Seems to know a lot more than us. It looks like everyone here blindly defending because she killed herself without exactly knowing why with the only story they have to lean to is the video she posted. Now, I'm not saying suicide is fine and we shouldn't care but I can't sit here and lie to myself and say that this suicide matters to me. People die and kill themselves hundreds of thousands of times a year and there is nothing I can do about it. Why is this girl's story more special than everyone else who has committed suicide from bullying? I don't think she's special at all or that her story is remarkable. The only time I would really have a strong empathetic feeling toward a suicide like this is if I knew the person personally and I could have prevented it. This isn't clear in here because I don't know her.
