Who is Amanda Todd and is everything that happened to her a lie?

[Shawn Robin]

Amanda Todd is a Canadian teenager who was bullied so much, she went nuts and killed herself.

Unlike the USA, Canada has truth-in-journalism laws.
In Canada, it's illegal for the Canadian media to broadcast false or misleading news.
So your friend's totally wrong. It's not a hoax or a set up.
That girl's dead and police are investigating:

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are Canada's national police force.
They're also the world's most famous police force.
They're legendary in law enforcement because the Mounties "always get their man".
So the bullies responsible for tormenting Todd are totally screwed cause they will all be caught.
