What we have learned about the 'never-ending' story that belongs to Amanda ...Amanda would have wanted everyone to know how much she hurt emotionally and how what happened to her also hurts thousands of other children and youth each day.
Amanda wasn't able to stop the abusive behaviours happening to her but it was her dream to make things better for others. She felt that by sharing her story, others would be able to hear what she went through in her own words. So in the summer of 2012, she created a video that shared her story to others. Watch Amanda's original YouTube video here - My story: Struggling, Bullying, Suicide, Self Harm. It is important to be able to recognize the signs that someone is in need of assistance and to be there to listen and support. If you know someone that is struggling, always be that supportive person and help that person find the supports needed.

Anyone can be that voice by taking just a few minutes to learn more about bullying, cyberabuse, online safety and mental health.
I'm struggling to stay in this world, because everything just touches me so deeply. I'm not doing this for attention. I'm doing this to be an inspiration and to show that I can be strong. I did things to myself to make pain go away, because I'd rather hurt myself then someone else. Haters are haters but please don't hate, although I’m sure I'll get them. I hope I can show you guys that everyone has a story, and everyone's future will be bright one day, you just gotta pull through. I'm still here aren't I ?”

Amanda had a dream of helping kids, and through Carol's efforts, this dream has become a reality.
By speaking up about bullying, cyber abuse, internet safety and mental health, we know that Education & Awareness is being added to a landscape that will bring together the conversations needed to break the cycle of harm to others. |
Words for sharing ...."This legacy has been created in memory of Amnda Todd. We havesurrounded her and the world with SNOWFLAKES so that others can see the individuality of humans and how beautiful each one is." ~ Carol Todd " As you go forward in the days and months ahead consider carefully what and how much can be done. Amanda’s legacy should be one that teaches awareness and that our society will only succeed via tolerance, compassion, community, and forgiveness. It takes a village to raise a child. We are ALL that village." |
"As a caring human on our earth, when you see snowflakes fall from the sky, think of Amanda (aka Princess Snowflake) and all the others in the world that need us."
