do not think the mass media in our country have talked about it, but I'd say they should.
For example the case of Tyler, who committed suicide by throwing himself from the George Washington Bridge, after a couple of his classmates have had the good thought of secretly film him with a webcam while he was intimate with another guy and put it up online.
O Asher and Billy, both driven to suicide because of bullying of which they were at school for their sexuality.
face of all this I think the best thing to do is be quiet and reflect.
