RIP: Collins Cherinyit's Death, What Online Bullying Means.

Collins Kipkorir known for his nickname Cherinyit, a young man who recently took his own life, was the subject of much attention and scrutiny in the days leading up to his tragic death. Before his suicide, Cherinyit had been facing a number of personal and financial struggles, which were exacerbated by the actions of some individuals in his social circle.

In the days before his death, Cherinyit was the target of online trolls and bloggers who took pleasure in his misfortune. These individuals, who were supposedly his friends and acquaintances, publicly mocked and ridiculed him on social media, adding to his already heavy burden. It is a sad irony that these same people are now mourning his passing, realizing too late the impact of their hurtful words and actions.

Cherinyit was known to be a breadwinner in his family, taking on the responsibility of providing for his loved ones. The pressure of this role, combined with the added stress of his personal struggles and the betrayal of those around him, likely contributed to his decision to end his own life.

The question remains: could this situation have been controlled? Could Cherinyit's friends and acquaintances have done more to support him in his time of need, rather than adding to his pain? It is a sobering reminder of the power of words and actions, and the importance of showing compassion and empathy towards those who are struggling.

The tragic death of Collins Cherinyit is a cautionary tale of the impact of bullying and negativity, particularly in the age of social media. May Cherinyit rest in peace, and may his story serve as a lesson to us all.
