It's funny because everybody who is giving her "sympathy" on the internet is failing to realise that she's got what she's wanted, attention! She's just another attention seeking bitch!
Still doesn't change my position on anything I said though.She was really stupid,Then again she was young and doing stupid things is a part of being young.

Lets be real here,ALL humans are to some extent attention whores.We are social animals after all,Humans who are anti social are considered to have major problems.

At 7th grade no kid has any business on a webchat talking with adults. That's beyond just being stupid. Let alone exposing yourself to an adult stranger online.

Didn't I say she was stupid? Its a stupid move on her part but she is young and stupid and doing stupid things is a part of being young.
Brilliant. Nails it perfectly. We sympathize, glorify, and elevate people like Todd who show us exactly how NOT to handle adversity and completely forget those we should be looking up to and referring to for inspiration.
From what I read she is not a slut that was sleeping around. An old friend called her and talked her into going to his house because his g/f was out of town. Should she have said no? Yes, but a girl that age with stars in her eyes over some guy that says he wants her more than his gf will do anything for him. If she had been 15 or 16 it would have been easier for her to say no because she would have had more experience and known what some guys really want.
But this isn't what brough on all her depression. It was a stalker. Someone online talked her into flashing and she did it without thinking. Stupid? Yes but young girls do stupids things. Things boys the same age wouldnt do.
Then a stalker told her to make send more pics or he would expose her. If she was a slut she would have. But she wasn't and she didnt make anymore pics so he sent the pic to everyone. They should find out who he was and arrest him for stalking because hhe was a stranger that found out her address and names of her family and friends.
Of course she will become depressed when her family and friends see that pic and people start bullying her.
Sure she made some dumb decisions, but who doesnt when they are young? She sent one pic of her boobs and slept with one guy who talked her into it. So she wasn't sleeping around or sending lots of pics. 2 incidents doesnt make her a slut.
But some of you are just like the people in her school calling her a slut every day til she snapped. They even followed her to 2 different schools, one in another city. I would say the bullies in her first school that followed her like that are a little psycho themselves and need some therapy.
Such a sad story. Yes, she did what she did but you can't judge her mental health in this kind of distress. She lost control on her life and couldn't handle it anymore. It's easy to talk in hindsight but you don't know what she went through, it kept coming back no matter where she was and with the depression she was in, along with problems with the close family and her age. In the past there were no Twitter/Facebook/YouTube to run after you for the entire world to see. It was the wrong decision but where are the parents? She was just 15, and all of it started when she was probably 14, the responsibility of the parents was to at least give her more support, she talked in the vid like she's living alone with no one to talk to, she tried to find the hope in something but no one was there to give her this feeling. Tragedy. RIP.
I don't think anyone is saying that she deserved to die. It's not like this alleged Facebook stalker broke into her home with a Scream mask and brutally murdered her causing her death. She killed herself by her own hand because she couldn't handle the consequences of her actions. It's as simple as that. These consequences which were handed down by everyone else didn't include death. Only hers did. It's her fault that she died because she killed herself. That's what people are saying.
Yeah, it sucks that some loser on the Internet followed her around and kept stalking her via Facebook. But let's face the fucking facts: how difficult would it have been for her not to have a Facebook after she moved?
I think using "die" in the context of committing suicide leaves a little room for error. Committing suicide is not the same as "dying" from cancer or a drunk driver. Committing suicide is killing yourself.
What we're saying is that she got what she wanted all along.
