Ex-Rutgers University student Dharun Ravi was sentenced to 30 days behind bars Monday, in connection with his March conviction on 15 criminal charges linked to live streaming his former roommate Tyler Clementi's sexual encounters, leading to the 18-year-old's September 2010 suicide.

Ravi, 20, appeared before Judge Glenn Berman in a New Jersey courtroom on Monday morning to hear his fate, which was far more lenient than the 10 year sentence that he could have received.

Even being born with a rare form of cleft palate that left him with no eyes can’t stop bouncing baby Christian Buchanan from smiling.

The happy child has become a YouTube sensation since his mother, Lacey, of Woodbury, Tennessee, posted a video of her blind bundle of joy to prove how he has overcome cruel bullies with his laughter.

During the seven-minute film, Lacey, 25, tells her heart-wrenching story by holding photos and signs up to the camera while keeping her one-year-old son’s face out of shot.

In wake of the country’s attention on the issue of bullying -- and in particular bullying targeting gay teenagers -- Mitt Romney is coming under fire for an incident when he was in high school during which he allegedly targeted a classmate presumed to be gay. 

Matthew Friedemann, one of Romney’s old school pals at Cranbrook School, an all boy’s institution in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, tells the Washington Post that Romney held down classmate John Lauber -- who was "perpetually teased for his nonconformity and presumed homosexuality," according to the report -- before snipping Lauber's bleach blond locks while he cried and screamed for help.

Horrific news to report out of Mantorville, Minnesota, where a 13-year-old girl hanged herself after three months of enduring cruel bullying at the hands of her classmates, her parents said.

Rachel Ehmke, a seventh grader at Kasson/Mantorville Middle School, was found hanged in her home on April 29 after suffering abuse such as threats, being called a "slut," "prostitute," and a text message that circulated through the student body three days before her death, encouraging others to pick on her so she'd leave the school.

Los Angeles-based out director/writer Elliot London is about to go the extra mile (literally) to raise money for his next passion project, a film he simply calls FRIEND.

The charismatic, Australian-born London is leaving in May on a 40-day, cross country drive to personally raise money for the film, which tells the moving story of a bullied gay teenager -- a story close to London’s own heart.

So much for not bullying people, Snooki!

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is five months pregnant with her first child, but the outspoken anti-bullying advocate had some mean things to say about Jessica Simpson’s pregnancy body.

The pint-sized MTV reality star cattily dissed Jessica, who has said that her unusually large baby belly is due to a lot of amniotic fluid.

“I would die if I were her size!" Snooki sniped about the heavily pregnant Fashion Star host to Us Weekly.

Her Jersey Shore co-star Pauly DelVecchio also got in on the slam, commenting on how overdue he thinks Jessica is.
“She's like 45 months pregnant right now!"

The former teacher of an autistic boy accused of bullying him and calling him a “bastard” has denied the accusations.

New Jersey special needs teacher Kelly Altenburg issued a statement through her attorney Friday saying she did not mistreat 10-year-old Akian Chaifetz.

The first lawsuit has been filed on the behalf of Akian Chaifetz, the 10-year-old autistic boy whose father discovered he was being bullied by a teacher after he secretly micked up his son. And while you might think that it was Akian’s father who filed the suit, it was not. Rather, the lawsuit was filed by a North Jersey man who overcame a severe childhood disability to become a professional musician.

Pat Gesualdo filed the federal complaint Thursday alleging Chaifetz’s rights were violated by his former special education teacher, Kelly Altenburg.

The damning audio of two school staff members bullying an autistic boy has caused outrage since the victim’s father posted it on YouTube, and now RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal that one of the alleged abusers has hired a lawyer to defend herself against the one-sided public attack.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Stuart Chaifetz suspected that his 10-year-old autistic son, Akian, was being picked on at the Horace Mann Elementary School in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, so he sent him to class one day last February secretly miked up.

After her article about how she is hated by women because she is “too beautiful” became an Internet sensation, columnist Samantha Brick was bombarded by critics who accused her of being everything from vain and narcissistic, to downright disillusioned.

Now the British writer has revealed in an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com that the source of her seemingly arrogant attitude as an adult comes from cruel school bullies who tormented her as a child.
