Re: So sad: Phoebe Prince
I can't help but feel sympathy for the aggressors, twisted as they may be. They are children, and because of the national attention this is bound to receive, they will be treated likely far more harshly than the law will dictate. Had the girl simply got her parents involved, or the faculty, or simply refused to go to school, the aggressors would have been at worst expelled.
She killed herself though, and now their lives will be devastated. I'm not saying what they did was not wrong, but as someone who was bullied throughout school and never felt the need to take my life, I have a hard time feeling sorry for someone who would make that choice.
