Amanda made a video about her story to inspire people, but her last words on the video were “ I have nobody...I need someone :(“ (lybio.net 1). She was a strong her and faced what happened to her head on, but she should be alive today. Kids should not be posting comments like “I hope she dies this time” while sending her pictures of clorox (lybio.net 1). Teachers should have watched out for her and prevented the fights. Police should have shut down the website and delete the comments. What Amanda got was unacceptable and awful, no one
