13-Year-Old Girl Kills Herself After Being Cyber Bullied On SnapChat And Instagram

Faith Hindle

Pretty 13-year-old Faith Hindle of Manchester, England committed suicide after being told “just kill yourself” and “just do it” by users of the social networking websites SnapChat and Instagram. In the past the young girl posted about being depressed, but was “laughing and joking” that day, being in a good mood. However, some heartless social networking users encouraged her to kill herself.

Sometimes it becomes a contest to see who can say and write the most savage things on social networking. Savage comments sometimes get a significant amount of likes. I think people who encourage others to commit suicide should be arrested. It should become international law. It’s stunning how some try to push others into suicide, throwing the idea around like it is something trivial, when it is a terrible, life altering event for those left to pick up the pieces from their loved ones’ deaths.

People who encourage others to commit suicide should also be permanently banned from social networking. You never know who is reading nasty comments encouraging others to commit suicide, if they are at a low point in life and that the negative messages will be the thing that pushes them over the edge.

I challenge you on social networking, if you see someone sending a comment to another person to commit suicide, send the person being targeted a kind word of encouragement NOT to take their life. Then report the offender’s page for a terms of service violation, citing the fact they sent statements to another person encouraging them to commit suicide. When you see it, act quickly. Don’t wait. You never know how bad someone might be feeling.

People on social networking should not tolerate a hateful, pro-suicide environment. Do your part to make it safer for everyone by speaking up and reporting abusive people trying to push others into suicide. You could save a life in doing so.

She had appeared to be in good spirits before her death, with her heartbroken dad saying she was "laughing and joking all day long". Now, the youngster's loved ones have asked police to investigate after she was urged to "just do it" by some "abusive" social media users.

Her father Lee Hindle told the Manchester Evening News: "I still expect to see her - to give her a kiss and stuff. Christmas is going to be really hard." "Normally I would be taking her shopping, getting her whatever she wants. Nobody expects to be planning a 13-year-old's funeral." Hours before her death, Faith had reportedly kissed her mum goodbye, telling her she would be spending the night with her dad...
