<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">case study name:Tyler Clementi:

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Tyler Clementi case: =<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 1.4em;">Tyler Clementi case: students 'freaked out' after spying on gay roommate with webcam = ==<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 1.3em;">Two students who used a web camera to spy on a roommate were left "shocked" and "freaking out" when they saw him kissing another man, a court has heard. == <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">name: tyler clementi <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">age:18 <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">location:new brunswick,nj <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">family: <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">father: Joe Clementi <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">mother: Jane Clementi <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">what happened : his room mate posted a video of his sexual encounter with another man on multiple social networking websites so that everyone could see it and four days later he jumped off the gw bridge. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">where did it happen: it happened in brunswick new jersey <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;"> how did it happen: the roommate recored it through the webcam on his laptop <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">outcome for the victim: suicide <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">outcome for the bullies: maximum sentence 5 years in prision <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">update on the victim: none <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">update on what happened to the community: trying to prevent the same situation from happening again <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">update on any legislation that occurred because of the incident: trying to make any kind of bullying against the law and are putting full force on the bullies related to this case.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">I think that what happened in this situation was the result of the beliefs of another student believing that being gay is a defect in a human gene. I think that no student should be put through the choice of whether or not to go through with killing themselves or not. Having to make that choice is a really hard choice to be through, due to everything that you have been through in your life and having the choice of ending it and taking all of your life and throwing it away with just a couple seconds. This kid was picked on because of the gender he was attracted to but my real question is, where was the other boy that was in the video when this kid was being made fun of and how come he didn't get picked on like Tyler Clementi. I believe that if the other boy would have stood up for Tyler that maybe he would still be alive and he would not have taken his own life like he did. Nobody understands that what they say can sometimes hurt more then what someone might do to physically do to harm someone. If we all take the time to look at the world through the other persons eyes then maybe we can all notice that what we do can effect a person in ways that scientists may not even be able to understand.
