The Cyber Bullying Begins...

Well, a few years prior, Amanda Todd went on a video chat session to meet new people and to see and to talk to new people. One man asked her to flash for him and so she did. After that she didn't talk to him and went on with her life. About a year later, he found her again on Facebook. He said if she doesn't put on a show for him then he will send the picture to everyone. She didn't do it, so he sent them and everyone saw them. The person who sent them was a man from the Netherlands.. The man from the Netherlands meets her through a video chat, but she got the most bullying on Facebook. She attempted to take her life with bleach, but it just made things worse. People were posting picture of bleach and saying"She deserved it I hope she dies.” The police came to her door at about 4am to tell her that her photos are on the internet. Some of the bullies got her face and posted it on "memes" and put mean captions on it.
