I only had time to read a couple of the articles, but overall I think there answering a lot of the questions that have come up in my mind; what's going on (specifically) with the Phoebe Prince case, what other examples of bullying are out there recently that are making an impact, and how are the students in these schools reacting or behaving after bullying has made such an impression?
I think that the Rutger's article on the bullied victim, Tyler Clementi, is a good example of another incident of bullying or harassing when compared to the Phoebe Prince case. I would like to learn more about what Rutgers University is doing in response to this case and what is going on, if anything, in a hearing against the people who secretly video taped him with the other male. I would like to know the other male's reaction; was it a set up, did he run and hide, did he go to the school, was he friends with Clementi? The story was short and a little vague and I would like to see it develop more, especially since the harassment and hatred against homosexuals is a current and on-going issue.
The article on the student at Phoebe's high school was well written. They called themselves the "South Hadley Superheroes" and rightly so as the article shows them changing their school atmosphere and what other think about it. This was my favorite article because it went into so much depth on the students that actually went ti school with Prince, making these students some of the primary targets from which to gather reactions.
