It is bad enough that, as a child, you are required to attend school and be indoctrinated and formed into a willing accomplice of the System... but to be bullied by pigs and sluts all the while the school administrators and principals and teachers and the rest of the zookeepers look away and ignore what is happening... at peace with the concept of 'breaking a few eggs to make an omelette'.

What did this girl do that deserved the vitriol of the 'popular' girls of the school?
She dared say ''YES'' when the school's popular boy invited her to a dance.

And to think her mom and dad brought the family from County Clare to America so the kids could experience the country.   What a fuckin' nightmare.

Phoebe Prince’s lilting Irish accent and wide smile made the 15-year-old freshman stand out at South Hadley High School, where she enrolled last fall after her family relocated from a tiny village in the west of Ireland.

Her principal called her smart and charming. A boy invited the new girl to the school’s winter cotillion, a highlight of the school year. But two days before the Jan. 16 dance, Prince died in an apparent suicide, after incessant bullying by classmates at the 700-student high school.

“In a school with that many kids, there are going to be issues,’’ Sergeant Robert Whelihan, a spokesman for the South Hadley Police Department said yesterday. “We are investigating what effects the bullying might have had on the suicide.’’

The bullying included disagreements over teen romances at school, school officials said. And it continued with taunting text messages and harassing postings on Facebook, the popular social networking site.

“The real problem now is the texting stuff and the cyber-bullying,’’ said South Hadley School Superintendent Gus A. Sayer. “Some kids can be very mean towards one another using that medium.’’

Sayer declined to comment on the exact nature of the bullying, but said much of it was done online or by cellphones.
