Don't you just hate it when a punishment goes too far? Well it happened to a person who I know. A girl in my school got punished by the principal for a mistake that she made on Facebook by getting suspension AND by not being allowed to go to Senior Prom! I don't know about you guys but I think that the second punishment mentioned is NOT right, let alone unfair. My family and I have known this girl for seven years now and one thing that we can all agree on is that she is such a great person. She has always been a good friend to me and other people, helped babysit my little sister, would drive me home a few times when I needed it. Not to mention she is a good student too always trying her hardest to do well in her classes and to be on top of them. Sure she messed up, but don't we all deserve a second chance? Don't we all think that suspension is enough punishment? If you agree with me please sign this! All the support is needed.

The weight of this situation feels heavy today but seeing this level of public backing gives me some room to breathe. Exhaustion is setting in because the administration is still refusing to budge. I am choosing to stay focused on why we started this fight even when it feels like we are pushing against a wall.

Too harsh. Everyone makes mistakes and shes a good kid.

This is ridiculous. Suspension is meant to be the punishment not ruining a girls senior year over a facebook post. Let her go to prom!

Schools power tripping again. Leave the kids alone and let them have their fun. She already got suspended that should be the end of it.
