Amanda was a normal teen who made one mistake that impacted the rest of her life. She was using a webcam chat to meet new friends and showcase her singing skills. She met an anonymous “boy” online that she thought was somewhat her age. He convinced her to show her chest. Once she showed her chest he took a picture of it. He threatened her to show more, or he would show the picture to everyone. She refused and he kept his word. He sent the picture to the whole school.

It soon lead to depression, drugs, alcohol, and cutting. Her dad found her once laying in a ditch, saying “she wanted to die so bad”. When she got home, she drank bleach and had to go to the hospital to have her stomach pumped. She soon moved although the harassment started again.
