My opinions about the Phoebe Prince suicide

Alright, the one thing, I absolutely do not agree upon is the fact that people bully other people. No matter where you look or turn, you will see it everywhere. It can be so minisiciual that you'll never notice it happening, but it does happen.
Now on with my annyoance to some people.
I can not stand how kids, teens, and even adults get bullied!!! It's considered rude and quite frankly reflects poor character. Everyone will always say, 'how did the parents raise their child to behave that way?', when in fact it's not how you should look into how the parents raise their children, but how the children/teens are acting. Parents do have an ifluence in how their children are raised and how they will act. But children do get older and they start picking up on different things that don't happen in the home. They pick up on what goes on in the world around them. They do notice how others act towards others. Especially in a school enviroment. You have so many things going on in school that it's in a world all of it self.
I'm so sick of the parents that think, 'oh it's the girl's/guy's fault for commiting suicide. She/He probably had mental issues already.' There is nothing worse then an adult saying that. They can't think beyond their own nose.
It's sad how adults will defend the actions of some teens and then condemn them. Bullying is wrong. That young lady should not have gone through all of that. It's sad to think how many actual cases there are about bullying that links to suicide.
I agree with the DA. Those teens do need to be help accountable. But also,... do not forget the adults. Why only punish the teens and not the adults? Most adults turn a blind eye to most things. Only if it's too late will they tend to speak out.
Plus, shame on the people who says she should have sucked it up!!! Or that she might have been mentally unstable. It gives great insight on what that says about you, yourself!
Also the DA aren't using these teens as a scapegoat. They are making a statement. If you do not understand what kind of statement they are making then maybe, your not looking past beyond your nose.
It really sickens me how some people condemn this young lady of her actions and not the actions of the others. Do you not remember how impresonable you were at this age??? I mean come on!!!
Adults need to stop turning a blind eye about most things and start standing up!!!
Now what I find strange about this whole issue is where were the parents of these young adults? Where they around? What did they have to say? No comment?
The thing in my mind that stands out is, why did the adults in school turn a blind eye? What about the other people being bullied? Why does it seem that the so called popular kids get to bully other kids on how they look, act, or whatever that doesn't fit in with their social status or standing.
It's in my opinion that most of the kids that does the bullying are some of the popular kids. They think that just because, they have the looks, money, or whatever, they are better than the rest. Don't they know that it's high school, and when they go out into the real world, most of their B.S. won't matter? How dumb are they? Come on! Don't they realize that the kids they bully, are not only picked on at school but at home also? These so called popular kids have way too much control over the school. Get over it administrators!!! They aren't so great kids as you would label them.
It's sad how if, just one person will stand up to them they become an outcast themselves!
On that I will end this on, I hope those kids do get punished for the trauma and heartache they've caused that family to endure. Along with a full investigation on what the hell were the school administrators doing?
