Nevlach Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Oh come on, you know what I meant. The big question is, if you're gonna make an argument that she as 12 years old and didnt know what the hell she was doing, if there was a case of a 12 year old kid killing someone, youre taking the same position that the kids only 12 and doesn't know what he/she did.

Jester@wraiths.ca Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I'm not trying to justify anything that was done to her. No, she did not deserve what happened to her. Yes, I sympathize with her family. However, if you believe that no blame whatsoever is in her ballpark, you're wrong. She made a stupid mistake for a pre-teen? Sure. That mistake still eventually lead to her suicide. Go ahead and call me "immature", "ignorant", or whatever you'd prefer to say. I'm entitled to my own opinion and I believe that while what happened to her is BEYOND messed up, and that the guy who did it deserves more than his fair share of punishment in prison. Acting as if I was saying she's to blame for more than a minute bit of this is incorrect, and you guys know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Blaming a 12 year old for making a poor decision is extremely moronic. A 12 year old girl in our oh so superficial and overly sexualized society was being flattered like she probably never had been before, and made a mistake she had no idea would matter. When any older person lures a child into doing something, the blame is entirely upon that older person. The person that lured her is a predator, preying upon those that are young and naive. The number of tormentors afterwards is an entirely different problem. We're seeing a generation with many members without any concern or compassion for others.

DeNiro Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 You don't need someone on the internet to find this guy. The cops already know who he is I'm sure. All they have to do is ask people from her schools, go through her cell phone texts and calls, or go through her computer files. This guy will be caught, it's only a matter of time. And when he is, I hope he is punished to the full extent of the law. If they can delay it enough, there may be a bullying law in place by then, that would allow them to add another charge to go along with extortion, statutory rape, and distributing child pornography.

Common sense Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Man fired for posting negative comments on Amanda Todd's memorial page CALGARY- The tragic story of Amanda Todd, the B.C. teen who allegedly took her own life due to bullying, has touched a nerve with people around the world. A number of rallies aimed at taking a stand against bullying are planned around the country, and in one case, has led to a man being fired. Calgary mother Christine Claveau saw a derogatory posting on Todd’s memorial Facebook page, and made it her mission to track down the person who wrote it. “I just saw all these hateful comments, outrageous things, tormenting her after her passing,” Claveau said. “This one gentleman said something that just triggered something in me.” So, she found out where he worked, and e-mailed his employer about the incident. The Toronto-based menswear chain took immediate action and fired him, saying they do not tolerate the mistreatment of others no matter what form it takes. “These people need to know there are consequences, we all need to be more accountable,” Claveau said, adding it’s a way of exposing people who feel anonymous behind social media. “[We] need to take a zero tolerance approach to this.” She and some other mothers now spend their time scouring message boards for people who make negative comments, and have been e-mailing their family members and employers to alert them to what’s being said in cyberspace. A candlelight vigil is scheduled for Friday at Olympic Plaza in honour of Amanda Todd. An anti-bullying and suicide prevention page called Bully Busters has also been set up to unite at-risk youth with their peers.

Grapefruits Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Anyone else think the news media needs to step back and stop making such a huge deal about the Amanda Todd case? Suicide from bullying is nothing new. Kids or anyone for that matter will start to look at suicide as an answer since they will finally get so much attention. I think its time for media to switch gears and look at the events that led to her suicide and start to educate kids and parents on how to prevent this from happening again. While tragic, certain events could have been prevented with a little education about the dangers of internet and social media use and misuse for that matter.

Spotted Zebra Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I guess it's hard to understand for people who haven't been bullied. To put it in more understandable terms. 5 years ago, in grade 10, something happened one night that put me in so much physical pain, it was a 9.5/10 on a rating scale. Now, I thought nothing of it, and each day the pain worsened. It got to the point where i was taking 8 - 10 short showers a day because it temporarily eased the pain. To make a long story short, I bit the bullet and didn't go to the doctor for THREE DAYS, turns out because I waited so long I needed emergency surgery, and had to go to the ER right then. The point of that, is to way that when I was in grade 3/4 I was bullied to no end by one kid. Just One. The amount of mental pain and stress it places on you is terrible, so much so, that I would go through those 3 days of pain before the surgery again, just to make it so that, the bullying I experienced never took place. ----- Keep in mind that that was one kid, I can't even begin to imagine how that girl made it so long with the whole world against her.
