typical - schools don't care and seemingly never will

Documents: Bullied teen sought help from school

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. – Documents show the Massachusetts girl who committed suicide after what prosecutors call relentless bullying sought help from a school administrator a week before her death.

The documents released this week also show 15-year-old Phoebe Prince endured a day of taunts and verbal abuse at South Hadley High School before going home and hanging herself on Jan. 14.

The documents were filed in connection with criminal charges brought against six other students. They show the teen feared being beaten up and sought help from the school official.

Schools don't give a f'k about kids getting bullied because the bullied kids are the unpopular ones, not the ones into sports or cheerleading, so they are not important to the officials.

Hopefully, someday this will change, but not likely in our lifetimes...
