My thoughts - Makes me sad. I feel if I had known her that I could have made a difference in her life and helped her live. Makes me a little angry that her parents could be that blind, and didnt know how to get through to her. I guess it is just a reminder to try and be a friend to everyone... because being that friend, just might save their life.

How do I think I could have made a difference? It's kinda of a loaded question because it assumes a lot. Someone who is suicidal probably isnt going to want to talk about that. But if you were someone who she might consider a friend then you could simply say "I feel like you are kinda sad, what's wrong?" and then just listen. Being a good listener is the first step in being a good friend.
And if you are her friend then it should be easy to get through to her that although the boobs incident sucks, that she needs to let it go and not be embarrassed. That in a few years no one will ever remember it, and that she really has nothing to be embarrassed about because it is something every woman has and there isnt anything wrong with her.
Assuming I am a real life friend with her, I am going to force her to go out and hang with me. Perhaps pick up a new hobby. idk what cause I dont know her, but I would get her active and involved. I do that with all my friends now, especially when one starts seeming down.
Lastly, I would defend her. I would take her side in arguments and try and out flame the bullies.

Remember when distance went though something similar? Perhaps not as extreme as this girl had it, but when that happened I reached out to her in friendship. I did my best to either downplay the significance of it or try and get users banned. Im sure she felt stupid that she trusted some asshole on the web, but regardless she didnt deserve that. It made me sad that some asshole would do that to her, and I did the best thing I could do at the time...... I was her friend.
