PHOENIX - A shocking story out of Massachusetts has a lot of people talking as many are outraged about what happened at a high school there.

15-year-old Phoebe Princes was harassed so violently that she could barely go to school and ended up taking her own life after she was sexually assaulted.

Four girls and two boys are facing charges in connection with her death.  The bullying went non-stop for four months.  Charges include statutory rape, assault and violation of civil rights.

Police say administrators at the school knew about the bullying, but did nothing to stop it.

We're taking a look at how bullying is dealt with in Arizona schools.  Arizona has a law the requires schools to have a policy to prevent and deal with bullying.
