Tragedy as a girl, 15, kills herself just one month after posting desperate YouTube plea begging bullies to stop tormenting her

The 15-year-old Canadian girl was found dead Wednesday night, just weeks after posting a video about her battle with cyber bullies.

The details surrounding Amanda Todd's death have not been released, but it is suspected to be suicide.

On September 7, Amanda posted a nearly nine-minute YouTube video where she tells the story of her repeated harassment by bullies on a series of notecards.

In the video, she admitted that she had previously tried to kill herself twice.

Shame on all the maniacs as well as FB and any other social media networks "sponsoring" such terrible acts!

all is about how we do choose to see things, to interprete and so on .... Much might seem illusive for someone but can be very real for someone else! I also think .... it might be about "Limited nonations" - Since I think even "nobodies" might be somebodies in one or an other context! Walls and walls .... The biggest walls are those (sometimes such kind of checkpoints, lines or any other limitating obstacles) we do create for ourselves and between each ..... Just trying to keep as free as I possibly can within a decent and responsible "liberty"!

Bricks and bricks to build walls and there are good bricks and bad bricks ... So for good and sustainable walls it is very important to choose the right bricks, have the right talks and take the right walks!

So what Am I? What Are We? Walls and walls ... Who to blame? Blame me, blame you, blame US! It is the only reasonable option to restore and save what might be possible to save ....

According to a study conducted by University of North Carolina, tender hugs reduce blood pressure which is one of the main risk factors to heart disease.

The study showed that hugs increases levels of the hormone oxytocin, sometimes referred to as the “love hormone”, which is best known for its roles in sexual reproduction.

The hormone of oxytocin triggers a “caring” or “bonding” response in both men and women, added the study.

The study explained that a daily dose of oxytocin mainly stimulated from hugging can help protect human beings from heart diseases and reduce stress.

Women seem to benefit more than men do from hugging as explained by the second phase of the University of North Carolina study.

“Male heart patients with good marriages stay healthier than do those living with conflict,” confirmed Brian Baker, University of Toronto psychiatrist, in his study on how marriage affects men’s hearts.

There is no doubt that hugs are reassuring, making the couple feel the warmth sensations and comfort, particularly when the hugs are exchanged by couples who share special feelings of love and strong emotions.

It is obvious that hugging pleases everyone and assures feelings of comfort and security when it is emotionally shared; since it is free and has proved healthy, people may need to hug their loved ones regularly.
