Sydney Spies, After Third Yearbook Photo Rejected, Seeks Redress
By Katie Kindelan | ABC News Blogs
The Colorado teenager who made national headlines when her racy senior pictured was rejected by the editors of her school yearbook has been the victim of bullying and discrimination and will continue to fight after the school rejected a third photo and used her school ID photo instead, her mother says.
Miki Spies, the mother of Durango High School senior Sydney Spies, told Westword magazine that she and Sydney's father plan to file a complaint with the Durango, Colo., school board and superintendent in the hope that they "acknowledge that there's been a lot of mishandling of this situation."
"Sydney feels very bullied, by the entire school, basically," Spies, 44, told Westword. "The school has been awful and the kids have been awful. She's received very little support in any way from anybody. There's been a ton of cyber-bullying, where people can say whatever they want without looking the person in the eyes. It's been extremely hurtful for our entire family."
When I first saw this photo I thought it was a bit racy. I mean my senior photo was just me in a polo shirt with my fist on my chin like a douche. That said, this girl is just a blonde in a gold skirt. She wasn't in a meat dress or straddling a pole. And I know how kids can be on the Facebook. I know this gal might be going through some stuff, but she just needs to keep her head up. While those jealous, hating hags bothering you will be taking the walk of shame in Boulder next year you could be guest starring on Glee. Shake them Haters off girl!
