Stormy Rich, 18, photographed by her school in Umatilla, on Wednesday, May 23, 2012 after being reprimanded for standing up to bullies on behalf of a mentally challenged student on a bus from Umatilla High School. Though she had permission to ride the bus originally her privaledge has been revoked as a result. |
Rich told Fox 35 about the mean middle school bullies: "They would be mean to
her, tell her she couldn't sit on certain spots on the bus. They were giving her
food that they put in her
mouth. I actually had to tell her to spit it out because she didn't
understand."
Their response: Ban Stormy from riding the bus.
Stormy Rich will graduate next week with a 3.67 GPA and has been awarded scholarships. She strives to continue to help others and plans to start nursing studies at Daytona State College.
Still, is this mentally challenged girl still being bullied? Will it get worse since the students who ride the bus know they will not be punished? Shouldn't the school do something about bullying?
