Phoebe Prince was only 15 years old

She had settled in a cozy Massachusetts town from Ireland. Prince evidently had never seen anything like the bullying the Mean Girls of South Hadley had to offer bullying.

She was always being "put in her place" by the clique while others saw and did nothing. Due to their popularity, the Mean Girls of Hadley had more freedom in what they could do than the less popular bullies.

  • Sean Mulveyhill, 17 – statutory rape, violation of civil rights, criminal harassment, disturbance of a school assembly
