Ronin Shimizu, a Californian boy, with a great passion for cheerleading and fashion, committed suicide after being previously bullied for years. Since his death, Social Media has blown up with post-death sorrow, outrage, and numerous tributes, as the well as the creation of the memorial web-page Go Fund Me Page, that was able to raise $10 000 dollars in just two days. Shortly after his death occurred a # was made called #RIPRonin. A similar case occurred in October in Texas when Peyton James, after being bullied since grade 2 committed suicide.
In my opinion, things like these shouldn't happen. All humans should be treated equally and with the same respect, no matter who they are, how they dress, what they like, what they do etc. We hear so often about how children across the North America are being bullied to a point where they commit suicide, but there is not any drastic changes being made to bullying on social media.
