Kids around the El Campo, Texas area rally in support of Samuel Cerny, a high school boy who is being bullied at El Campo High School. After a text was shared on Facebook, the area kids have given their unconditional support to Samuel Cerny, a child who has had Epilepsy since he was an infant. Ellen, I couldn't email it to you because you only allow 1500 words or so, so I decided to post it here. This is the text that set off a huge amount of support and recognition from children and adults around the area. Today, our kids are wearing red in support of Sam and to show they are not cool with bullying... Here is the text that was shared yesterday and set off a huge uproar of support. This needs to be recognized! Hope someone, anyone at the Ellen show gets a chance to read this!
"ECHS (El Campo High School), Are you f’ing kidding me???? Seriously? Since my brother Samuel Cerny has started high school in El Campo, every time I call home to catch up with my family, they have a new story to tell me about how he’s been BULLIED, TAUNTED or PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED. My brother’s not perfect, he has had epilepsy since he was an infant, he speaks a little differently, he can be shy and sometimes socially awkward, but he’s a HUMAN BEING, not a punching bag. So that time he stood still while he was walking down the stairs in A building, he wasn’t blocking anyone’s way on purpose, he has having a goddamn standing SEIZURE and couldn’t move his legs. So what did his fellow students do? They pushed him down the stairs. His glasses are taken and hidden from him, his freaking lunch money, and backpack get stolen and people call him names like ‘gay, queer, and retard’ on a regular basis. So what did I hear about yesterday when I called home? Samuel was on his way to tennis practice when some kid came over and punched him in the face for NO REASON. When my sister saw his giant, swollen black eye in the morning and asked him what happened, he said he hit it on the headboard, before she got him to admit the truth of what happened. And these are only the things my family knows about! Samuel does everything he can to protect us from the abuse he receives, and we have no way to protect him. Now my little brother is getting ready for brain surgery in June. The doctors are going to remove the top of his skull and put it in a freezer for a week. Electrodes will be placed through the corpus callosum and to the right and parietal lobe of his brain. Then he gets confined to a hospital bed for a week and have as many seizures as the doctors can produce. After that the doctors will go in and cut out pieces of his brain and replace his skull. All of this because it MIGHT reduce his number of seizures. Maybe. Will that make you big shots at ECHS like him better? Does he have to go through all of that to ‘fit in’. I bet you feel real badass when you trip, and shove my little brother into the lockers don’t you? You’re so f’ing manly and badass that you have to prove it by making Sam’s life a living hell, making my mom cry when she hears about it and can’t do anything. Congratulations, you’ve proved your worth.
