For the second time this month a young girl has killed herself over "bulling". First it was Amanda Todd, and today it is Felicia Garcia. Both tragic stories - and a testament to the dehumanization of social media. But what do these girls both have in common besides killing themselves after being "bullied"?
Let's examine: Amanda Todd preformed "flash shows" and masturbation shows for male classmates via Skype and slept with popular boys that she was aware had girlfriends in her class. And by several accounts she had contracted and spread HPV (Genital warts). She hung herself after being tormented by classmates for it.
Felicia Garcia had sex with Four football players at a party while it was being photographed (videoed). She jumped in front to a train after being harassed for her sexual behavior by classmates.
So bulling (slut-shaming) lead to 2 deaths. The question arises is do sexual mores in society need to be readjusted or is there a need to teach people that you will be judged and held accountable for your actions by your peers? Where is the failure?
