But those !@$#^^ still need to learn! Um, I'm afraid I didn't hear that story. Could you please tell it to me? . On September 7, 2012, Todd posted a 9-minute  YouTube  video entitled My Story: Struggling, bullying, suicide and self harm, which showed her using a series of  flash cards  to tell of her experiences being bullied. The video post went viral, receiving over 1,600,000 views by October 13, 2012, [9]  with online newspapers around the world linking to it. [10]

During the video, Todd writes that when she was in Grade 7 she used video chat  to meet new people over the Internet and she received compliments on her looks. A stranger convinced Todd to bare her breasts on camera. The individual later blackmailed her with threats to expose the topless photo to her friends unless she gave a "show".[11]

Todd wrote that during the next Christmas break, police informed her at 4:00 am that the photo was circulating the Internet. Todd wrote that she experienced anxiety , depression, and panic disorder because of this. Her family moved to a new home, where Todd later stated that she began using drugs and alcohol.<span class="fake_link" style="max-height:999999px;color:rgb(0,51,204);border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-color:rgb(153,153,255);cursor:pointer;" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_of_Amanda_Todd#cite_note-CNNVideo-11">[11]

<p style="max-height:999999px;font-family:'OpenSans',Verdana,'LucidaGrande','LucidaSansUnicode',Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14.44444465637207px;">A year later, the individual reappeared, creating a Facebook profile which used the topless photograph as the profile image, and contacting classmates at her new school. Again Todd was teased, eventually changing schools for a second time. She wrote that she began chatting to "an old guy friend" who appeared to her. The friend asked Todd to come to his house where they had sex while his girlfriend was on holiday.<span class="fake_link" style="max-height:999999px;color:rgb(0,51,204);border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-color:rgb(153,153,255);cursor:pointer;" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_of_Amanda_Todd#cite_note-12">[12]  The following week, the girlfriend and a group of others attacked Todd at school while shouting insults and punching her to the ground. Following the attack, Todd attempted suicide by drinking bleach, but she was rushed to hospital to have her stomach pumped.<span class="fake_link" style="max-height:999999px;color:rgb(0,51,204);border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-color:rgb(153,153,255);cursor:pointer;" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_of_Amanda_Todd#cite_note-CNNVideo-11">[11]

<p style="max-height:999999px;font-family:'OpenSans',Verdana,'LucidaGrande','LucidaSansUnicode',Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14.44444465637207px;">After returning home, Todd discovered abusive messages about her failed suicide attempt posted to Facebook. Her family moved to another city to start afresh, but Todd was unable to escape the past. According to her mother, "Every time she moved schools he would go undercover and become a Facebook friend. What the guy did was he went online to the kids who went to (the new school) and said that he was going to be a new student — that he was starting school the following week and that he wanted some friends and could they friend him on Facebook. He eventually gathered people’s names and sent Amanda’s video to her new school", including students, teachers, and parents.<span class="fake_link" style="max-height:999999px;color:rgb(0,51,204);border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-color:rgb(153,153,255);cursor:pointer;" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_of_Amanda_Todd#cite_note-13">[13]  Six months later further messages and abuse were still being posted to social networking sites. Her mental state worsening, she began to engage in <span class="fake_link" style="max-height:999999px;color:rgb(0,51,204);border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-color:rgb(153,153,255);cursor:pointer;" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-harm">self-mutilation. Despite taking anti-depressants and receiving counselling, she took an overdose and spent two days in hospital.<span class="fake_link" style="max-height:999999px;color:rgb(0,51,204);border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-color:rgb(153,153,255);cursor:pointer;" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_of_Amanda_Todd#cite_note-14">[14]
