Todd was a victim of cyber-bullying and her death is being attributed to her 3-year ordeal with bullies.
Below is Todd's story as told by a viral post on Facebook:
"Amanda Todd. She went in chat rooms with her friends a few years ago to meet new people. They complimented her, then they asked her to flash, so she did.
"About a year later somebody messaged her telling her that if she didn't give him a 1 on 1 show that he would send photos of her chest out to all of her friends, family etc.
"A few weeks went by, and it was Christmas break, 4am the cops were knocking at the door. Her pictures were sent to everyone. She was depressed, and her anxiety was off the charts. She lost every friend. So she moved, different school, new beginning.
"Not too long after, he found her and sent her photos out again. She got into drugs, and alcohol. Started self harm. She became so depressed, she didn't go out. So she moved in with her mom in a completely new place.
"She stared to talk to an old guy friend that was now leading her on, saying he liked her. He had a girlfriend. He invited her over. She went, they hooked up. She later got a text saying leave your school now. She ignored it. Everyone surrounded her. Two girls came up to her telling her to look around, and nobody likes her. A boy screamed out "Just hit her already." They threw her to the ground and hit her several times. She ran to a ditch and her dad found her later. When she went home she chugged beach, attempting suicide.
"She was rushed to the hospital, and they flushed her system. She gets home and sees posts all over Facebook telling her to drink bleach again, saying nobody likes her, and telling her to die. She cried every night. Everyone hated her because of on mistake. One little mistake. She started cutting again. She attempted suicide and failed.
"On October 10th, 2012, Amanda Todd killed herself because of bullies. One mistake she made, made her life hell. She hung herself after attempting suicide multiple times. Share this, people need to know her story."
