Bullying in high school is an epidemic that has its roots in almost every school. Children who are not taught to embrace those who are different are usually those who are on the giving end of the bullying exchange, while those who are different or envied are the ones that are on the receiving end. In the UK and US, bullying (now with the added edge of cyber bullying) has become an issue that cannot be ignored. Shannon Purcifer has been on the receiving end of bullying for years. She decided not to go to her high school prom to avoid her bullies. Her mother, Claire, was not having it and decided to pull out all the stops with the help of kind strangers and community members.

Shannon Purcifer is just like any other high schooler – she wanted to go to prom to enjoy a night out with her boyfriend and experience all that high school had to offer. Unfortunately, bullies at her school prevented Shannon from fulfilling her prom dream. She has been a victim of bullying for years, getting more and more extreme as the years go on. Shannon is bullied because of her illness – ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid arthritis.
