One of the articles linked says in the wardrobe.

Yes, that's her home. It's just a few blocks north of the school on the main road. Her family rented the upper floor of that house.

Prince hanged herself from a stairwell at her home in January

was it indoors or outdoors? And was it the same scarf she wore to school, the day she was found...? Just wondering.

Not having alot of faith in the authorities of South Hadley, at this point, I'd like to know more about how she died. Are we sure it was suicide?

Nothing has ever been suggested otherwise. Does anyone know if she left any note?

I've heard wardrobe, closet and stairwell. I've sort of gathered that it may have been a wardobe/closet at the top of the interior stairwell at the front of the house, through the front door, not the outside stairs in the back. There is a picture out there of a boy that took part in the funeral that appears to be inside the house at the front, with the picture taken from somebody above him. The front door can be seen behind him.

The scarf is pretty consistent in the reports I've read (supposedly given to her for Christmas by the sister that found her).

""She really did fit in, she was going to go to the dance, and she did have allot of friends, she was going to have a good time, but something just got to her," said Jessica Chapdelaine."

None that I've heard of. I did see in one story (and I cannot remember where) that she left her phone plugged in (to show the texts, emails, etc presumably). That may have come from an account on an Irish website. Will post a link if I can remember where I saw that.

One of the administrators I think might have said something about a diary as well, but I'm unfortunately vague on that as well.

I've not heard of a note. Has anyone else?

If that assay attributed to her was written by her, she was a very good writer (especially for her age).

Had to post this. This man should be fired for this lie, alone... imo

"Suicide Massachusetts Bullying | Schools chief: We’re unfairly blamed in bullying-related suicide"
The 15-year-old girl who hanged herself last January after enduring months of bullying from schoolmates failed to alert others to her plight, the superintendent of South Hadley Schools said Thursday.

The girl, Phoebe Prince, "was apparently a very private person; she bore a lot without talking to friends or with her parents or with anybody at school," Gus Sayer told CNN.

wonder if he saw Phoebe that day...

C C, master barber at Werks Men's Grooming next door, said he saw mourners arrange the memorial outside her home Friday morning.

Prince used to pass by the barber shop on the way to and from school and when she took her small dog for walks in the neighborhood, Connor said. Connor met Prince a few months after she moved in. He asked her what kind of dog she had and what part of Ireland she was from (he played soccer there and immediately picked up on her accent.)

"She seemed like a nice, polite young girl," Connor said. "It's hard to tell what type of people would be bullied."

Examining the photo there are some distinctive qualities...look at the "grid" like brick on the ground..? Is it brick? What is that THING behind them? Can we somehow verify the location as South Hadley? Or near the school? The photo looks to be taken from above...? Second floor? I hope someone from the area will speak up...they may not be able to confirm the people, but even the location would be a start...any ideas, people?

I looked through all kinds of google links earlier this afternoon and found many pictures of the school, but none that could be identified as this area exactly. There is at least one area shown in the pictures that looks as if it is a central stairway perhaps -- with windows that look out toward the school grounds. This would have been one place to see in several directions and take a photo. The school is constructed of brick so I would assume there could be brick type of walkways around it also. The object in the background appears to perhaps be a concrete bench, but I could not make the picture any clearer to determine that for sure.

I've asked on that latest picture thread where the picture was taken and if it was the last day or earlier. If it really is her and its on school grounds a student might very easily recognize exactly where that is.

I just do not understand the violence of these kids. Hateful, spiteful, sure, I remember all of that, but the physical violence girls are inflicting in Phoebe's case and in others is just something I don't remember from my HS days (20+ yrs ago).

And the boys. What the hell is the thought process of Sean that leads him to date her, break up and join his current/ex gf in abusing this girl? The gf insane jealousy I can wrap my mind around, but him?

Sorry to ramble here, but I just do not understand the thought process of these people.

My female friend got beat up by a boy right in the school. I saw it but was too scared to help in case he turned on me. I feel bad about it even now.

I've known about that english class blog site of Phoebe's since last week (via The Litterbox blog), but hadn't posted it anywhere. Now that its on Facebook (inevitable) it will likely get overrun with trolls before eventually getting pulled down.

There are four or five essays total there.
