Subject: Minnesota college student, 19, commits suicide after classmates bully her for appearing in porn flic

A stunning Minnesota college freshman honor student tragically killed herself after former classmates relentlessly bullied her for appearing in an amateur porn video.
Alyssa Funke, 19, bought a shotgun and committed suicide on her family’s boat on a suburban St. Paul lake in April just two weeks after the skin flick hit porn site Casting Couch.
The straight-A student at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls was inundated with taunts on Twitter and Facebook after former classmates at Stillwater High School found the flick and huddled around in groups to see her baring it all.
“I’m Stella Ann. I’m 18, from Minnesota, and I’m really looking forward to get started,” the nervous teen tells an unseen camera operator as she sat on the “casting couch” during filming in Las Vegas earlier this year. “I want to be a major in biology, minor in chemistry, and I want to be an anesthesiologist,” the brainy beauty says during her interview.
Shortly after, she strips down and has on-camera sex.
Her former classmates were unflinching in the cruel taunts they sent her way.
“Wow your (sic) a thot,” wrote one, including a slang acronym for “that ho over there.” Another wrote, “Does her dad know?”
In April, Funke bought a shotgun and used it to commit suicide on Big Carnelia Lake, shown.
“Nothing brings a school together like a pornstar who graduated last year,” chimed in a third.

I think she probably already had emotional issues prior to the backlash. It's really a sad story on many levels. I'm vehemently anti porn and I firmly believe the industry exploits young women. She was a victim of both her own poor choices, the industry, and the bullying students. However, I don't think you can cast the blame on anyone person in this situation. It's a tragedy and a lesson.

Wow... That's kind of... Amazing to me, that people can be so utterly uncaring. I mean, I can get people not caring that much that this happened. People don't care about that stuff all the time. But that comment is just so... Wow.

I disagree. Social media is simply a new venue for human socialization and most people crave that to some degree. The cases of people committing suicide after cyberbullying that I am familiar with all involved bullying prior to and outside of social media. It was merely an extension of face to face confrontations. It's not quite as simply as someone committing suicide over harassment on Twitter. There is a deeper issue here. The real problem is that people are still committing suicide over be social pariahs and that for all our technological advancements humanity hasn't really improved at all on a micro level.

Exalted. I always feel really sad whenever I see a headline to the effect of "Teen kills themselves after bullying on Facebook". I realise that there are almost always other causes, but, fething hell. You can turn the computer off. Block people on Facebook. At that point, it is literally no worse than the perpetual possibility that people are bitching about you anyway.
Anyway, tragic news nonetheless. Sounds like her classmates were a bunch of fething pricks.

I wonder who was leading the bullying on this one? They should certainly be prosecuted. Especially given that she suffered mental illness. I mean we give each other light piss takes on FB in our Uni group, from time to time, but never anything beyond ridiculous and everybody gets it so nobody is really singled out. Serious harassment is just ridiculous. I'd imagine that a lot of is based on jealous or resentment.

No. She committed public acts. Its reasonable that there would be commentary about it. Her methods of recourse to end it were instantaneous. Turn off the  ing Facebook.

We dont know why she committed suicide.
Making the porn video, being bullied for it, possible, but its likely to be rooted in something deeper.
But people do commit suicide over the vaguest things. She bought a shotgun drove or walked to a lake and shot herself. This doesn't allow a lot of time for thought, but the real mental trigger is deep set.
Funke came from a broken home, with family in trouble with the law. Young impressionable and away from familiar surroundings, it only takes a bad turn, any bad turn to set her over the edge.
This was far from inevitable, but it is simplistic to say the porn killed her.

Just going to throw this out there - If you're going to make an adult decision, like the one to take off your clothes and have sex on camera for money, then you should probably prepare yourself to have adult reactions to potential criticism directed toward your lifestyle. Or, are pornstars now members of the "protected class?"
Hang out on bodybuilding.com long enough and post some pictures working looking at, and you'll get offers to fly to LA and participate in porn shoots. Ask me how I know. I never accepted any of these offers, but another poster did several years ago. Somebody found the "evidence" and everybody dogpiled the guy pretty bad. His response was, "F U guys, I got paid $1,000 to whack it on camera!" 
Long story short - that could be construed as "bullying" but level-headed people don't kill themselves when people criticize their life choices. There was something more going on with this girl that makes me think she fell into the red zone of the hot/crazy curve.

So if people called one of your kids a "[ see forum posting rules]" (using for emphasis not as an actual insult by myself) and then others started laughing at them all over social media and they went on to kill themselves you'd be fine with that. I mean, it was your kids fault for putting their sexuality out there right? Right.

Regardless, you'd think we're at a point in society where people wouldn't be looked down upon for working in porn. They deserve as much respect as any other person. We live in an age where it seems like everyone has nudes of them floating around on the internet, it shouldn't be that big of a deal anymore.
Sure, she definitely could have benefited from some forsight regarding her social situation, but her peers could also benefit from growing the feth up.

Just out of interest has the treatment of this girl by her classmates proven to be directly linked to the suicide?
The trouble with cases like this is that some people with vested interests do like to try and capitalise on these suicides in order to promote their own pet causes. There actually could be allot more going here we don't know about and I don't think it's wise to point fingers at her classmates or the porn industry without more information.

Actually I would say she was a victim of the bullying students and the (undeserved and unfair) social stigma associated with being a porn actress. As I have already mentioned here, they deserve respect as much as anyone else. Actually, they deserve more respect that people whose work are actually morally wrong, and hurting people, like gangsters, arm dealers, hard drug dealers, …
Doubly so if you actually watch porn. Then you would be even more hypocritical to condemn and scorn them.

I am pretty sure the social stigma on porn actors is way smaller than the one on porn actresses.

If the social stigma on being a porn star is so strong that people will kill themselves over it, then there is a problem with the stigma associated with being a porn star. On the other hand, if the stigma associated with being a serial killer is so strong that people will kill themselves over it, it is not that much of a problem. Because being a serial killer is morally wrong, and is all about hurting and killing innocent peoples, while there is nothing wrong with being a porn star, and it is all about bringing stimulation to people that actually looked for it.

Or, are pornstars now members of the "protected class?"
Hang out on bodybuilding.com long enough and post some pictures working looking at, and you'll get offers to fly to LA and participate in porn shoots. Ask me how I know. I never accepted any of these offers, but another poster did several years ago. Somebody found the "evidence" and everybody dogpiled the guy pretty bad. His response was, "F U guys, I got paid $1,000 to whack it on camera!"
Long story short - that could be construed as "bullying" but level-headed people don't kill themselves when people criticize their life choices. There was something more going on with this girl that makes me think she fell into the red zone of the hot/crazy curve.
I don't think you understand the subtle differences in how men vs. women are judged for performing promiscuous.acts.
The rest of your post suggests a particular vapidity too..
