The girl's mum blames social media for her daughter's death. The woman should rather blame herself for her daughter's death because from this story, i don't think she did enough to provent her daughter from committing suicide.

A teenage girl who was addicted to social media ended her life after she failed to get enough “likes” on her photos.

Chloe Davison, 19, was an aspiring model who relied on social media to feel good about herself, according to her older sister Jade.

“She thought she wasn’t good enough unless she was getting loads of likes and comments,” her 20-year-old sister said.

The selfie-loving teen hanged herself in her bedroom moments after she had been active on social media.

After the girl started using social media several year ago, “all she would talk about was how many likes she got,” her mum Clair Reynolds, 44, said.

“She was addicted to apps like Instagram and Snapchat,” said family friend Nick Coombs, 55, who had known Chloe since she was young.

“She would spend hours taking the perfect photo, but would delete it later if it didn’t get popular enough,” Coombs added.

Chloe struggled socially at school and rarely went out with friends, instead staying indoors and taking pictures of herself for social media.

The pretty 19-year-old was often targeted by online trolls who would send her nasty messages and mocked her appearance.

“Chloe was crying many nights because someone had said something horrible about her online,” her older sister Jade Davison told the news.

On Friday night, Chloe’s mum and sister returned home from a bar around 11:30pm, and found the teenager hanging in her bedroom.

Chloe had been taking selfies moments before she killed herself, according to Nick Coombs, 55, who was at the house when the brunette was found dead.

“When we took her body down, her hair and makeup were still perfect,” Coombs said. “She was wearing some new lingerie that she’d been excited to model.”

The girl’s mum, Clair Reynolds, said she blamed social media for what happened. “Social media took over Chloe’s life, whether that be Snapchat or Facebook.”

She added: “Chloe was beautiful, but she didn’t see that. She cared too much about how other people saw her.”

Coombs said that too many people felt they could say whatever they wanted to the attractive teen because it wasn't face-to-face.

“She’d get hundreds of messages each day, mostly men asking her for sexual stuff,” Coombs said. “Sometimes they were nice, but other times they told Chloe they wanted to hurt her.”

Both adults agreed that the girl had low self-esteem and relied on social media for reassurance.

The 19-year-old had thousands of social media followers when she killed herself.

useless pikin!!!!!

Really??! Useless??! That's the best you have to put up??!... What about the more useless parents who knew the unstable and fragile psychology of their young child, and failed to take proper rehabilitative steps to build her up and ensure she was on the right track??!...

I could have been like this young lady a decade ago... You put great contents online (Not just pictures) yet fail to get the recognition you feel they are worth. It takes a mentally strong person with good self esteem and focus to be unmoved, unperturbed, and move on.

Social media will continue to be the undoing of the jobless, and psychologically fragile.... It's a pity... A bigger pity that we underestimate the power social media holds over young people today.

Most Nigerians lack basic knowledge of mental health this is evident in the load of crap people are pouring on this thread.

They may be harsh, but somehow right. Mental health includes training oneself to be emotionally resilient.

Whats your position?

Well, what can I say? Her nasty mum is blaming social media instead of her sick daughter. Obviously more could have been done to help the girl after admitting she had low self esteem, instead of now blaming the social media. In advance countries, they are many facilities and specialists to help correct such patients. Parents seem to be less interested in addressing their children’s issue. They prefer transferring the blame else where.
A low self-esteem individual wanting to be a model? She can now go model in hell. What a selfish individual that beautiful girl was. She has inflicted a permanent injury on her family, wasted her organs that could have been donated to save/improve lives. Taking your life because of low self esteem or cyber bullying is never a solution.

I dont think her mother had the right tools to handle the issue. Do parents really understand the billion-dollar psychological machinations behind sites like Instagram?

She probably assumed she would grow out of it

Smh.
This is just stupidity.

Some days Ronaldo the most followed person on Instagram gets up to 10million likes, some days same Ronaldo gets 3 or 4 million likes.

Does this mean once likes don't reach 10million, he should kill himself?

Over something he doesn't even control?
Over something Instagram self doesn't even control?

Truly stupid.

Meaning, we should be careful with our reactions to people's pictures and always praise our associates when we see them on social media. What an ever mentally weakened generation?

As modern parents we have to find ways to groom our kids right. So they can have sense. Shit don’t make no damn sense! Why beautiful girl!? Halfway across the Mediterranean Sea are enough black guys who wld idolize you. Then u go kill yourself over likes!? If na that one many people for don die!

I guess the excitement she had when she imagined how she would model the clothes was so far ahead of the disappointment she really met from no likes. Too bad.

Just because of some useless and worthless instagram likes.

What on earth is she gonna tell her creator?

Some folks on Nairaland can do same, judging by the way some struggle for the first to comment stuff as if their lives revolve around that.

Ndi ara na ata guava!!!!


It's not worth it but Instagram likes isn't worthless.

If you're modelling or advertising a product for a company. Likes and comments matter if you wanna get paid.

It's my field. I know.
