Whole school rallies around picked-on newbie

Seniors in action: David Shepherd and Travis Price

When the new kid showed up for his first day of 9th grade in his new school wearing a pink shirt, a group of older bullies started calling him a homosexual and threatening to beat him up. Tired of the harassment bestowed upon other students, a couple of seniors got together and hatched a plan. They bought 75 pink shirts and encouraged the entire student body to wear pink shirts to school on a specific day. Making sure that the bullied Freshman also had a pink shirt to wear, they sat back and marveled at the sea of pink, as they estimate half of the school was wearing pink.

Pissed off the bullies so bad that one of them was throwing chairs in the cafeteria.

Says senior Travis Price:

KidsKids reviewsKids reviews don’t need this in their lives, worrying about what to wear to school. That should be the last thing on their minds.

    Ugh. So sappy it almost seems as if it was written for an episode of Saved By The Bell.

    Now, now, oh jaded one. It’s actually refreshing to see people stick up for each other, and the fact that it is a bunch of teenagers, who are normally too self absorbed to give 2 shits about anything (the way WE were when we were teens) only makes it better.

    Kudos to whoever came up w/ the plan and the students who actually followed through w/ it! Great show of support. No more bullying = no more school shootings? Maybe?
