A Facebook group titled “Support Whitney Kropp” currently has 126,134 likes with users from across the nation sharing their support with the bullied teen.

Despite the malicious deeds of a few kids, Kropp has nothing but praise for her school.

“The school is fantastic. They treated me so well here; I couldn’t ask for me,” she said.

When asked by reporters if she had a message for others who are bullied, she added:

“Just stand up for what you believe in and go with your heart and go with your gut. That’s what I did, and look at me now. I’m just as happy as can be!” ~~~ end of article.
