I'm not saying it's all because of ask.fm hate but what I'm saying is, I think the hate is what drove her to finally doing it. I mean, she obviously had problems as she cut herself as seeked advice, as stated in the news report but still.

What do you guys think of this tragic article? Do you think ask.fm is to blame? Or her for not turning anon off or whatever?

I have an ask.fm account myself, I haven't been on it in ages though. I never got hateful questions but people I know have, which brings me to think on why they can't just delete their account if it's lowering their self esteem and seek advice elsewhere.

Thoughts?

I very quickly got bored of it to be honest. I didn't delete my account though but I turned anon messages off as I came back to find loads of spammy spam bots with questions and then if someone wants to give me hate, I doubt it though... it will have their name by the question! ;)

It's pretty sad, but it seems like she didn't do much to get help about her bullying problem.

True. It just made matters worse for her.

One of my friends got really bad hate a few years ago. She deleted her account though.

Yeah, hate's one thing, but you have to blame her as well. She knows she could of deleted her account, or go to her parents or police.

This website I knew was going to be trouble the first time I heard about it. It is so awful that many girls have already felt the need to take their own lives because of this site and yet the owners of the site even though they are helping the police do not seem too concerned. A lot of these people are in it for the money though half the time which is a crying shame.

My thoughts go out to the families who have lost daughters because of these cruel sick people who hide behind their keyboards and monitors insulting others without any real though for how it affects others.

Do you know that is something that hardly ever gets mentioned and it does make me wonder why as they are no different to girls just different sex.

I certainly do hope that they do name and shame people that do these kind of things, it may prevent further abuse causing people to kill themselves.

I wouldn't blame ask.fm for this. Trying my best to not sound like an ass but, something has to have happened or not happened for a person to believe they should kill them self based on the opinions of completely random people. You can't blame a site for the death of someone just because individual users harassed somebody. Also, it's not like she was required to use it. You also can't blame a site for the state of mind that this girl was in. Which was obviously very unique for her to kill herself over this.
