So if someone you knew was to kill themselves tonight, would you consider them a victim of bullying or would you consider yourself a victim of their suicide?
I know how stupid that sounds because I feel like I wrote it in a weird way, but it's a point that I constantly see thrown out there. For example, when Amanda Todd killed herself she was a victim of bullying, but from that point on she was gone, and the definition of victim is "A person harmed, injured, or killed as a result of a crime, accident, or other event or action."
From the point where she killed herself and onward, she was not a victim, because she was no longer human, she was dead. A person is a person until they are dead, at which point they meet Dumbledore in King's Cross Station. He gives them a choice, catch a train to the next life, or go back. But because she was a Death Eater in training Dumbledore abandoned her, leaving her to sit in that station with nothing but her thoughts. So who was the real victim in the end? Amanda Todd. She was a victim of afterlife abandonment. So in the end she killed herself because everyone hated her and she wanted an escape, but nobody likes her in the afterlife either.
So, Flood, what are your thoughts on this? do you agree with my points? Explain what's going through your head after reading that.
