but the bullies keep winning: Amanda Todd Nov. 27, 1996 - Oct. 10, 2012


Amanda Todd, a Port Coquitlam area teenager who posted a video on YouTube last month about being cyber-bullied, was found dead Wednesday night... Authorities believe she committed suicide.

" ...People are on her Youtube video right now asking for the pictures, saying things like “dumb bitch deserved it”, “rot in hell slut”, and “this world is not for the weak”, and generally exposing themselves as the sorts of bullying shitheels this internet is so desperate to protect under the rubric of “free speech”...

the bullies keep winning: Kenneth Weishuhn 1998 - 2012

" ...A lot of people, they either joined in or they were too scared to say anything," she said. They took their teases online, to websites like Facebook, creating a hate group against gays and adding Kenneth’s friends as members.  However, it was only the beginning, family say he started receiving death threats from students on his phone."
