most students start looking forward to

there are some students though who dread
the idea of going to the prom because of
the bullying that they need to deal with
every single day this is the story of
when a bullied teen doesn't dare go to
school prom then 120 bikers knocked on
her door chanted perceiver is a 16 year
old girl from Hampshire England she
chose not to go to the prom due to the
bullying that she faces in school every
day
she suffers from rheumatoid arthritis
celiac disease and ulcerative colitis
she originally planned to go to the prom
and she bought a gorgeous white dress
with a beautiful tiara on the big day
Shannon decided though to stay home
Shannon's mother Claire Karstens was
very upset about the situation and her
heart was breaking for her daughter she
created a post on Facebook about the
incident that read if Shannon had gone
to prom tonight she would have worn this
beautiful dress thanks to nasty vile
bullies Shannon decided she did not want
to go and mix with scum that made her so
miserable for a girl that has had so
much to deal with in life celiac disease
ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid
arthritis she is one strong young lady
with an even stronger mind love you girl
the player was tired of her daughter
being bullied these awful people had no
idea what Shannon went through they knew
that she was often hospitalized and
sometimes for weeks at a time but this
just made the bullying worse Claire
couldn't figure out how being sick and
hospitalized became a reason to bully a
beautiful young girl it wasn't long
before Clara's Facebook post went viral
as soon as people heard about what
Shannon was going through they started a
fund the idea was to create a special
prom specifically for Shannon where she
for friends and acquaintances who didn't
bully her could celebrate with her while
they were raising the money Claire
mentioned that she wasn't trying to
bad-mouth the school however they should
have been doing something to stop the
bullying before it kept a young girl
from enjoying her prom well finally the
big night game strangers arrived at
Shannon's house to do her hair makeup
and nails
Shannon's special prom was held at st.
Vincent College and it was a huge
success it wasn't just a few friends who
attended the prom either there were
almost as many people at Shannon's from
as the actual school prom there were
about 100 people there many of her
friends attended and even some strangers
people from all over wanted to attend
Shannon's prom to show her love and
support the prom was decorated with
lights and there was a disco ball on the
ceiling there was a delicious buffet and
dancing all night long the prom itself
wasn't the greatest part of Shannon's
evening when she was at home getting
ready for her big night she heard a
thundering sound heading toward her
house when she went outside she saw 120
bikers in front of her house they were
all from a local motorcycle club called
go sport scooter club they heard about
everything that Shannon had gone through
at school and how bullies had kept her
from going to her school's prom well
they wanted the bullies to see that
Shannon had 120 great and slightly scary
looking guys on her side they wanted
people to see that there were people out
there who cared for her and wanted to
give her a great day the bikers waited
outside of Shannon's house until she was
ready to go and they gave her an escort
to the prom
one of the bikers who wrote a
three-wheeled bike gave Shannon a ride
to the prom when she got there she was
welcomed at the door by her boyfriend
and her closest friends when she went
inside she couldn't believe how many
strangers had come out to support her
according to Shannon it was the greatest
night of her life subscribe for more
