The article above entails in how a young girl is bullied to where she is driven toward suicide. In most bullying stories I have heard, victims of bullying are driven toward suicide. The ten-year-old girl in the article committed suicide after a video of her and the person who bullied her was posted on Musical.Ly. The fight was outside of school grounds, and the fight was also not during school hours. This article reminded me of a discussion we had in class regarding whether schools should be responsible for resolving bullying situations among their students. Although, most altercations between students occur outside of school grounds and school hours I think schools still should be held responsible. Doing so, I think schools could prevent suicide attempts from occurring.

The Prince's take on cyberbullying to me was really interesting. I think that his input on how people should react and handle cyberbullying would be beneficial, for it makes people aware of how serious such a situation is.
I agree with the fact hat schools should have some form of authority over cyber bullying among their students. Although they do not have the most power since things are online I do believe that they can have some form of action. I believe people are ignorant of what exactly comes with freedom of speech as people are not given the liberty to infringe upon the rights of others safety, but htta's another story. Nonetheless, I also like the Prince's actions and acknowledgment of cyber bulling and the steps he has chosen to take to curb the rate of suicide due to trolls on the web.
