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"?

I'll tell you if you tell me if you're a cunt by choice or through years of inbreeding.

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?

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.
