Normal for NJ.

That's really messed up. There was [URL="http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/7220896.html"]similar story[/URL] yesterday on the radio of a teen killing himself because he was gay and was bullied.

If I was related to these kids I am holding those people responsible accountable with a sawed off shotgun.

^Would that would be a "hate crime"?

It's a fair question and one I would like to hear the answer to.

Hell, we can even poll the subject. Can get a poll going?

No he's white.

i dont see the bullying here at all. invasion of privacy, yes. bullying? no

going from the article info only, it seems the student who killed himself did so b/c of the embarrasment he felt b/c there was a gay sex live video of him that his roommate did by turning on his webcam from another students room when his gay roommate asked for privacy from 9:30 to 12.

there was no name calling, no direct face to face confrontation or even hate. just one college guy saying "i dare anyone to click on chat right now for my webcam from 9:30 to 12".

this is alot like american pie, except it was gay sex.

to be honest, i would ask to be moved to a different room b/c i wouldnt feel comfortable knowing my roommate is having gay sex in my dorm room for hours at a time from 9:30 to 12 twice in one week.

Believe this would be constituted as cyberbullying, it's not your old school "take your lunch money, stuff you in the locker" bullying

And is your issue that your roommate would be having sex, or gay sex specifically?

Re: Student kills himself after gay sex footage put online
 

There are many forms of bullying, at the heart of it it's all about abuse. Posting the video online, tweeting about it, etc., definitely falls under cyberbullying.

Re: Student kills himself after gay sex footage put online
 

2 total tweets and none of them contained anything hateful.

idk man, seems like this situation happens alot in dorm rooms. Student A tells student B he needs the room for a few hours. student B records it on his webcam.

and i dont believe by just posting on your twitter "i dare you to click on my chat (whatever) right now" constitutes bullying.

ss- honestly itd be a bit of both for me.

seems like a simple case of invasion of privacy, if that. definetly poor judgment and a prank gone wrong but i dont see how this is bullying.

what if it was sex between a guy and girl? would that be considered cyberbullying aswell? i dont think so.

Re: Student kills himself after gay sex footage put online
 

The content of the tweets isn't the issue, it's the intent. The intent to humiliate and embarrass this kid.

If it was a guy and a girl, sure it could be considering bullying as well.

If it's a guy and a girl then the guy becomes a legend, while the girl becomes known as a whore.

Like emotional bullying is like for real?

Re: Student kills himself after gay sex footage put online
 

The guy had other issue this just pushed him over the top.

SirClintonPortis swallowed it.

I admit that when addressing you I am completely immature. Don't you worry about my mood. Besides, so long as Lord Obama is the president I am going to be a happy camper. Now sod off and do what it is you imbeciles do when you're not "working."

No, it's called calling out d*ckheads. I hope you come round and see the distinction between the two someday.

Re: Student kills himself after gay sex footage put online
 

just a sad story all the way around. From the reports though, dude wasn't exactly in the closet, so it's kind of hard to see how he would be so ashamed of this that he'd kill himself for that reason alone.

Re: Student kills himself after gay sex footage put online
 

Although I don't think it's bullying, it is definitely an invasion of privacy. I mean, I don't think anyone would be really proud of having their sexual exploits broadcasted live over the internet. (Okay.. Maybe some. But you know there's always that 1 you regret that you don't want anyone to know about) But on top of being gay, he has to worry about his friends seeing it, potentially his family hearing about it or seeing it and its the internet, things get around, it could screw up employment opportunities. A whole host of things. Going from a distinguished student/musician to some dude's bottom isn't exactly an "Oh well" kinda situation.

I understand the feeling though, kinda found myself in a position similar to this and the feeling of embarrassment and dread is the worst. Wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I agree with Matty. The intent was to humiliate and that makes it bullying.

If you don't agree and thereby take a stand against bullying, I'll kick your ass.

Nice "Hannah and Her Sisters" sig, by the way.

Re: Student kills himself after gay sex footage put online
 

I think this is a hate crime. If the guy was straight, I doubt this individual would have gone to the same lengths to film it. I am sure they suspected he was gay, saw him spending time with other gay people and thought it would be funny to film it. I just graduated, and I could see many people in my school doing this.

Furthermore, gays are more likely to commit suicide because of social pressures based on recent research. This is effed up that society has come to this. We had a gay suitemate in our suite of 10. Although I did not share a room with him I had no issues with him being openly gay, and none of the 8 other guys did either. So what if he wants to have sex? Every gay guy doesnt just want to have sex with any man they see, so why worry lol?
