Nothing says enjoy your school cafeteria food like hearing the words “Move it whale!” For Krysten Moore this became the melody of her lunchtime experience. Unfortunately, it didn’t end there. Krysten was pushed into lockers, stalked online and lied to. She was also manipulated to tell personal stories which were later used against her and then “websites were created posting false and crude remarks about her” (STOMP Out Bullying). Krysten Moore is one of many students who experienced bullying in school. It’s time for schools to fight back, create awareness and have zero tolerance.
