A slight departure from the normal today
“It’s never an insult to be called what somebody thinks is a bad name. It just shows you how poor that person is, it doesn’t hurt you.”
― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
In the news recently has been the tragic death of Amanda Todd I don't want to go into the details of her passing here or talk about the specifics of her case though I will touch on certain aspects.
Everybody has been touched by the sad story of Amanda Todd, and people are now beginning to come forward with their own experiences.
Here is just one, from the mighty pen of Paula Acton.
Thanks for reblogging I found that post of Paul Acton quite cathartic , and wrote her a long and rambling comment I hope she does not mind. Bless you xxxxx
I’m sure that Paula won’t mind in the slightest – and there’s no need to thank me

Another good and wise post. There’s actually quite a campaign going on in schools and things to try to get kids to report any behaviour online which they find threatening. One of my friends who works for O2 has been trained by them to go into schools to give presentations on how the kids can stay safe online, so that they can protect themselves and keep safe from these abusers.
