From time to time I will come across, the usually nasty individuals in the YouTube comments section; promoting suicide to gay teens (amongst other things).

What I want to know is how seriously should we all take cyber bullying? Do most people just brush off online insults and think of it as just a bunch of cowards hiding behind a keyboard? Maybe a lot of us do think that. But maybe some people aren’t able to get passed the insults and promotion of suicide. If a person’s self esteem is low enough, maybe thats all it takes to push them over the edge.

I’m not sure if any of you have heard about Amanda Todd, who attempted to take her own life by drinking bleach, she then made a video about how she was mistreated. But finally actually went through with committing suicide and she was found dead in her parents home.
