A teenage Irish girl who recently emigrated to America is feared to have killed herself after a
horrific campaign of cyber-bullying.
U.S. authorities are investigating reports that Phoebe Prince, 15, hanged* herself after being
tormented by text messages and postings on Facebook.
Other students at her school in Boston, Massachusetts, told police she was the victim of a campaign
of harassment* by bullies.
One message sent to the teenager shortly before she took her own life read: 'Go kill yourself'.
In the weeks leading up to her death, Prince had said she received harsh messages on her mobile
phone and nasty* comments on the social networking site Facebook.
The teenager was found hanging at the home she shared with her mother Anne, three sisters and a
brother on January 14th.
Her family had only been in the U.S. for six months after emigrating from the small village of
Fanore, Co.Clare, to start a new life.
