I’m sure most of you have seen my posts about Unfriended,
about how disgusting I feel it is. Different strokes for different folks I
guess. However, I don’t feel like a story based around someone who is cyber
bullied and then takes their own life is entertainment. Since it’s opening in
April the movie has made about 29,973,000.00. If they donated just 10%, TEN
PERCENT! They could donate $299,730.00 to AFSP. The difference that would make
is huge! It would provide financing for almost 600 support groups. It would
help distribute educational material at almost 6,000 colleges. We could place
the “More than Sad” program at close to 3,000 high schools! With a donation of
only ten percent of the total sales, to date, $239,784.00 would go DIRECTLY to
prevention. I understand not everyone understand my view on this. Not everyone
has lost someone to suicide. Even more so, not everyone has lost someone to
suicide after being cyber bullied. It’s something I wouldn’t wish on anyone.
Not only am I Left with the haunting pain of my brother’s death. I am also left
with the immense hatred and frustration towards the one who bullied him. It’s
something I’ve worked on now for almost 4 years, I haven’t let go of it yet.
Hopefully one day I will be able to.
Help spread this blog; help the word get to the right
people. Maybe we can sway the people involved in this production to donate and
help fight for the world without suicide. Together we can change the world.
Also, if you absolutely feel the need to watch a movie/video of someone who has
taken their lives after cyberbullying see the links below.
Rest in peace Anthony Nicholas Beaman
