Facebook Killed Amanda Todd

by Dee Marie

In some ways, Amanda Todd could represent any child. Tender, sensitive, young, coming of age, she poignantly told her story in an online video --a story filled with the anguish and pain of being humiliated and cyber bullied . A month later, she died in an apparent suicide. Perhaps Amanda Todd’s death might shock us. Perhaps it might awaken us to what our children face each and every day.
In this book we look at our children's culture (as separate from adult culture) as it is playing out on Facebook and ask two questions: (1) what is the root cause? and (2) What we can collectively do to cultivate resilient children?

This book's existence makes me very, very angry.

I know Amanda's mom, I have worked with a Anti-bullying program that came about in the aftermath of this horrible tragedy.

Facebook did not kill Amanda; depression, bullying, sadness and feeling there was nowhere to turn did. *guttural growl*
