In 7th grade
I would go with friends
on webcam
got called stunning,
beautiful,
perfect
Then
wanted me to flash...
So I did....
Im stuck...
whats left of me now...
nothing stops
The girl and 2 others just said
look around
nobody likes you.
A guy than yelled
just punch her already
So she did..
Kids filmed it.
I was all alone
and left on the ground.
was on facebook –
She deserved it,
did you wash the mud out of your hair?
I felt like a joke in this world...
I thought
nobody deserves this :/
All from my past..
lifes never getting better..
cant go to school
meet or be with people...
constantly cutting.
Im really depressed.
I have nobody
I need someone
my name is Amanda Todd....

Author's note: I pondered for quite a while over whether or not to tidy up Amanda’s spelling and grammar. Finding the case for each option equally strong, I decided in the end to leave her text exactly as she wrote it.
