Amanda Todd's note left to an friend named Kelsey.

Amanda Michelle Todd (November 27, 1996 – October 10, 2012) was a 15-year-old Canadian student and victim of cyberbullying who hanged herself at her home in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. A month before her death, Todd posted a video on YouTube in which she used a series of flashcards to tell her experience of being blackmailed into exposing her breasts via webcam on the livestreaming and online chat service Blogger, and of being bullied and physically assaulted.

[traumatizedjaguar]

what I don't think people understand is that abusers aren't a rare find. I had a lot of kids get involved in bullying me and some of those emotional abusers went as far as SA and most of them don't care to acknowledge they did this like it must be kept some secret now that were all adults, and so many got involved because it was like the new trending thing to bully me. when Amanda Todd got bullied - 15 kids showed up to beat her up or cheer on the people who were verbally abusing her in the halls because it was seen as a good thing to bully Amanda Todd, those kids all said "you deserve this" to her. the thing with bullying is its a mob mentality, kids are easily persuaded to get involved especially when the main abusers can present fabricated evidence or witnesses; bullies show up for bullies.

Remembering Amanda Todd (1996-2012) 🖤

Amanda Todd was only 15 trying to find her way in the world 🌍. In 2012, I was her age, scrolling my Tumblr dashboard one autumn morning before school. And there she was—her story, flashing through silent cards, each one telling a piece of her pain 💔. Amanda faced bullying, harassment, and manipulation beyond anything anyone should ever experience.

It all started with a stranger who pressured her to expose herself, using her trust against her, turning it into a weapon. When Amanda said no, he put her photos on a website notorious for preying on young people—her nightmare had begun 😔. She changed schools, her family moved, and yet, the bullying followed her. Amanda kept searching for a safe place, but nowhere felt secure—her past seemed to follow her everywhere 🥀.

One day, she turned to an old friend, looking for comfort. But even that connection turned against her, as she was physically assaulted by other students, left more isolated and hurt than before 💧. Amanda’s strength, her resilience, her hope—they were incredible, but the cruelty kept piling on, pushing her deeper into darkness.

Her story left us with a message: that we all need to protect each other, to stand up against cruelty, to offer help instead of harm. Amanda’s memory is a call to action—against cyberbullying, against harassment, and for kindness 🕊️. Her mother founded the Amanda Todd Legacy Foundation to keep her voice alive, fighting for anti-bullying education and support. Even now, her story resonates, a reminder of how powerful our words and actions can be.

To Amanda and all those who’ve suffered in silence, we remember you 💜. Your voice, your story, your memory—they echo still.

It's national bullying prevention month and people who bullies others don’t realize that they can only push the victim so far where they don’t know who to talk to (including people who are close to them), be around or even know what to do anymore. The more people who bullies others online, or in-person don’t know what can happen next. They can choose to change their ways and how to treat others or they don’t change and continue to harm and hurt others.

You never know what someone else is going through, what their home life is, and not even getting to know them and just assuming that they are better than you and judging them when you never got to really them for who they are.

AMANDA TODD

AMANDA TODD

1996-2012

Victim of bullying

            Amanda Todd was a 15-year old Canadian. A stranger online peer pressured her to expose her breasts which she did and he later blackmailed her and told her he would send them to her friends unless she gives him a ‘show’. The perpetrator placed her photos on a paedophile site, which was used for grooming young people into nudity or sexual acts.

            In 2010, police let Todd know that her photo was circulating on the internet and her family moved to a new home. The perpetrator started sending her picture to those at her new school, after this she was bullied and had to change schools.

Todd started chatting to an old male friend who had contacted her and he invited her to his house where they had sex when his girlfriend was on holiday. A week later, the girlfriend and a group of 15 others assaulted her. It was after this she attempted suicide but survived after being rushed to the hospital.

            Her family moved to a different city and Todd received counselling, but the students and the perpetrator continued to bully her which resulted in her suffering from depression.

            She committed suicide at her family home in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada on 10 October 2012. At the end of her life she posted a 9 minute video on YouTube where she used flashcards about how she was bullied and had been physically assaulted.

            Her death gained public and media attention, which brought awareness to cyberbullying, harassment, and her mother, Carol created the Amanda Todd trust, to support anti-bullying education programs.

            A police investigation took place which led them to a man who used the name ‘Aydin C.’ online who had numerous victims in the Netherlands, England and Canada. On his computer they found chat logs and child pornography. Dutch-Turkish man, Aydin Coban showed no remorse and was imprisoned for targeting and harassing around 39 victims online. He was found guilty in 2022 and was sentenced to 13 years in prison. Todd’s mother said that there was more than one person who was involved in her daughter’s harassment and bullying.

