Grade 12 students David Shepherd and Travis Price decided something had to be done about bullying.

"It’s my last year. I’ve stood around too long and I wanted to do something," said David.

Saw this over at Fark and thought you guys would like to see some GOOD news about kids for once. God bless those boys!

Here! Here! Bully for them! Seriously, a terrific non-violent awareness solution. There's hope for future generations yet!

Wow. Around here plenty of dudes wear pink.

If you wore pink at my high school (and were non-white), you were forced to leave school grounds and change clothes. I guess the teachers didn't notice the groups of asian kids wearing full-on red or blue.

Good story, nice to see that it's not always bad stuff that appears in the newspapers.

That was a great article to see. Nice to see some people still are willing to have a backbone.

That's a great story, thanks for the link.

What would have been even better is if all the students wearing pink, instead wore shirts that listed the names of all the bullies on the front, and said, "Bug one more kid for wearing pink and everyone wearing these shirts will gang up and take turns kicking your face" on the back.

Then one student stood on the lunchroom table, and spoke about how we are all the same inside. The bullies looked on smugly, but someone started clapping. Soon another. Then the whole cafeteria was on its feet clapping in rhythm together, as the disgraced bullies stormed out!

/HEY HEY HEY HEY! OOOOWAAAH! Don't you forget about me... Don't don't don't dont!

Lol great story!!!

Of course, if schools in America made it compulsory to wear a school uniform (Like the rest of the world), they wouldn't have this problem in the first place.. But still, good to see.

very touching. but what would have been a better story is..

Then one student stood on the lunchroom table, and shouted GET THOSE MOTHER TRUCKERS!. The bullies looked on smugly, but someone started punching. Soon another. Then the whole cafeteria was on its feet, their bloodthirsty hearts beating in rhythm together, the disgraced bullies were lynched like the artistocracy in the french revolution

i hate bullying but what I hate worse is people who let themselves fall victim to it. No kid at school should be a victim of bullying. Put up your fists and stand up for yourself. If everyone the bully picked on did that, do you think it would go on much longer?

Perhaps, but there'll always be some type of bullying in schools.

and there shall always be a pink shirt there to combat it.

Edit, actually, no there won't. Isn't it sad that this is so uncommon that it makes national news? Man, bullies have it made for the most part.

Although I agree in spirit, it doesn't always work. This ain't the movies where the little guy magically takes down the big guy, teaches him a life lesson about how we all should love each other, and (in some cases) gets the girl. Chances are when you put up your dukes, someone's gonna get hurt. And even if you do win, there's no promises the bully isn't come back and rain a s**t storm on you. (or those you care for) I say this as a person who got into fights almost every year of school; sometimes you should just take the insults and walk away.
