"jumping off the gw bridge sorry"

I can't stop thinking about Tyler Clementi.  What goes through someone's mind as puts down his wallet and stands at the edge of the George Washington Bridge? What was he thinking about? Had he, maybe, thought about suicide before, and decided this was a good option?

How much emotional pain does it take to make someone jump off a bridge so high and so imposing it can be seen from miles away? A bridge so high, I avoid it as much as possible.

But what would it feel like for a first-year student, in college for barely a month, to learn that his most intimate moments were streamed live to over a hundred people? How much humiliation can a person withstand? For one teenager, jumping off the George Washington Bridge was a less painful alternative.
