A Vancouver area teen who told a heart-breaking story in a YouTube video of cyberbullying that led to an all-out schoolyard attack has committed suicide.

In stories and posts flooding Vancouver's social media networks, #RIPAmanda is trending as people post news and condolences for the teen, Amanda Todd. Amanda died in Coquitlam last night.

The young teen went to school in Maple Ridge but had changed schools and was living in Coquitlam. She joined YouTube on September 6 and posted her video Sept. 7.

YouTube today pulled this video and in its place, written that is was removed because it violates YouTube's terms of service.

On Sept. 7, Amanda also uploaded a presentation Cyber Bullying on Prezi in which she explains what cyberbullying is and gives advice on dealing with it.

In what could turn out to be her own very sad legacy, Todd urged people to stand up to bullies and to help their victims:

"If you see that someone is being bullied, don't be afraid to tell the bully to stop doing what they are doing. Make sure to tell them that it's wrong and that they shouldn't bully other kids."

To parents, Amanda urged them "to always give your child emotional support" and help them if they are being bullied.

Amanda was a Grade 10 student at an alternative high school in Coquitlam called CABE (Coquitlam Basic Alternative Education), which has approximately 200 students in Grades 10 to 12.

The school district sent grief counsellors to the school today to speak with students and staff. "Any tragedy likes this impacts the school community immensely," said district spokeswoman Cheryl Quinton.

Amanda was being offered help, but Quinton said she could not elaborate for privacy reasons. "Supports were in place for this student at the school and community level," she said.

Quinton added that the district has many anti-bullying programs in its schools, and noted the issue is becoming even more challenging because of social media.

"Bullying . . . is an issue of prime concern for the school district," she said.

The Amanda Michelle Todd memorial Facebook page, posted early this morning, already has 2,000 people "liking" it.

Many people were also posting comments on the site.

"RIP. my thoughts and prayers go to her family, I cannot even begin to imagine what they are going through. High school is supposed to be the best time of your life, not one where you fear for yourself every day. No one should have to feel the way she did. What is wrong with people, why do they feel the need to bully someone to their death? She was a beautiful young girl who went way too soon," wrote Breanna Lockhart Collins.

Premier Christy Clark posted a short video on YouTube today sending her sympathies to Amanda's family.

"I just heard about Amanda. I want to say to everyone who loved her, to all her family and friends, how sorry I am about her loss," Clark says on the video.
