    In the reading, Buajan gave multiple reasons that could be the causes of accidents. The list of reasons varied drastically from sexual impropriety, the negligence of the elderly driver, the ghost near the mango tree, fate, and karma. However, of these six reasons Buajan believes the primary reason for her injuries was the tree, the location (fate), and the negligence of the elderly man. The four remedies for Buajan’s accident are The Khwan Ceremony, merit-making, negotiating a settlement, and signing the release. First, the Khwan ceremony is a spiritual practice used to retrieve Buajan’s “khawn” (ghost) from the location of the accident.

    In Michael Friscolahti’s article, “Shunned in life, remembered in death: Can B.C. teen’s tragic story help foster needed change?”, he discusses the story of fifteen year old Amanda Todd, who committed suicide October 10, 2012, due to excessive bullying.

A quote from www.bullyingstatistics.org/ says, “Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people, resulting in about 4,400 deaths per year, according to the CDC...” Bullying has bought pain to so many families and there is nothing positive to say about it.

    Amanda's Story Of Bullying And Suicide

    "Bullied victims are 7 to 9 percent more likely to consider suicide according to a study by Yale University. Studies in Britain have found half of the suicides among youth related to bullying."

Yet there are kids taking their lives by hanging themselves ad shooting themselves just so they don't have to go to school. This is Amanda's story of her cyber bullying and suicide. "On January 12, 2012 Amanda Diane Cummings, a 15 year old Staten Island youth, jumped in front of a bus. She carried a note on her that stated that classmates were constantly teasing…
