True or not?

[UofLCard]

I'm seeing these "PSA"s around the internet that the boy in the meme committed suicide from being called ugly? Is that true? it sounds fake to me, but I can;t find any info on him.

(open in another tab to see it fully)

It's fake...that boy on the right is the image of the "typical" kid that commits suicide over bullying.

Basically they're saying people commit suicide daily but for some reason we're giving attention to that girl.

Oh, okay. Thanks for clearing that up. I guess people (especially young people) will believe anything like this.

shits dumb

The reason this girl is getting so much attention is because she made a youtube video about being bullied like a week before she killed herself.

Five weeks before she killed herself.

Was it even a kid? I thought a man did it.

But yes, I agree, Rexie. The guy needs to rot in jail forever. Isn't that distributing child porn?

This sorta reminds me...one of my best friends said to some kid over Xbox Live a couple months back "I HOPE YOU DIE YOU PIECE OF SHIT" and that particular kid hasn't logged on since.

They haven't been able to find out who the guy was but yes, he deserves to rot for a long time.

Dude, no offense but this is funny as fuck.

Also, this is what I read on 4chan: (not saying any of it is true. And not saying it to disrespect her, R.I.P Amanda, whatever, bullies are faggots)

Amanda Todd

Ok, well let's just get this all out of the way so you all can stop your bitching about this dead girl. A lot of what is posted in her video and on her page is fabricated to make her look like she was an angel. Think again.

1. She was 15 years old when she flashed those guys.
2. She did it out of her own free will. She CHOSE to do it.
3. She already flirted with many guys before.
4.
She got 'beat' up at school not because of the picture, but because she slept with another girl's boyfriend. (refer to #1)
5. The guy 'bullied' her once only about 6-8 months after she flashed online. Not multiple times over 2 years.
6. She was known to have slept with multiple men and to sell herself out.
7. Her home life wasn't the best. (family troubles)

You people who are giving her sympathy and pity should all be ashamed of yourselves. Instead of giving pity to a girl who already commited suicide, how about you talk to that lonely kid at lunch? Yea, the one who sits all alone in the corner. But no, you'd rather sit with your friends and then come home and get on facebook and say shit like 'Oh, how come no one helped poor Amanda, she's so pretty, why did she have to die'. FUCK YOU! Go crawl back in your shell of safety while the ones who really need help are only an arms length away.

We should be talking about the ones who were bullied and managed to survive through it all. The success stories. Because that's what gives kids hope, the ones who know what it's like to be in their shoes. The ones who have walked that road before and came out ok.

What kind of message does it send to impressionable teens that if you go ahead and kill yourself that you will get thousands of likes on a facebook page and everyone will feel sorry for you and give you attention? If you have any self respect for the future then you'd stop and think about where your morals are. If you're too confused with your emotions and common sense, then just get off the internet entirely. No one wants to read your idiotic comments and your emotion filled rage tantrums.

tl;dr Stop giving pity to a dead girl. Give it to the ones who deserve it.

Regardless of if that's true, that's a very illustrative and good point about our selective empathy.

[the real slim shady]

its facebook and people think it makes them look good if they like the page and then think that they will "go to hell if you ignore it" (as every other facebook picture/page seems to say at the moment).
That said im fairly sure that when she died the last thing she thought wasnt 'at least i will get a good facebook fan page'.
