Hey bro, bullying comes in many forms, wether it be to someone's face or behind their backs. In this case, it was on the internet. As we know, cyberbullying has been a growing problem as technology matures. Like our technology, we need to mature. We want to abolish bullying, and if we can't do it all at once, we can take one section at a time.

This is just one extreme example of of what cyberbullying can lead to. Dharun Ravi is the name of the bully in this video, his victim was Tyler Clementi. The video states that Ravi is sentenced to a 30 day jail term and 3 year probation for for spying on his roommate having a gay encounter then tweeting about it. Not only was Ravi cyberbullying, but he was also bullying based off of sexual orientation, which lead Clementi, 18, to commit suicide by jumping off of the George Washington Bridge. So, the questions now: How do you feel about Ravi's sentencing? Do you agree with it? Take a look at our link that is posted and tell us what you think.
And remember, Bullying is not cool bro.
