Amanda Todd

In the past few days, there has been a story floating around about a girl by the name of Amanda Todd. I'm not sure if this story is true of made up, but it brings up a topic that is very touchy for some people. If you didn't already know, Amanda committed suicide because she was bullied. Amanda was on a video chat with a guy at her school, he convinced her to flash him. After he took a picture, he sent it out to the whole school. She was bullied to the point where she thought suicide was the only way out. This brings up a topic that is not acceptable, but still occurs in this world. Bullying. In this case, an innocent girl was pressured into something that she probably didn't want to do. Many girls are forced to do things all around the world every day. Some might include arranged marriage, rape or other such things. Girls are viewed as weak in many mens eyes. We are important and we can not take this anymore. Most of the time girls are victimized and we take the heat. This is just another reason why we need to achieve equality. We need our voice.
