Rutgers Suicide

Rutgers University student, Tyler Clementi, committed suicide this week. He jumped off of the George Washington bridge and into the Hudson River. Tyler suffered from complete humiliation after his roomate video taped him and his gay lover making out and posted it on the internet. How horrible! People come on now. When are we gonna learn to grow up and start thinking about our actions and how they affect others? The actions of this roomate were very immature. He violated this boy's privacy and his trust. I wonder how he feels now knowing that he caused someone's death. The school is being investigated due to allegations that the incident was reported and nothing was done about it. If you ever see someone in need please reach out to that person. You never know what impact you may have on his/her life. It was obvious he lost all hope after noone did anything to help him. And whether than suffer the ridicule from his peers, he decided to end it. If only he had known Jesus. Let this be a lesson to us all. This boy was most likely harrassed for being gay. Especially after the posting of the video. I'm sure there were others who watched and didn't say anything, but what good is that? Just because you aren't the bully doesn't excuse you from saying anything. Please, whether you agree with a persons lifestyle or not remember that God created us all and Satan wants to destroy us all;if the opportunity is presented to you to help someone then take it. Remember we are all souls in need of saving. May God bless the Clementi family and others in mourning over similar incidences.
