Ten days ago, Phoebe was walking home from school when one of the Mean Girls drove by in a car. An insult and an energy drink can came flying out the car window in Phoebe’s direction.
Phoebe kept walking, past the abuse, past the can, past the white picket fence, into her house. Then she walked into a closet and hanged herself. Her 12-year-old sister found her.

for years, and the world, sadly, has seen the bullying
on screen, as six of her classmates attacked her, filmed
the attack, and posted it on YouTube.
