The Cruel World

Sadly with Social Media benefits comes downsides. A 18 year old named Tyler Clementi took his own life due a cyber bully, Dharun Ravi, who was his own roommate  The occurrence was at Tyler's dorm were he asked Dharun Ravi if he could have the place for the night because of a man he met online. Dharun setup a hidden webcam to spy and stream Tyler and his boyfriend having sex. However, Dharun didn't stop their he sent a tweet to his friends telling him he had saw his friend “making out with a dude,'' and encourage others to watch. Awkward. Tyler then took his life on George Washington Bridge and as a result Dharun was sent to jail for 30 days and 300 hours of community service. The trail went up to 10 years in prison and many said he got off way to easy. The parents of Tyler have built a building in tribute to Tyler to educate and deal with matters and issues like these.
