Video: 'My Story': Amanda Todd's YouTube video Add to ...

Bullied Coquitlam teenager Amanda Todd posted this video on YouTube on Sept. 7, 2012. She took her life over a month later on Oct. 10. "I'm struggling to stay in this world, because everything just touches me so deeply. I'm not doing this for attention," she wrote in the description for the video. "I'm doing this to be an inspiration and to show that I can be strong. I did things to myself to make pain go away, because I'd rather hurt myself then someone else. Haters are haters but please don't hate, although im sure I'll get them. I hope I can show you guys that everyone has a story, and everyones future will be bright one day, you just gotta pull through. I'm still here aren't I?"
