A high school student's response to online bullying is winning praise from friends and family, who are proud of her bravery in the face of a mean-spirited post. Lynelle Cantwell was in math class Monday in Holy Trinity High in Torbay when she learned she and other students had been ranked in an anonymous online "straw poll" called "Ugliest girls at hth," which was posted on the social media site ask.fm.
The site allows people to make anonymous posts and comments. "It outraged me ... all of these girls are hurt because of this one person who has no heart or sympathy for anything," she told CBC News on Wednesday.
"I wanted to be the bigger person, and instead of fighting fire with fire, I decided to fight it a different way and make something that was really negative into something really positive."After thinking about the hurtful poll for the rest of the day, Cantwell decided to respond on Facebook Tuesday with
her own message.
I even wonder why they voted her as the "most ugliest girl". I mean, do you think she cheated? She is no were near ugly.
What do you think?
