It's a familiar story that unfortunately too many people have seen with their very eyes and is quite familiar, but it's a story that most put in the back of their minds and out of their hearts.
You know that this type of thing exists but you say, "Hey that's what kids do." It somehow becomes the ritual of a crude system of teenage hierarchy where no one wants to be at the bottom. So these types of behaviors are excused, leaving many teens silently relieved that it's not them. So they say nothing and stand by and watch these tragedies that take place in almost every school in this country.
Whitney Kropp could have been a statistic pretty easily. She could have been another promising young life lost to one of the top five causes of death for teens.
She could have just been another smiling face on an obituary, leaving loved ones to wonder what happened while the perpetrators shield themselves of any responsibility.
But that didn't happen.
Whitney Kropp looked Death in the face and said, No.
She was picked for Homecoming Queen in her Michigan high school as a joke but Whitney Kropp made it crystal clear: she is no joke.
She will stand on the podium as Homecoming Queen with the world standing right behind her with our full support.
To Whitney, you may not know the magnitude of the decision you just made to choose life over death. I know that you will inspire other young people who are thinking of ending their lives over bullying that there is another way.
You are a shining example of what true heroes are made of. You don't have to be the star cheerleader or the quarterback of the football team.
One needs to just stare adversity in the face and say...
Not me...and not today.
Thank you for standing up for yourself and showing others that death is not the answer. Not one more life lost to suicide.
Not one.
