Fox News Article [free write]

In class we were given an article to reed [ Fox News Article ]. The article is about a young 18 year old freshmen at Rutgers University committing suicide. Before even reading the whole story I was already hurt to hear such a thing. But apparently his roommate had recorded him via iChat being intimate with another guy. That is already a violation! People have no sense of privacy and i feel  if he was not gay his roommate would not be recording him with intentions of putting it online. I think it's a bit much. Sadly, the two involved in this [Ravi & Wei] cannot really be charged for much but invasion of privacy. People of the gay rights group of New Jersey were trying to deem it a hate crime. I honestly feel it is not a hate crime because they didn't literally inflict physical pain on him, Or maybe I don't know the exact definition of a hate crime. This also reminds me of something similar that happened back in Massachusetts in 2009. In Springfield, Mass a little boy in 6th grade was constantly made fun of and called gay, and he was so fed up that he killed himself. THAT is so sad because he was only 12 years old and to be bullied to the point a baby wants to take his own life. That spring I went to a summit and met a girl who knew him, the little boy was her little sister's best friend. It was just sad to hear how a little girl was hurting so much.  Apparently, many young boys have been taking their own lives due to bullying in school. Bullying is no joke.
