A Case of Social Media Gone Wrong...
As many people already know, Tyler Clementi committed suicide over a year ago, after videos and chat threads that he created went viral, thanks to an unknown source. Tyler, who was openly gay, was made fun of by fellow students at Rutgers University. Soon after Tyler filed a complaint with the school, he took his own life, by jumping off of the George Washington Bridge. Tyler was bullied to the point of suicide because of what he put on social media sites and also because of the "creeping" that other students did on him. We can only hope that instances like this never happen again.
