An Instagram model who was reportedly addicted to social media committed suicide five days before Christmas.

Her funeral is taking place today, January 10 at Mountsett Crematorium.

Chloe Davison was found dead at her family home in Lanchester, County Durham, on December 20 aged just 19.

Chloe was an upcoming model who relied on social media to feel good about herself.

According to her 20-year-old elder sister Jade Davison, Chloe thought she wasn’t good enough unless she got loads of likes and comments.

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

The deceased, who had thousands of social media followers, was often targeted by online trolls who would send her nasty messages and mocked her appearance, the sister says.

The 19-year-old teen hanged herself in her bedroom moments after she had been active on social media, according to reports.

Her grieving mum, Clair Reynolds, 44, says the family did not celebrate Christmas and says she doesn’t think they will ever again.

She told ChronicleLive: “Chloe was beautiful, but she didn’t see that. She cared so much about how people saw her. She would post a picture on social media and want all her family to like it. If it wasn’t good enough she’d remove it.

“I blame social media a lot for what has happened. The impact it has, especially on younger people, can be devastating. Social media took over Chloe’s life – whether that be Snapchat or Facebook.

“She struggled socially from being at school so she didn’t work. Social media was her way of getting through the day. She didn’t go out a lot.

“Younger people need more help and education on social media. There are too many people out there who can say what they like because it’s not face-to-face,” the mum said.

My First Blog Post

Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.
— Oscar Wilde.

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
What topics do you think you’ll write about?
Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
