Student’s Suicide Raises Concerns Over Bullying Prevention

Phoebe Prince was new to South Hadley High School in Massachusetts. The 
15-year-old had recently arrived with her family from Ireland. Soon she 
was targeted by bullies — in person, on the phone, and online. Last 
month, Phoebe Prince committed suicide. Though school officials say they 
had intervened and disciplined the bullies earlier, Phoebe’s death have 
prompted parents to ask if more could have been done at the school and 
at home. We speak with Barbara Coloroso, who consulted with the South 
Hadley school district before Ms. Prince’s death. She says bullying can 
be stopped, but everyone has to do their part. And in Pheobe’s case, not 
everyone did.
