Another article says that the images involved Clementi having sex with another man.
Thoughts? Should the two other students involved receive a heavy punishment? This reminds me of the Myspace mom bullying the teen girl in MO who committed suicide.
I feel for the victim and his family. Humiliation is temporary. Certainly not worth taking one's own life.

It's not always that simple. There are degrees of humiliation and this one goes above and beyond what most of us will ever have to deal with in our lives and not just because it was a homosexual encounter; some would be just as devastated if they were broadcasted having sex as a heterosexual. We are all different and are impacted by life's challenges differently, which is why we all have to take matters of bullying and such more seriously. Sometimes the outcome of humiliation such as this is indeed permanent unless maybe you are able to re-locate and remove yourself from an environment and if you're a celebrity or well known person, you might not even be able to do that. Not saying it's worth taking your life but just pointing out that it's not that simple, especially without a strong support system.
