Amanda Todd - The Story Of A 15 Year Old Adolescent Girl Who Committed Suicide:

Last Wednesday a teenaged girl named Amanda Todd, 15 years old, committed suicide after a year long battle with bullies. Her untimely death is something we all are to blame for. While we were all going about our lives, she was going through hell. Why was not something done? Who is always to blame? What could have already been done? What'll we do now?

Why are we so unkind and why can not we all take a moment to feel? Pain doesn't simply happen. It is the direct result of activity!

The children who tormented her for seemingly showing her breasts - Where are they now? Are they proud of what they did? Are they proud of their children?

When a life is cut down in such cruelty we instantly seek for someone to blame. As if to have the ability to point a finger and say "There's the issue. It is them that are behind this".

But in fact, we are all at fault. This society that we create it condemns an innocent kid for just being ordinary and interested. The issue is with us. With all folks!

Where were we?

People who do the intimidation will not be the only ones that will be punished. What about those who are too frightened to take a stand and do what's right? How about the countless individuals who could step up at any time along the way, but don't? Should we blame the parents and educators whose job it's to educate?

It really is so simple to blame others. But blame will not bring this lovely kid back, nor will it cease future atrocities!

So what can we do? Just how can we prevent this from happening again? It's occurring today in schools, houses and places of business all over the world. All of us see it, but how many people can honestly say that we tried to stop it?

I started FKK two years ago because I felt the naturist movement should be more about the people and less about the nudity. For me, the movement should be about teaching people about feelings, emotions, acceptance, understanding and empathy. Now more than ever I feel as though there's an imminent need to break through.

We're all insecure, scared, anxious and in search of a safe area where we can be who we're. What we say or think means nothing without activity, and it is our everyday activities that define who we are!

I am outraged that this wonderful soul lived on precisely the same world as me, and yet her piece of world was nightmare. I can't help but feel responsible, every time something like this happens.

Innocence is the essence of mankind and is something that must be cherished and nurtured.

Let us stop judging and start listening, let's do instead of expectation and let us start embracing the things that make us all unique.

Amanda Todd was 15 years old and a target of our own society's preoccupation with sex, the body and our egos.

Take follow to listen. Take the time to learn. If you see that someone is sad, worried or needs firm subsequently get up and do something.

Amanda Todd made this clip about a month before she expired. We could have done something.
