Bullying Turned Deadly


Nine teens have been charged for the Suicide of 15 year old Phoebe Prince. Some of the charges include stalking, statutory rape, and violation of civil rights. She was cyber bullied, she was called names online, things were thrown at her, her books were knocked out of her hands, her face was scribbled out of pictures. She didn't have Facebook but a lot of the other kids did and were organizing things that way. A lot of this started with the mean girl sort of things. Things like the whispering and talking behind her back. Her friends set up a memorial page for her on Facebook but some of the kids went on there and were still saying nasty things about her on the pages. She might not have been raped by force but by law. There was a big age difference between Phoebe and the boys so it might have been reported for that reason.

here's the article


The school should have done some serious business about this in the first place. If they are throwing things at her like bottles or full cans you need to do something. And it was nine people involved with this, maybe even more. Why didn't someone do something about this?
