What Really Happened to Phoebe Prince?

Bullying is unacceptable, immoral, and unethical.Bullying can cause anyone constant chronic stress and low self-esteem. In the case of Phoebe Prince, bullying came to a new form which is cyber-bullying because it makes bullying more publicized. From reading this article I think that Phoebe bullies were mean girls that probably have parents that work for the school district.

Phoebe suicide probably produced a small chain reaction of grief and guilt throughout the school. In my previous blog I've stated that there are two types of evil in this world which are people who see evil acts and people who commit evil acts. In South Hadley High School, there is not consequences for bullying a student its only suspension. The high schools seems corrupted after the Phoebe death because no School Board administrator wants to discuss it. Bullying is worse committed act in schools that selling drugs in my opinion. I believe that anything that deals with a person's psyche is longer effecting than drugs. When a person has low self-esteem it leads to depression then chronic stress which turns into suicide. The human mind is the most powerful thing in the human body when its tempered with it can be deadly.

In Phoebe case, I get the sense of immigrating to a new country and adapting. According to the article, Phoebe had depression and her mother told the school of her problems. But as a former high school student, when a student has an illness or disability all of the teachers are aware of it and the staff members. I find it odd that none of Phoebe's teacher didn't do anything to help her out. A school is a community and within that community things are all seen and heard and for the faculty and staff to be aware of what's happening and not do anything about it is scary because you know a student is being injured and your not being a dutiful citizen.

In this case, the students that bullied Phoebe should be criminally prosecuted because its considered manslaughter. These teenagers would harass Phoebe physically and emotionally which led to her killing herself. It makes me wonder how these teenagers get away with deli quint acts in the school.

After reading this article the author does imply blame the victim, this is in which we as people judge the victim that its her fault. Phoebe wasn't at fault she was a bullied all the time and people made it sound that it was her depression that lead her to that. Bullying should be stopped when someone names call thats a sing of bullying. Bullying should be made illegal and have greater consequences. Suspensions are just vacations for the criminals. I'm glad a bill in New York has been passed to stop bullying this should be spread nationwide.
