Note to reader: I know that this is an old story however I just found out about it from a YouTube video I happened to come across that talked about it(I personally disagree with the message and way that video was done so I will not be talking about it).
I feel personally moved to share my own personal story about my own experience with something like what happened to Amanda. I am NOT trying to say that they are the exact same I am just trying to show that it happened to me too and to say that if you ever go/are currently going through something similar please know that you are not alone. I am here if you need to talk to someone, just comment on this post. If you don’t want to talk to me then please talk to someone. YOUR LIFE MATTERS, SUICIDE IS NEVER EVER EVER THE ANSWER. A link to a video about Amanda ‘ s story
Dear reader I was/have been a victim of cyber bullying and stalking(as well as real life bullying because of my chair) I have had to take a website/blog down before due to rape threats I have gotten, I didn’t even show pics of myself, the guy just said multiple times on the posts (I had it open to anyone to comment on, here people have to be a member of WordPress to comment or give an email when they do so which I feel like gives me at least a bit more protection so I can have something to show to the authorities if I ever have to) that he wanted to rape me because I was in a chair and can’t run away.
I have also been stalked a few years ago by a man who messaged me once on plenty of fish . Com. I made the mistake of giving him my email address because he seemed nice he used that to stalk me by phone I was unaware that my phone number was somehow connected to my email(I fixed the problem now)(from a pingger account so that it was always different numbers) he eventually said in a text what my street name was. Thankfully he never found me.
He asked me for pics for about 6 months to a year. I begged him to leave me alone(and yes he knew I am disabled from my pof profile) and explained the effect of the situation on my health I wasn’t sleeping I had nightmares. Thankfully he eventually went away.
He and other bullies are the reason why I don’t do online dating anymore and why I don’t post pictures of my face or say my name on here.
I am SO very thankful that EVERYONE WHO HAS COMMENTED ON HERE SO FAR OVER THE PAST ALMOST 3 YEARS SINCE I’VE HAD THIS BLOG UP HAS BEEN KIND AND LOVING WHICH MEANS THE WORLD TO ME.
I can only imagine how it would hurt to have this happen as a teenager. My heart breaks for Amanda, her family, and her friends.
Again I just want to say dear reader that you are not alone and that you matter to the world and to me and please keep your head up ♡.
