SOCIAL MEDIA TO BLAME FOR TEEN'S DEATH

Re: Death of mainland teen Amanda Todd

How sad, another teen loses her life because of bullies. We have all 
done stupid things in our lives, but we did not have instant replay 
around the world. I like this quote: "If people try to bring you 
down, it only means you are above them."

Tragic that this young lady did not realize that. When will the 
powers that be realize that social media websites are addictive? Just 
as marijuana use can lead to depression, addiction and loss of life 
in some people, so can these immoral websites.

Some people make a lot of money hosting these websites but do not 
seem to care about the victims. These kind of sites need to be shut 
down immediately and changes need to be made.
