there really is no answer.

if the parents arent there to talk to their child or monitor what she is doing on the web, then there really isnt anything that can be done.

[QUOTE="Serraph105"]

I don't know if this is real or not given that it's the daily mail we discussing, but it's sad to me that there are so many here that couldn't care less about death of a young girl.......I'm not sure I like this place as much as I used too.

when signing up to askfm it's pretty obvious there's the opportunity for people to send anonymous messages and if you're already being bullied/depressed it makes absolutely no sense to open another door to making you feel worse. These aren't random people that she doesn't know, it is most likely facebook 'friends' that have gone on her ask account (it links/shares with facebook) and posted stuff, this means she knew there was much potential for abuse. I don't know why someone who clearly already has problems would sign up to something like that - approval seeking maybe? Sure it's not her fault but she didn't exactly help herself. I have no idea how people take stuff like this so seriously either, it wasn't even messages that personally attacked her looks or personality, just generic 'kill yourself' bs... not to mention she had a boyfriend so I assume this means she wasn't a social outcast either. us teens overall seem to be pretty dumb on the internet. (sort of felt bad writing this, but i see too many stupid vulnurable and sometimes attention seeking girls getting ask fm and sharing it all over facebook for the people that don't like them to see and abuse them on - not to say it justifies the abuse)

[QUOTE="BPoole96"][QUOTE="Nengo_Flow"] you should get on that tho...Wolfetan

About to rush to the hardware store to buy rope and razer blades. It's been real man, but I can't go on living with strangers on the internet wanting me dead.

But bleach is good for you.

Besides bleach is mostly water and we're mostly water, therefore we're bleach.

wow, it takes a whole 2 seconds to block somebody on facebook or other social media. i have no pity for these people that cant take life and kill themselves

[QUOTE="Wolfetan"][QUOTE="BPoole96"] You're suggesting that I kill myself?BPoole96

[QUOTE="BPoole96"][QUOTE="Nengo_Flow"] im just joking, i dont have any problems with you. I know there are people here that dont like you, but IDK Nengo_Flow

[QUOTE="Nengo_Flow"][QUOTE="BPoole96"] I'm not aware of anyone on this site that doesn't like me.heeweesRus

LEAVE BPoole96 ALONE!!!:cry:

[QUOTE="heeweesRus"]

[QUOTE="Nengo_Flow"] hmmm... a couple days ago I remember seeing someone mentioning your name with something negative to say about you and another guy agreeing with him. IDK bro...Nengo_Flow

OP seriously, stop reading the Daily Mail. It's a rag. And if you insist on doing it, stop sharing every story you read on here. Please. Srs.

EDIT: Damn, **** you OP for making me click that god damned link and read that god damned crap and inevitably succumb to rage. Every time I read that god damned publication. Every. Damned. Time.

"She just wanted the abuse to stop, but they wouldn't leave her alone."

LOG OFF OF THE DAMNED WEBSITE

"She stood up to the bullies but they kept coming back."

LOG OFF OF THE DAMNED WEBSITE.

That and she seemed to use the site exclusively to post emo signs and pictures of her self-harming and threatening to kill herself and calling herself ugly. Yes people are jerks on the internet but when you provoke the ire of random idiots on the internet, you're going to get the worst they have to offer. Hell, her attention-seeking personality went right through to the end - 'wouldn't you feel bad if I really did commit suicide?' she says to her 'tormentors'. Yes, even in death she's doing it just to make someone else feel bad.

And what do her parents do immediately after her tragic death? Why, TAKE TO FACEBOOK TO PUBLICISE IT OF COURSE!


**** this sh11ty earth.  

So what?

The girl obviously had problems. Thousands of people every day are "bullied" on the internet and never kill themselves. Kids are made fun of, pushed around, and treated like shit by other kids face to face everyday but they dont all run home after school and kill themselves.

The whole "internet bullying" thing is something I have no sympathy for, not even for kids. Its the girls fault she subjected herself to it, she could have simply ignored it, BECAUSE ITS THE INTERNET! But she chose not to, and chose to let strangers on the internet intimidate her, and she chose to kill herself. No sane person, even a child, does that.

It sounds like she would have done it anyway, this was just the last straw, and if it wasnt internet trolling it would have been something else.

But bleach is good for you.

Besides bleach is mostly water and we're mostly water, therefore we're bleach.

You deserve one badass point for this reference.

^^This. Cuberbullying is far different from real bullying.

turtlethetaffer

That makes sense, too.  I still think cyberbullying is different though... Most of the time it's from completely anonymous people, so I don't see why anyone should care what they think.  Plus it's much, much, much easier to avoid.  simply don't go on that website.  bullying IRL is a lot tougher to deal with.

Yep, online, you can stop a troll/bully (same thing really) with one or two clicks of your mouse.  In a face to face confrontation, you cannot just end it when you want.  'Cyberbullying' is a joke

So why do people have an account on that site again?

do people really feel no sympathy for this poor girl?

[QUOTE="Nibroc420"] While yes, they were less than ideal citizens, i'm simply saying that SHE chose to go back to that site. There are certain sites on the internet i know of, yet choose avoid, because i know what is there. If you're going to a website, and you see/hear things you dont like, or the site is full of little ****s harassing you, you're not obligated in any way to return to that website.MrGeezer

OT is amazingly callous these days.

This is saddening.

She clearly had awful parents, since they're totally passing the buck and blaming the guy who created a f*cking music website for her death. It is sad, and I do think people should be more empathetic to a degree, but stuff like this just shows how self-absorbed and out of touch with reality this generation is. If she felt the need to kill herself over trolls on last.fm she was just a suicide waiting to happen. There's no way she could've handled the demands of the real world.Rhazakna

ASK FM not LAST.FM

As a "teen" living in the UK though yes Ask fm has recently (especially this year) become more popular in the UK. Its become a place where kids generally don't do much harm just minor banter between each other but it of course has become a bully magnet.

With that being said, I feel no sympathy for anyone who gets bullied ONLINE because well its a joke. 

Here is the brilliant thing about Ask fm : The questions you receive are set to anon (the person who sends the question can make their profile public), the question comes up in your questions inbox thingy, IT IS OPTIONAL YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION YOU CAN DELETE IT AND NOT PUBLISH THE ANSWER BUT KIDS STILL ANSWER IT AND SHOW IT TO THE WHOLE WORLD. 

Now obviously common sense would tell you that if you have an Ask fm account and you receive some hateful, bullying-like comments about you that you didn't like NATURALLY you would delete your account and therefore avoid having to see the questions that bullies send you, by staying on these websites you pretty much invite bullies to continue to flame you.

Well anyway, the weak die and the strong survive.

Victim blaming at full force here at GS.

Kids can be so cruel.

R.I.P.

I agree this isn't ask.fm fault and that parents should know what their kids do on the internet but a lot of you seem oblivious to the fact that 14 years old adolescents can be easily impressionable and sensitive. It is like you were never 14, yes, now I know to see everything on the internet with skepticism but that was after years of experience. And no, not everyone enters the internet knowing all the ins and out of internet etiquette and protocol without expending sometime in it.

Sad to see OT still mocks the death of kids and acts like they deserve itCapitan_Kid
