The only ask.fms I have seen are either super sexual or bullying central. I don't think they should be shutting the website down because of this, teenagers know what that site is about.

It's a shame this girl took her life though, maybe more education about how to avoid online bullying should be available idk. I usually don't have sympathy for people who are bullied on these sites because it's easy to close your account or avoid bad questions, but regardless RIP and hope you're in a better place.

Once someone starts getting abused they should just delete their account, it's really that simple.

As sad as this is, all I can think about places around the world where life is so much worse. As many have said on this thread, no blame can go on ask.fm. You should expect abuse going on a site like that - don't like it? Then don't login? Delete your account?

I don't think this has anything to do with ask.fm but if it is down to that what a stupid thing to end your life over.

It's really really sad. She looked really beautiful, and I'm sure she had a lot going for her!
It's tragic that people feel that they have to take their life because of horrible trolls like this!

RIP x

I honestly don't see the appeal of ask.fm, so you sign up to get questions from people you already know (80% of the time) who could just ask you in person. But by signing up, you must already know that people get abuse and that they're going to get some form of hate. But I've never agreed with people killing themselves over some text, I get abuse every day at school about being "gay", and that's face to face, but I don't kill myself over it. People that kill themselves are obviously already unstable (as in they have issues with confidence and depression and stuff) and then abuse on ask.fm or whatever is what tips them over the edge.

I believe people were saying "facebook should respond to bullying more seriously" a few years ago? But people soon realised that only a small minority of people were being abused and bullied on facebook. Honestly, people need to grow up and stop using it if they can't handle abuse.

EDIT: Just heard of Good Morning that she went on ask.fm to ask for tips about her eczema. What the ****?
"I have a problem with my self image, I better go on a website known for bullying to ask for tips." And people wonder why they get hate? I realise they shouldn't have to get hate but a quick google search about eczema would give her tips, but instead she went on a website where trolls can give anonymous hate!

[Chug!]

are you saying that if she was ugly then it wouldnt matter that much

Nope! Not at all!

I didn't mean it in that way at all!

I was just saying. D:

It is tragic at whoever feels that this is their only option. Looks has nothing to do with it. It was just a comment.
