The girl who was bullied...

Today is a special day...
The day that someone commited suicide...

Now, you probably think; "What's so special about that?" 

Well, I will tell you...

The person who commited suicide was just a teenage girl.
That girl is Amanda Todd

This post is dedicated to this amazing person.

She posted a video on youtube called "My story: Struggling, bullying, suicide and self-harm"  
where she uses flash cards to tell her story. 

This is the link to her video


The flash cards she has been using in the video contains so much emotion.
I mean, I was touched by every word. 

I don't understand why this could happen. She was bullied a lot because of her "mistakes", 
but everyone makes mistakes right? No one is perfect.
She deserved a second chance, but no one gave it to her...

The thing that bother me the most is, 
Why didn't anyone helped her, support her, comfort her... 

She was a young, beautfull girl who didn't get the chance to live the fullest of her life, 
and that makes me sad...

Her mother, Carol has established the Amanda Todd Trust, Where she receives donations to support anti-bullying awareness education. 

Amanda Todd

Those we love don't go away, They walk beside us everyday.

We love you...

Rest In Peace, Amanda Todd.

Inspiration

              So you're probably wondering why my link name of my blog is called "ashafanclub"

Okay, 
I am really bad at coming up with names. 

 So I thought about the first blogger that I have been following.
+Asha Cuthbert is that blogger.

She inspired me to write my own blog.
So I'd like to thank her for that.

 I have to say; It's fun to put my thoughts in it. 
Although its difficult for me to know how to write this correctly.

But how did I know about her?

Well, a video caught my attention a year ago.
It was a video from Asha speaking in cantonese (Chinese) 

I thought;

She looks like a white girl to me, but why can she speak cantonese?

It was really fun to watch her speaking cantonese, because I had never seen a white person speaking it before. Plus I did understand what she was talking about.

In one of her other videos, she explained that she is a mixed race between asian and western.
She has been living in Hong Kong for a long time. So that's why she can speak it.

She has also videos in which she speaks english, so if you only know english, you can watch some of her videos. 
her youtube channel is gcmeanslove.

But back to the blog.

Her blog is really fun to read. So you should definitely go read it.

Changed

Many things has happened in my life. 


I'm so grateful for having amazing friends. 
I don't know what to do without them. 
they helped me through tough times, even when my parents didn't.

My parents divorced years ago. That was a big shock in my life. I wasn't prepared for it, 

so I cried... 
I cried....... 
I cried a lot.

 My parents didn't know what to do with it. They just fight with each other. 
But its over now.

It has changed me...


There were good times, and there were bad times. The truth is, I used to hide from my past. 
But now, I've realised that the world isn't going to stop for me. 

I have to move on.

One parent at a time...

 I guess I have to live with it, so be it.
