This is horrendous.

No don't get me wrong I have nothing against Americans
I'm just pointing out that they sensationalize everything
but when it comes to north of the border they snub their noses at us!

I agree that their media is crap. America is one of the world's best nations with the absolute worst media. I'm a news junkie but I can't handle American tv news, I do go to the websites where I can ignore all the friggin fluff the media down there seems so fixated on and click on the stories that matter. They're playing to the lcd for some reason. I hope our media doesn't follow suit.

and they have so much coverage on the george zimmerman case
only cuz it's a black and "white" issue
and in actual fact zimmerman is latino
but then again it's cause they got all the black activist involved like rev. jesse jackson, al sharpton.

So, does anyone know if this lady donated or is planning to donate some of the money?

I think im going to be a bit disappointed if i learn that she has no plans to donate some of it.

Yes, it was a horrible thing that happened to her. But it burns my britches to think she is going spend it on frivolous stuff.

Bullying happens to thousands, probably millions of kids every single day of their lives, forcing some to think the only way to get it to stop is to take their own lives. And not to make light of her situation or what happened to her, but I can think of other far more horrendous situations in the world than what happened to her that could also benefit from that amount of money, or any amount for that matter

My opinion, and i know im going to get burned for this, she shouldn't take all the money. The money far exceeded what is required for a nice vacation.

Start an anti-bullying fund, donate to a foodbank in her community, or afterschool program or to a church or habitat for humanity (or it's affiliate in the states) or something!

Take a nice vacation, sure, take a super duper vacation!! But pay it forward and help out your community or something along those lines.

remember....this is all my opinion and i am entitled to it. .

bash away if you want.....i have a thick skin

At the front of the bus, she was near the back. Apparently the bus was noisy and he had no idea any of this was happening.
