September 2010, Tyler Clementi committed suicide by jumping off of a bridge, due to cyberbullying. Clementi’s roommate recorded Clementi’s encounter with another male, and posted it publicly, thus causing his death. Cyberbullying is bullying online or over social media. Cyberbullying has been affecting people for a very long time, but in the last couple years, there has been so much more of it happening.

There are many deaths due to cyberbullying. But when they do happen, that’s when people care about that person, that’s when they finally say how they feel about them, like how good of a person they were (Prosecuting Cyber Bullies). Don’t you think that they should have said that before they were gone? I personally think if anyone cyberbullies anyone to the point of their death, they should get some of the blame for it.

But, this could also increase the cyber bullies thought of doing it. This kind of gives them a reason to make up a new user name, or a fake account to try cyberbullying again. Teenage girls are more likely to get cyber bullied, rather than a teenage boy. Because some people think that a girl is “weaker” than boys are. But really, the only difference is gender, so people who think that girls are weak, should get another hint that they aren’t. They can stick up for themselves just as any guy can do.
