Oh, my gosh. I saw this video.

Oh, Amanda Todd.

I heard about her.

Oh, no. She flashed them. Watch out.

Okay, that's pretty-- not right. That's pretty creepy.

Okay, that's really creepy.

See, now this is cyberbullying.

What a jerk.

♪ I never said thank you for that ♪

♪ I thought I might get one more chance ♪

Dude, this is serious.

Oh, this is just taking it to a whole new level.

Then those aren't true friends, girl.

Yeah, the video itself wasn't what got to me.

What got to me was the people in the comments.

That really pissed me off.

♪ Now I'll never have a chance ♪

♪ May angels... ♪

♪ (Sia Furler, "Breathe Me") ♪

Dude, that is really (bleep) up.

I would try to help if I had the chance to.

People are cruel, man.

People are disgusting.

I'm sorry.

(FineBros) No, don't apologize.

So, had you heard about Amanda Todd before watching this?

- Yes, I've seen that video. - Mm-hmm.

I had heard about Amanda Todd.

No.

(FineBros) Do you know what happened to her

after this was posted?

She killed herself, didn't she?

- Yeah, she committed suicide. - No.

(FineBros) She actually killed herself

about a month after this video went up.

Are you serious?

(FineBros) She ended up committing suicide.

And how does it make you feel hearing this story

and knowing that that happened?

It's kind of speechless shocked.

I feel like she made two little mistakes, and that's not fair.

That type of stuff gets to me,

and I'm not a very emotional person at all.

She felt like her life was that bad to where she killed herself.

You know, and...

I wish I could just talk to her.

It makes me feel like crap. Like...

everything bad I've ever done to people,

like, everything bad I've ever said to somebody,

it makes me feel like that really had a bad effect.

She's so Internet-famous now and whatever,

yet other kids who have killed themselves

for better reasons than that. Like...

like no one gives a (bleep) about them, you know?

(FineBros) And what do you think

of the guy that blackmailed her?

I think he should go to jail. That's, like, child pornography.

He's a grown man. He shouldn't be picking on some teenage girl.

That's pretty (bleep) up, knowing that you killed some girl.

How could you deal with that?

He should be arrested for the rest of his life.

(FineBros) And how do you think people that were tormenting her

- feel now that she's done this? - I don't know.

Because I never understood,

why would they treat her like that in the first place?

I hope they feel really horrible.

I hope they feel like this for the rest of their lives.

"Man, why did I do that to her? Why did I hurt her like that?

She's gone now. What have I done?"

If they don't feel that way,

then that means they don't have a heart.

It just depends on the person, how big their pride is.

It's like if they let themselves feel guilty.

I don't think they're going to entirely stop doing it.

People still bully even after terrible things happen.

(FineBros) There's still people leaving comments like,

"I'm glad she's dead and she deserved it."

- Why are people doing that? - I don't know.

When is she gonna see this?

Are you just doing it for your own pleasure?

They just want a reaction,

and that's what they really feed off of.

People like to talk big on the Internet.

Well, I mean, I've seen comments like that

just on YouTube comments for the videos,

like, "Oh, yeah, this guy should kill himself."

It's another form of cyberbullying

that needs to be monitored by parents,

and it's the parents' fault.

They have no repercussions for what they do on the Internet.

They can say anything,

and that's why people leave horrible comments on these videos.

They feel like nothing bad is gonna happen to them.

It's 'cause it doesn't.

(FineBros) What do you think should happen to the people

that would leave comments like this on people's pages?

There's not much to do, you know?

They should have their accounts revoked.

They should just have their comment box removed.

Something should happen to them,

like some form of punishment,

but the reality is nothing is gonna happen.

How are they gonna catch all those people?

Kids find a way around everything.

I think that these websites should be shut down.

You can't blame them that this is happening.

They have no control over it,

but they're providing the resources to let it happen.

(FineBros) And what about the rest of what she went through,

how she had to keep transferring schools,

but the bullying followed her everywhere?

Man, people are cruel.

I feel so bad for her.

I can't even imagine the feeling

of not being about to escape something.

High school students, you know, they feel weak,

so they pick on people weaker than them

so they can at least have some power,

and they find an easy target

like someone who already has past problems,

and they make it worse without realizing that

that has very bad consequences.

(FineBros) Some people have said

that she deserves some of what happened to her

because of the choices that she made.

