Todd wrote that during the 2010 Christmas break, police informed her that the photo was circulating on the Internet. She wrote that she experienced anxiety, depression, and panic disorder due to having been sexually exploited online and cyberbullied. Her family moved to a new home, where Todd said she began using alcohol and other drugs.

A year later, Todd's blackmailer reappeared, creating a Facebook profile that used the topless photo as its profile image and contacting classmates at her new school. Again, Todd was teased, eventually changing schools for a second time. She wrote that she began chatting to "an old guy friend" who contacted her. The friend invited Todd to his house, where they had sex while his girlfriend was on vacation.{{Cite news |last=Villalva |first=Brittney R. |date=October 14, 2012 |title=Amanda Todd: 15-Year-Old Tells Story of Bullying and Suicide Before Death |work=The Christian Post |url=http://global.christianpost.com/news/amanda-todd-15-year-old-tells-story-of-bullying-and-suicide-before-death-video-83253/ |url-status=dead |access-date=October 16, 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130102192909/http://global.christianpost.com/news/amanda-todd-15-year-old-tells-story-of-bullying-and-suicide-before-death-video-83253/ |archive-date=January 2, 2013 |df=mdy-all}} The following week, the boy's girlfriend and a group of about 15 others confronted Todd at school, shouting insults, with the boy's girlfriend punching her; Todd fell to the ground, then lay in a ditch, where her father found her. After the attack, Todd attempted suicide by drinking bleach, but survived after being rushed to the hospital to have her stomach pumped. "It killed me inside and I thought I was gonna actually die", Todd commented in her video.

After returning home, Todd discovered abusive messages about her suicide attempt posted to Facebook. In March 2012, her family moved to another city to start afresh, but Todd was unable to escape the past. According to her mother, "Every time she moved schools he would go undercover and become a Facebook friend. What the guy did was he went online to the kids who went to [the new school] and said that he was going to be a new student — that he was starting school the following week and that he wanted some friends and could they friend him on Facebook. He eventually gathered people's names and sent Todd's video to her new school", including students, teachers and parents.{{Cite news |last=Shaw |first=Gillian |date=October 14, 2012 |title=Amanda Todd's mother speaks out about her daughter, bullying (with video) |work=Vancouver Sun |url=https://vancouversun.com/news/Amanda+Todd+speaks+about+daughter+death/7384521/story.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131031121155/http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Amanda+Todd+speaks+about+daughter+death/7384521/story.html |archive-date=October 31, 2013 |df=mdy-all}} Six months later, further messages and abuse were still being posted to social networking sites. With Todd's mental state worsening, she began to engage in self-mutilation and cutting. Despite taking her prescribed antidepressants and receiving counseling, she overdosed and was hospitalized for two days.

Todd was taunted by other students at her school for her low grades, a consequence of a language-based learning disability, and for the time she spent in the hospital to treat her severe depression.{{Cite news |last=Shaw |first=Gillian |date=October 20, 2012 |title='She shared everything with me': Amanda Todd's mother talks about her life with her daughter |work=Vancouver Sun |url=https://vancouversun.com/health/shared+everything+with+Amanda+Todd+mother+talks+about+life/7419475/story.html |url-status=dead |access-date=October 21, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022210457/http://www.vancouversun.com/health/shared+everything+with+Amanda+Todd+mother+talks+about+life/7419475/story.html |archive-date=October 22, 2012 |df=mdy-all}} "It didn't really help that after she got out of the hospital recently some kids started calling her 'psycho' and saying she had been in the crazy hospital," her mother said. "She went to the hospital, she had therapy, she had counseling, she was on a good track. On the day she gets out, that happens. I shake my head and I think, 'Are kids really that nasty, do they really not think, what if it was them?'"

On December 21, 2023, a Dutch judge reduced Coban's sentence for his crimes against Todd to six years in prison. It will be served consecutively to an 11-year prison sentence for sexually extorting 33 other victims.

Todd's suicide received widespread international media coverage, much of which included a link to her YouTube video and an email address provided by the RCMP appealing for information from the public. Within 24 hours of the appeal, over 400 tips were received. The RCMP has stated that its investigation was hindered by the amount of false information in online postings after Todd's death, and by scams claiming to raise money for her family.{{Cite news |others=Alan Waterman |date=October 17, 2012 |title=Amanda Todd probe delayed by online rumours, scams |work=CBC |agency=The Canadian Press |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/amanda-todd-probe-delayed-by-online-rumours-scams-1.1254832 |url-status=live |access-date=October 19, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121019000816/http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2012/10/16/bc-amanda-todd-scam-websites.html |archive-date=October 19, 2012 |df=mdy-all}}

Internet hacktivist group Anonymous alleged that a 32-year-old man was Todd's blackmailer and main tormentor. The group published the Vancouver-area man's name and address on the Internet, resulting in the man's receipt of online threats of vigilante justice. After investigating the tip, police determined that the allegations were unfounded, and said that "false information that is being spread by people who appear to be trying to use Amanda's story to do harm or make a profit" was one of the challenges they faced.{{Cite news |last1=Shaw |first1=Gillian |last2=Sinoski |first2=Kelly |date=October 17, 2012 |title=B.C. man denies harassing Amanda Todd; RCMP say allegations are 'unfounded' |work=Ottawa Citizen |publisher=Postmedia Network Inc. |url=https://ottawacitizen.com/news/denies+harassing+Amanda+Todd+RCMP+allegations+unfounded/7400309/story.html |url-status=live |access-date=January 27, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121021230743/http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/denies+harassing+Amanda+Todd+RCMP+allegations+unfounded/7400309/story.html |archive-date=October 21, 2012 |df=mdy-all}}

Michelle Dean of The New Yorker compared Todd's death to the suicide of Tyler Clementi, an LGBT student at Rutgers University who jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge after his roommate encouraged friends to watch a live stream of Clementi kissing another man. In an early piece questioning the assumptions of perpetrators of nonconsensual pornography, she quotes Mary Anne Franks:{{blockquote|Women have become, as Franks put it, "unwilling avatars", unable to control their own images online, and then told to put up with it for the sake of "freedom", for the good of the community.
