What Really Happened to Phoebe Prince?

Suicide in general is a delicate topic to debate; as you may inadvertently insult someone else’s point of view. From the kid’s parent’s perspective, you can argue that the six kids are being punished enough. They were kick out of school, they have been focus intensely by publics rage and the death of phoebe will haunt them for the rest of their lives. On the other hand, From Phoebe’s parents perspective you can also argue that those kids should be punish to the full extent of the law.

The article “What Really Happened to Phoebe Prince?” concluded that the six kids facing charges against Phoebe’s death may have been punished enough as it will impact their lives forever. An argument can be made that the authors’ logic is sound. It is true that the six kids have been extremely criticize by the media and judged by the public for Phoebe’s suicide, but what the author did not take in account is that the suicide of Phoebe could have been prevented.

From another perspective, Phoebe’s suicide is direct end result of the six kids bullying Phoebe. If only Phoebe was not bullied, all those lives would not be ruined. Phoebe’s death was not only a devastation for Phoebe’s parents, but also to the six kids and the parents of the six kids held accountable for Phoebe’s suicide. In my opinion, the six kids should be held responsible and should be punished by the law, because their actions lead Phoebe to take her own life. I would also recommend that those six kids should not be punished to harshly. They will carry that burden with them for the rest of their lives which will impact their future greatly.
