yeah, and i feel kind of sorry for her at that, but honestly, i still think it was stupid of her to commit Self Delete because she was getting teased and stalked by ONE GUY. but why does THIS Self Delete get so much attention?
wasn't there a girl in afghanistan who got shot because she wanted to go to school? where's all the attention, crying and memorials of that? why does this certain thing have to gain so much attention while i'm pretty sure that someone commits Self Delete every day?
Because she did such a great job of explaining the feelings and motivation that led to her Self Delete. She made one stupid mistake and it followed her and made her life a living hell.
Someone posted a picture about why people shouldn't glorify this. In some ways, I agree, we shouldn't glorify this one girl. Incidents like this happen every day. That's the real problem. That's what needs attention. People find themselves in living hells, vicious cycles that are hard to escape on your own but nobody will come to get them out. If one person outside her imitate family had really tried hard to show that they didn't care about her past, they didn't see her as a screw-up, maybe she'd still be here. Maybe she'd become something great. But more than just her, maybe if people in general didn't haunt people with their pasts, give people second chances, help pull them out of the cycles, then maybe the problem would get better. Her lonely life, her situation, became a banner for this cause of pulling people out. Though it is common, it's something most people don't see to often, something kinda kept in the dark.
Long story short, the girl and her story aren't being glorified, they are drawing attention symbol of something we want to stop. A symbol is something we can rally behind, something we can use. It's something that can cause a change. And if stuff like this is happening every day, then that change is what we need.
