Day 296
The suicide of 15-year-old Canadian Amanda Todd earlier this
month brought a renewed awareness to the serious business of bullying and
today’s teen. Millions have
visited her YouTube video that outlines her desperate plea. In stark black and white, she holds one
card up then another. Each card,
sometimes misspelled in a teen girl’s script, tells of her harrowing ordeal of
the escalating bullying.
A friend forwarded an online petition that started
circulating in mid-October asking the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the
Canadian Security Intelligence Service to bring those responsible for Amanda’s
death to be held accountable. I
sign the open letter. Enough is
enough.
Thanks for sharing this. It's heartbreaking. Hopefully the petition will help prevent future bullying. It's a scary world.
ReplyDeleteAn idea that grew out of this blog is a book aimed at Middle School girls. The working title is The Bully Antidote. A little girl uses random acts of kindness to change the attitudes and atmosphere at her school. Once the boys and I hit Day 365, I'll start posting chapters. Thanks for visiting!
