Amanda Michelle "Manda" Todd † (November 27, 1996 – October 10, 2012 [aged 15]),https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/128393627/amanda-michelle-todd better known online as TheSomebodytoknow, was a Canadian teen who committed suicide after being bullied and harassed for two years.
==Death==
In 2009, Amanda created an account on BlogTV. Later, during the winter break of 2010, Amanda went on her account and flashed her breasts in front of her viewers. An adult saw her flash and snapped a picture. On December 24, 2010, Amanda’s mother, Carol Todd, got a warning on Facebook that Amanda was now being blackmailed into giving more nude pictures.
In the Spring of 2011, Amanda was warned by her blackmailer that he would post the image of her flashing if she didn’t “put on a show for him.” In early autumn of 2011, Amanda’s school was alerted of Amanda being blackmailed. In October of 2011, Amanda got yet another blackmail threat.
On September 6, 2012, Amanda created her YouTube account, TheSomebodytoknow. The next day, on September 7, 2012, Amanda uploaded a video called My story: Struggling, bullying, suicide, self-harm. In this video, she told the story of her bullying. On October 3, 2012, Amanda uploaded a more light-hearted video called Cover of Outside Looking In by Jordan Pruitt.
On October 10, 2012, Amanda Todd committed suicide by hanging.
