Kids will always be kids and while I agree that schools should impose (and actually uphold) stricter punishments, I think more focus should be placed on giving bullied kids different options so they never have to resort to such horrible measures.
Basically it's a question of whether you believe that this sort of attention to bullying related suicide scares bullies and makes them realize the consequences of their actions or if it shows depressed kids a way out where they will be made into some what of a maurder.
Like I said, there are kids still making fun of her on that FB page despite her death... so I don't know if the worst bullies, the ones that inflict the real damage will ever get the message.
