Do I care that it happened? Yes! Nobody deserves something that horrible. However, I don't feel some sort of heightened pity just because she gets famous off of this. She is NOT the martyr that people are making her out to be! She didn't say, "Hey! I'll off myself so that other people will get it!" No. She did not. She offed herself because her morale was weak and she didn't have the willpower to push on with her life. There are people that pull the proverbial (and sometimes literal) trigger because of cyber bullying. What do they get? A small section of the obituary section in their local paper. Amanda Todd gets international fame? That's sickening. If one person gets this sort of recognition, then all should too. People are losing their damn minds over this girl. Where is your pity for the other millions of teens who call it quits because of a cyber bully? When you show the same sorrow for EVERY SINGLE OTHER KID who commits suicide, then I will believe that you REALLY care about stopping cyber bullying. Until then, stop acting like you're some sort of activist for it. Now, let me reiterate myself and say that I DO care that she died. I just don't feel the need to click 'Like' on every picture with her face on it.
