Whitney Kropp was thrown into the spotlight by her peers who nominated her to be on the homecoming court as a prank. Which made her feel like "trash" she thought about killing herself after finding out that it was all a joke. But she would not let her peers bully her to that extent. Whitney stayed on the court to prove to everyone how strong she was and she would not let bulling stop her from having fun. She tells kids not to let people bring you down. A Facebook support page that was made for her already has 96,000 likes. Whitney is constantly getting e-mails and messages from people telling her how much she inspired them and how proud they are of her to stand up and not let people get her down.

This reminds me of the movie Queen Sized. In the movie Maggie Baker is elected homecoming queen as a prank and goes against the advice of her mom and administration to reclaim her pride. It is a excellent movie and if you have not seen I strongly suggest you do.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that she stayed on court. I wonder how the students are feeling now that she has over 96,000 likes and getting messages.
