Make no mistake, this ish makes me furious. This story is horribly heartbreaking and I feel so badly for that girl and her family. IDKW the parents didn't pull her out of school or why the administration didn't do more when so many people reported her situation. These little brats need to be charged with whatever bullying laws will allow and be punished as such. But the fact that people (like the above FB group and others who have spoken on the local news here) are saying these little criminals-in-training "caused" the girl to take her life bothers me. The decision to end Phoebe's life was Phoebe's--this is the one thing in this tragedy that was not up to the bullies. Acknowledge that they influenced it heavily and hold them responsible for their despicable actions, but I don't believe it's right to make someone
solely responsible for what another person chose to do.
HOWEVER

I hope they are all punished severely and making them look at the autopsy photos is really not a bad idea. And for the love of all things holy, PLEASE don't let the little sister go to that same high school. She's been through enough without all that would go along with that. And do a major overhaul on how administration handles these things as well.