- What do you think about that? - Well, everyone makes mistakes.

All these mean-hearted people are over here like,

"She deserved it." No, she didn't.

You can justify what they're saying,

but, at the same time, it's like, calm down.

Just give the girl a little bit of respect and decency.

She's just a kid. She doesn't really know any better.

The whole point in life is you're gonna learn by messing up,

and if she keeps messing up and you keep telling her,

"Oh, you're never gonna get better,"

she's gonna start to think that life's never gonna get better.

(FineBros) At any point during her going through all of this,

what do you think could have been done to help her?

She just really needed a friend.

Somebody could've stood up for her.

I would've stood up for her.

Her friends could not have abandoned her.

Just accept the fact that they did it and be their friend again.

In school, they want you to talk to your teachers,

the principal, your parents,

but it's tough finding someone who can actually understand,

because they're not going through it. You are.

(FineBros) Do you have any personal experience

- with being bullied or teased? - Yeah.

In middle school, I was in theater. I was a theater kid.

People would call it "gay."

Even if I was gay, which I'm not, but it's like, even if I was,

how would my sexual orientation affect you in the slightest?

Now that "gay" has become a slur, it's just another hateful thing

that people can say to hurt a person,

even though it really shouldn't be.

I've been made fun of in school for a lot of things,

called "gay," "short," "stupid," "ugly."

Racist remarks sometimes.

I used to be kinda overweight back then,

and people used to call me "fat" and stuff.

As a kid, I was really--

I was just trying to fit in so hard,

because I didn't really have any friends.

They saw that I was trying hard, and they just kinda...

like, dismissed me.

And then, because they did that,

I started getting really mean to everyone.

It was around seventh and eighth grade.

None of the boys would date me

because they said I had the body of an eight-year-old little boy.

And I laugh about it now because--

I also cry about it too.

I couldn't help it, you know? It's just...

It's just mean how they would even say that.

When I got to high school, stuff about boys didn't really matter.

But stuff online got a little bit worse.

You're gonna have it your whole life

no matter what shape or form it is.

I don't get picked on anymore,

but then I see people who pick on other people,

and at one point in my life,

I also went through an amount of depression,

and I managed to get through it.

Seeing stuff like that,

knowing that I've been through it at one point in my life,

it really pisses me off.

Karma will bite them in the ass one day,

and it'll be awesome. (chuckles)

(FineBros) What do you do to keep yourself going

- and not let it get you down? - Well, I mean, it hurts,

but I don't make a big deal about it.

I just kind of keep it inside,

and then write about it so I can get out my emotions.

I mean, writing is a great tool.

You just talk about how you feel to yourself.

I'm glad I have my mom and my dad, because they help me a lot.

As much as a lot of kids hate to go to their parents,

your parents know what they're talking about.

I just kind of ignored it. Like, I know life's gonna get better.

Four years is just a tiny percent of your life.

I usually just make a joke out of it.

I don't need to fit in, you know? I don't care about you guys.

I'm gonna go off on my own

and do my own thing that makes me happy.

High school is awful,

and I'm always going to remember it as awful,

but it's something I'm going to get past, and I'm fine with that.

(FineBros) And why do some teens end up considering suicide

as the answer when this bullying happens to them?

They feel like they have no hope left. No friends.

Nothing else to live for, I guess.

As opposed to letting yourself cry

and letting yourself feel those emotions, it's just done.

You can just end it yourself.

This is the biggest majority of their life,

it's all they remember,

and they think their life is never gonna get better,

'cause this is all they know, so they end it.

With the Internet posts on Facebook, Twitter, anything,

it gets around.

It will start at the school, it will spread through the school,

then it will go to the Internet and it will spread to everybody.

When people say things just out loud,

people will eventually forget about it,

but if it's on the Internet, so many people see it so fast.

It just stacks on top of each other, and it doesn't go away.

And then they try to talk to adults about it,

and then the adults just try to brush it off

like nothing's really wrong, so they feel like there's no hope.

(FineBros) Some adults say that bullying has always been there

and it's just kids being kids. What do you think about that?

I mean, I kinda think bullying has gotten overrated.

What are they thinking? Oh, my God.

They shouldn't be telling their kids that.

It's not like a rite of passage that you pass through,

'cause, like Amanda Todd, you can take your own life.

It's a serious topic. It's not kids being kids.

Bullying should be something presented in Congress.
