Linda Theret was the principal at the time (so if she wasn't there when you went to the school it was probably after 2006). Karissa Theret the principal's daughter was the "ringleader" of the Fab Five (which they called themselves) ... they self published thier antics on Myspace and YouTube (you can still see some of them, though many of the girls have made thier profiles private now). Karissa also has a facebook. I assure you the pictures are real, the bullying was real and the News Reporters didn't make the facts up ... there was enough proof to suspend the girls and those who allowed them to reign ... do the research ... any one who says this or other bullying cases don't exist are nieve and probably are on the bully side of things ... but I think the headlines lately with children killing themselves due to bullying is more than enough proof that it exists ... though the scandal isn't about the bullying as much as the out of control girls who did as they pleased and thought they could not get in trouble for it.

Just my humble opinion from a state away...

It seriously has like 12 students. And it was never populated in the first place. No one cares about it. Boyd has like 3100 kids, and High has 2200 kids. And there's really no such thing as bullying in Mckinney when you're in High School. Kids will mess with you, all in good nature, but it's people like you with 8 foot poles up your asses that take stuff the wrong way. Lol, North. Is. Shit.

Soo, yeah. Don't get the wrong impression of Mckinney just because some stupid whores did stuff every High School cheerleader does.

Those girls and the mother principal and the deputy deserve everything they get. I would have loved for someone to stick the girls head in pigs shit to see how they would feel getting bullied. Kids today get away to easy because communication between people is not there. They talk via SMS or computers and don't feel the reaction of the other person when they speak. Good on the cheerleader coach as she had balls to stand up and be countered when it needed it to be. To the people that get bullied remember tommorrow is another day and to those people that bully remember the word called "kalma"! I saw the movie today in Australia.

These girls were out of control and did not care about anyone but themselves. This kind of behavior gives ALL cheerleaders a bad name. I thank the coach for fighting for what was right. Turning your head is why this type of behavior was allowed to happen. Coming forward and telling the truth (or selling her story) is why this is not happening at this school no longer. The so called principal should NOT ever be allowed to run a school again. She is a disgrace, plain and simple. What are these girls going to do in the real world? I'm sure they girls are learning the hard way what the real world is. I can not believe anyone would take up for these girls ever. DISGRACEFUL!!!!!

All those rumors about the girls running the school is ridiculous. I had never even heard of the "Fab Five".
