>Brandy Vela, 18, shot herself in front of her parents after being relentlessly cyberbullied. The Texas teen, who was described by her school as well-liked and friendly, was buried December 7. By Friday, someone had opened a social media page in her memory, but it was quickly filled with disturbing posts about her; the cyberbullying literally following her to the grave.
>"Two days after her funeral, somebody opened up a social media page in her name," Vela said, "and people thought the family did it, so it started with people putting sincere condolences. After a few minutes, either four people or the same person posting four times said some things harassing Brandy about being a big fat cow, writing 'you finally did it' with a picture of a gun, writing 'you're a coward,' 'you should have done this a long time ago,' some really horrific things."
>Vela can't change what happened to his daughter, so he's trying to persuade state lawmakers to increase restrictions on social media, making it harder for cyberbullies to stay anonymous.
Well she looks pudgy in your photos there so I'd say they had a point.

>bullying in real life is fine >BUT NOT THE CYBERBULLYING, it's not like you can just not read the shit online.

just make cyberbullying a crime and require all social media by law to require you full address, birth certificate and full personal details.
Don't want to do that? Don't use social media then.
Be silent
Michael Jenkins
beautiful latina qt. would have shown her much love.
Josiah Ramirez
I doubt that would stop kids from broadcasting their bullshit all over the internet.
Austin Ramirez
did Sup Forums do this?
Carson Morgan
this is why mexico doesnt have a 1st amendment.
stupid spics like her would vote against it in mexico.
Christian Bailey

Is that the warlock Styxx? Peace out
Angel Anderson
The make the internet illegal for under 18s
Stop letting kids be immune to the law. Put them in jail.
Mason Adams
una vela....
Landon Bell
what a cute latina, shame she killed her self
Owen Mitchell
Have to jail a lot of kids. This girl was likely already extremely unstable. Normal people don't commit suicide after getting bullied. Even extended amounts of bullying. She had something else going on.
Joseph Martin
>going online without being anonymous ishygddt
Blake Murphy
>giving a suicide any sympathy
Honestly, I wouldn't even attend my own mother's funeral if she killed herself
Not that I don't love my mother, its just i have such contempt for people who end their own life that I wouldn't even care for my mom if she pulled that shit, let alone some random sow
Tyler Moore
woah holy fuck are you some kind of beast or something?
Nicholas Hughes
Yeah I don't mess anything my name is attached to online. I'm not even much of a troll, I just prefer anonymous or at least psuedo-anonymous/handles.
Eli Ortiz
Man you're so edgy, good for you and your virgin status
Oliver Gray
I remember the most important thing we were taught is to never use your real name, address, etc. while on the internet.
What the hell happened to this idea, was it because of myspace and faceberg? There is zero benefit to putting your information out there
Dylan Watson
LOL you'll just create a generation of extremely savvy kids who will find ways to bypass that
you're suggesting we create a new prison system solely for kids?
Caleb Smith
This. Sympathizing with suicides only create emulation.
Jacob Ward
I would be surprised if Sup Forums didn't.
Jackson Rogers
Should point out to lawmakers that it's going to be mostly girls who hey caught up in any kind of cyberbullying shit. Then they won't pass it, unless they add some rider that it's men only i guess.
Evan Jackson
>get called a fat cow by people on the internet >kill yourself
couldn't she just ignore them? or block them?
William Phillips
Not trying to be edgy, but, is it really that big of a deal if someone doesn't want to live anymore? I feel like it should be their right to end it if it is too painful to live on.
Nathan Sanders
This. Unless you go through some absolute horrors, like extreme disfigurement, terminal illness, PTSD, etc, suicide is just a final cry for attention. It could almost always be worse and it can almost always get better.
Lucas Nelson
Make it a crime to bypass a law
The kids responsible should be banned from all future careers, kicked out of education and forced to work minimum wage, and have all lottery winning confiscated
Hunter Gutierrez
good. suicide is the coward's way out. fuck that bitch. if i see her grave i'm going to take a fat dump on it.
Jack Barnes
lol no, opinions of the people around you are literally the most important thing in the world.
Asher Bell
as long as they pay off all outstanding debts first
Jack Rivera
Dam it, stupids fagots these days don't bully face to face. Remember, kill the problem, not yourself.
Luis Parker
Nice quads
Ethan Taylor
So edgy and unoriginal. Why kill yourself over such pathetic attempts at trolling. What a dumb girl.
Bentley Garcia
Being bullied while buried 6ft under.
I'm sure its the worms that are bullying her into decomposition
KEK
Evan Young
Agree and checked
She wouldn't have lasted long if she killed herself because of this. As usual she probably had other issues but they are hidding them
Brayden Perez
I went to school with a kid who was bullied every second of his school going life.
She had tools to block them, ignore them, unfriend them, or sign off. This kid had to look people in the face while they called him a piece of shit and kicked his ass. He made it through school and is a functioning member of society.
She was weak. She would have married a shitty man, produced shitty children, and would have had a divorce. Afterwards, the government would support her and the rest of her bloodline would have been government leeches.
Josiah Ward
Seriously, if you committed suicide because some people said true things about you(she WAS fat), then you were weak and you needed to be culled for the good of the human race. Good thing she didn't reproduce. This seems like a case of natural selection working as intended.
Hudson Edwards
>psychopath detected

this, depression is a fake illness
Mason Edwards
You can't walk on the street without visible identification....

brandy vela, must've come from a tejano family
Aiden Robinson
Was about to say
Noah Moore
Funny thing. People who have such visceral reactions against things like suicide, faggotry, the like, usually have some unresolved problems in the area themselves. That's one bit of pop psychology that's largely true.
In short, I think you're depressed and fight against your own self-destructive urges by lashing out against people who did what you are afraid you might one day do.
Its ok to be suicidal user. Really, it is.
Joshua Bell
Nigga Just Walk Away From The Screen Like Nigga Close Your Eyes Haha
Julian Young
Don't be fat. Fat people are disgusting and should be bullied.
