Cyberbullying





Tyler Clementi was the Rutgers student who commited suicide over the bullying he got for being gay. He was recorded having sex with his boyfriend. The video was posted on the internet for everyone to see. He later jumped off the George Washington bridge and died. I think that it's rude to invade someones space like that. It's sad that he decided to end his life. People think that it's funny to make fun of someone as a joke and expect the person to just laugh about it. This is an example of the effects of bullying. Both of his roomates that posted the video have been charged with invasion of privacy but I think that's not a fair punishment because they basically made a person kill theirself.