Even more horrifying- some people involved in Amanda Todd's case are part of a deeper network of pedophiles. They are a group of men who purposefully target and run blackmail scams on teens, even children, on websites like Omegle. They encourage, pressure, harass young girls (even for literal years) to expose themselves on camera. As soon as they give in, the men blackmail and harass them with the footage for money or for more explicit material. One of the youngest was 8.

These men even had their own tv channel where they showcased and discussed various victims (Amanda Todd being one of them), celebrated successful crimes, and gave awards to each other.

"The Daily Capper".

so a dude routinely comes to a coffee shop with his dick in his hand, the manager is done with his shit, posts his face along with his crime, cowardly pervert shoots himself, and it's the coffee shop managers fault? bite me

Amanda Todd: The Internet's Ghost

In Fall 2012, I was entering my final year of high school, but was already chronically online. Even though I knew most of the internet subcultures, unlike my peers at school, I'm ashamed to say i never saw the original video of Amanda Todd. But one morning, I woke up like usual and checked my dashboard and there she was. Amanda Todd. Dead. I was immediately shocked to see such a young person, a person younger than me, actually commiting suicide. In that video, the small teenager is barely showing herself. Her body language is meek, fragile. Her cards are telling us her story:

In 7th grade, she moved in with her father and like many teenagers, she used video chat to meet new people over the Internet, and eventually started using it as a self-validation tool. There is no shame in it, we've all done it and god knows people keep doing it with the omnipresence of social medias today. After chatting with someone for a year, which says something, that someone kept asking her to show her breast. Mind you, she is in 8th grade at the time. She eventually does and the stranger evidently take screenshots and later start blackmailing her. Amanda is then 14.

What Amanda doesn't know, it's that she's been victime of a very active but deeply hidden part of the Internet; Cappers. According to Urban Dictionary, a capper is "a person who spends every hour of every day on the internet trying ot record random girls on webcam and making friends with other geeky/lonely pervs". We don't talk enough about how the late 2000s were a perfect playground for pedophiles. A whole subculture was created at the basis of hunting teenagers on livecam. They even produced an animated newscast series called “The Daily Capper”, which covered the exploits and stories that happened and even gave awards to pedophiles who bullied those girls. The girls were all underage, and it was made pretty explicit that they were the targets, not grown women. After all, they probably fed on the power balance and the fact they were young and clueless, a thing they could not achieve easily with older women.

Here's an example, from “TheDailyCapper.com – Week of June 20,2010” (0:11-0:57):

We are halfway through the year and what better way to spend 365 days then on your computer screen, looking for camera whores. The week of June 14 to 20 has been an incredible week for capping. It is summertime. Despite what others think, summer is not the time to go outdoors, swimming, being with friends. Rather it is a time for girls and boys to turn their computers on and get dirty. School is out, and stripping is in. What has this week had to deliver to the capping world? Here is what. Let’s start with this past Thursday. Epic win was delivered in the form of four thirteen year old girls from blogTV Jr. “candybitchez” a cutie age bitch came to tinychat and stripped it all for a room of 300."

Cappers would use flattery to get girls to lift their shirt, take off their clothes, perform sexual acts, then they would “cap” (take a screen capture) at the right moment, which they could use to extort them into further acts. They would usually threaten to send the pictures to family or friends, but the pictures were mostly stored on another website to share with others cappers. Some of them would achieve a certain status among the community for their manipulative techniques and even end up as nominees for the “Blackmailer of the Year” award. A very toxic little village indeed.

So Amanda Todd fell into the trap, the picture is sent to all of her Facebook friends, including her mother. Oddly enough, someone seemed to take Amanda's wellbeing at heart because they had this little conversation with Carol Todd;

In her infamous video, Amanda tells us what happened next; the police knocked on her door one day at 4am to tell her that her photo was sent to everyone. Understandably, she developed anxiety, major depression and panic disorder. She went back to school and got openly slut-shamed. Amanda herself would say what it was like in a chat found on her laptop after her death:

“There are people out there that can’t talk to me. Or they will be hated. I never got the chance to go out of my house, and be a real normal person, instead, now all I do is hide, I’m always scared of what’s going to happen."

Amanda would eventually change school, but her blackmailer was inhumanely persistent and followed her there, even going as far as sending the nude picture to the staff. The poor girl moved again, and this time, she got into drugs and alcohol. Her parents did contact the police, but nothing could be done. After all we are in 2011. And guess what? All of that isolation led her to go hide in chatrooms and spend more time on cam. Her blackmailer was relentless but finally sent her a new message under an alias:

“lol, u already forgot who I am? the guy who last year made you change school, got your door kicked in by the cops? give me three shows, and I will disappear forever. you know I won’t stop until you give me those three shows. if u go to a new school, new bf, new friends, new whatever, I will be there again, I am crazy, yes, xD so your answer?”

