Suicide in Mass Leads to Outrage

The New York Times wrote this interesting, yet at the same time, frightening, article about a girls suicide in a Massachusetts High School. Phoebe Prince, a Irish immigrant was bullied so harshly, she committed suicide, and this has led to a charges against 9 students and an investigation into bullying around the state.

It's terrible how people can bully an innocent girl so much and cause he to kill herself, and I think its about time that those who have caused so much psychological harm towards the girl should get punished. At the same time, I also don't think the programs to combat bullying should stay in the Bay State. Every state could use a program to combat bullying, to prevent something like this. And while I think bullying lessens the older you get, the girl herself was 15, prime age for when the bullying occurs. Lets just hope this is seen as one of the last suicides over bullying and people finally start to fix the problem.
