Last month Canadian teen Amanda Todd posted a heart-wrenching YouTube video (above) sharing her story of being bullied both on and off the Internet. On Wednesday night, the 15-year-old Vancouver-area teen was found dead. ” Today authorities confirmed that she took her own life.

Todd created her video, titled “My Story: Struggling, bullying, suicide and self harm,” by writing down her tragic story on cue cards, and then sharing them, one sentence at a time. She remains completely silent.

Her powerful video tells the tragic story of a teen who was bullied at school and online ever since middle school. She shares how an anonymous Facebook user pressured her to share a naked photo of herself and how the video was circulated all over online. She reveals that she was depressed, drinking too much, taking drugs, hurting herself.