Because Amanda didn't comply, on November 12, 2011, a new Facebook account was created posing as a new student at Todd's school, with the nude picture as the profile picture. Another year of harassment continued and Amanda was on the edge of commiting something atrocious. Anxious and sick, she isolated more and more. She did try to alert her friends, but they were all kids so nobody took her seriously.

“You know how many times I’ve head, ‘Nobody likes you’ or wants you here, go back to where you came from, or if you died, I would throw a party? Ever since all this happened, I just cry myself to sleep, because it hurts no matter what. Please please just help me.”

But then things turned for the better, somehow. Amanda was still alone, but the harassment was fizzling away:

"Everything was better even though I sat still alone at lunch in the library everyday. After a month later I started talking to an old guy friend. We back and forth texted and he started to say he liked me…[he led] me on. He had a girlfriend. Then he said come over my girlfriend’s on vacation. So I did…huge mistake. He hooked up with me. I thought he liked me. One week later I get a text, “Get out of your school…” [He and his] girlfriend and 15 others came. [His girlfriend] and two others just said, “look around nobody likes you” in front of my new school, [in front of] fifty people. A guy then yelled “just punch her already.” So she did… She threw me to the ground and punched me several times. Kids filmed it. I was all alone and left on the ground. I felt like a joke in this world…I thought nobody deserve this. I was alone. I lied and said it was my fault and my idea. I didn’t want him getting hurt. I thought he really liked me but he just wanted the sex. Someone yelled “punch her already.” Teachers ran over but I just went and laid in a ditch and my dad found me. I wanted to die so bad. When [my father] brought me home I drank bleach. It killed me inside and I thought I was gonna actually die. [The] ambulance came and brought me to the hospital and flushed [the bleach out]. After I got home all I saw was an facebook: “She deserved it, did you wash the mud out of your hair? – I hope she’s dead.”

In March 2012, Amanda and her family moved to another city, but the Blackmailer would come back again and repeat his campaign of harassment. Amanda was prescribed antidepressed but kept engage in self-mutilation. She attempted again and again to die.

She would finally succeed on October 10, 2012.

People are horrible peace of shits.

The video wasn't that popular before her death, but now it exploded. Tv medias were grabbing the story and soon everyone, even my grandparents, knew about Amanda Todd. There was a lot of tributes, people suddenly feeling remorse too I suppose but we'll never know. At the moment, the whole Internet community was crying and trying to find the bastard who did this to her. Unfortunately, they never talked about cappers in any medias. They would treat it as blatant cyberbullying when it was much more than that, much more pervasive too than teenagers feuding together. Her ghost still linger whenever people are getting too mean, whenver an internet personality commit suicide.

Did people got safer because of Amanda Todd? I don't know. Cappers became irrelevant and their Daily Show was stopped. Coincidence? Their last video was made months after they stopped and oddly was talking about Amanda, how they would search for her blackmailer and never support such horrible act... then the segment ends with their habitual “happy hunting!”

I won't talk about the people who got arrested and hunted, because I think it was mostly bullshit. The Cappers community was very good for manipulating, even their own members, and would often make each others take the fall for them. Amanda Todd wasn't the victim of one people, but a whole subculture that was very toxic and nasty. Fortunately, in a way, it changed some things. Carol Todd established the Amanda Todd Trust to receive donations in support of anti-bullying awareness education and in 2013, Justice Minister Peter MacKay introduced Bill C-13, an anti-cyberbullying and revenge porn legisllation that went into effect on March 9 2015.

Amanda Todd’s story is not just a cautionary tale about “Internet safety” or “teen rebellion.” It exposes a deeper rot: the exploitation of vulnerability and the way societal norms amplify shame rather than compassion. The puritan narrative often simplifies Amanda’s tragedy into a moral lesson about individual behavior—implying that if only she hadn’t done that on camera, none of this would have happened. But this framing absolves the broader culture of its complicity. It overlooks the predatory systems that targeted her, the social conditioning that weaponized shame, and the failure of adults to intervene meaningfully. The Internet may be volatile and unregulated, but the real issue lies in how easily people turn cruelty into entertainment and how society fails to foster empathy.

Amanda didn’t die because of a mistake. She died because a toxic mix of misogyny, exploitation, and indifference left her isolated. Her story isn’t just about what not to do online; it’s about what we must do offline—teaching accountability, building support systems, and dismantling the stigma that leads vulnerable people to feel irreparably broken.
