Candlelight vigils will be held tonight in cities across the globe in memory of a BC teen and other victims of bullying.

15 year old Amanda Todd took her own life last week after posting an emotional video on YouTube.

Todd was the victim of year's of bullying both at school and online.

Meantime, police in London have arrested eight girls in connection with a bullying case.

Police say the arrests were made after an investigation that revealed a student at a city high school had been the target of physical, emotional and cyber bullying.

The eight suspects are each charged with criminal harassment.
   
Police say information about the alleged bullying came, in part, through an anonymous reporting portal on the school website.

School officials have been able to support the victim, ensure the student was safe and then address the bullying behaviour.

The investigation is continuing and police say additional charges may be laid.
