This situation isn't cute or anything close to it. She's going through some ish. How many people have to struggle with mental illnesses until we learn to stop watching and actually DO SOMETHING about i? If Amanda died tomorrow mother ****ers would be in tears booing and hooing over her like they actually gave an f.u.c.k when she was alive and struggling. This isn't cute, it's disgusting. Our culture has become REPULSIVE. Mean ass, evil, spiteful kids who bully other children and push them to suicide and self harm become mean ass, spiteful, evil adults.

Why is it ok to cackle over this woman's struggle?
Why are disturbing videos of her being plastered over social media sites?
Why aren't we sending a message of love and concern?
When will we grow some compassion?
When is enough enough?

I agree 100% it's very sad.

[Marvin]

Good question.

[minxie]

I agree.

[Gangsta4alife]

I never thought the whole amanda bynes situation was funny/cute or even fierce in any type of way. I wish the best for her though, cause you can tell homegirl is struggling

[NLX]

I mean I probably would have taken this seriously.
But if your username is directed toward who I think it is then ....

[Vespertine]

Yeah, I'm really sad over it I don't like seeing people enjoy whatever Bieber is going through right now either (if he's approaching some sort of meltdown or whatever). It wasn't funny when it was Britney, Lindsay etc. and it's not funny now.

Maybe I'm extra sensitive since I spent so long hearing everyone tear Amy down while hoping she would get better, until it finally looked like she WAS getting better... and then of course we know how that turned out I've always been disgusted over the people who talked about her like trash for years, but then suddenly became "huge fans" or regard her as a legend.

People always say it's celebrities' own fault/they're taking their fame and fortune for granted--but there are soo many celebrities who turn out like this (especially the ones who start out very young) that it's obvious to me there is something really screwed up about it all. And for some of them (I suspect the ones who don't have really supportive families) it's too much to handle, and they crack. Imagine if you were going through some sort of struggle, whether with drugs, mental illness, etc... now imagine how much harder it might be under constant public scrutiny and ridicule.

[Ties]

Not you feigning concern with that username of yours.

Lol she can go get help. This is real life, people don't really care.

It's not that easy. She is mentally ill. She doesn't think she needs help.

I wish people would stop giving her attention because her tweets are in no way funny. She's just looking for attention because 70% of people didn't even know her until a few months ago (me being one of them)

So I think it's totally okay to bully her because she's giving everyone a reason to

Its also interesting to note that when men go through a 'breakdown', when they return to normality, they are given a second chance, no questions asked and little mocking. See Robert Downey Jr, Charlie Sheen.

But when women go through a breakdown they are forever more 'broken' or '****ed'. See Britney, now Amanda among countless others.

I wish all the best for Amanda, she's a genuinely funny actress with remarkable comedic timing who I've enjoyed watching since I was little.

But due to the severely sexist nature of Hollywood and the main stream media, as well as the prevalent stigma of mental health, even if she did get her life back on track she will not be afforded the same second chance her male counterparts automatically get.

It's unfortunate, but secretly the media is always on the hunt for a new celebrity to laugh, mock, and essentially bully. One slip up, and they're ready to pounce and and the person goes through the vicious cycle of media scrutiny. That's how they got Lindsey, and she's becoming a bore now.

[C/H/A/N/E/L]

Because, for some reason for her, it comes off more as try-hardy than an actual issue that needs help.

[Firework]

It's her own fault for posting pictures and videos on Twitter, if it's getting to her then she should delete her account

Everyone knew who she was!

exactly, and it isn't just celebs, It's everyday people. We need to learn to not laugh at other's pain. It just isn't right. I could never see someone struggle and not feel/ di for them. I do it everyday.



I work with underprivileged kids, so you ignorant muck raking internet trolls need to point that negativity elsewhere. you don't know me or the origins of my username, so i advise you to keep it 100.

[Beethoven]

I wouldn't call it bullying...

[NLX]

Oh that's cute for you

[Big Smoke]

cuz people are dumb as ****. And no, this isnt bullying.
