A sad story is trending on Twitter this morning in Vancouver.
#RIPAMANDA is spreading on the social media site after it appears the teen was severely bullied at school and took her own life.
It started when a 15-year-old girl named Amanda posted a video on YouTube.
She flips through index cards, telling about how she was tormented by bullies because of two separate incidents.
She says she sank into depression and moved schools several times, but the taunts, threats and names kept up.
Amanda says at one point, a group of teens at school shouted at her that nobody liked her, and then she was punched.
Today, many people are posting on Twitter she has committed suicide and they are sending condolences to a Facebook memorial page.
A discussion has also begun with #RIPAMANDA about bullying’s deep and awful effects, and how it has to stop.
School officials have spoken to CKNW about her death, but have yet to officially comment.
