those pictures to every person she knows and everyone in the world would see it.  Amanda refused to send him more pictures of her, so Tyler boo uploaded the pictures on a porn website and send the link to every Facebook friend she had. The next day when Amanda went to school she was know as the “girl in the picture”. She was slut shame and embarrassed. It was leading her to depression and anxiety. Later on Tyler boo went on and made a new fake Facebook page calling himself Austin Collins and connected to all of her new friends from her new school to make it seem like he went to Amanda’s school, the profile picture was of her flashing. She thought of an idea so she grab a black marker and white paper and made a video of her explaining her story on the paper and then posted it on YouTube, The whole world saw the video. On October 10th Amanda decided to take her life away in her mother’s house alone.

Immediacy: The lack of threats she got from the blackmailer cause her to have depression and suicide

Permanence: Well the pictures that Tyler boo had of Amanda he posted them everywhere and now the whole world can see them until today

Lack of Control: it led to the point where Amanda had no one to talk to so she took away her life since she was getting threat's by the same person.

If I would to give advice to Amanda and everyone else is to speak up and report it! Don’t take your life away, there are other solutions that can be handled in a different way.
