There weredozens of very mean comments. Many of the studentscalled her ugly, made fun of her acne, and said shedressed poorly, Some even used profanity directedtowards Gina; for example, one student posted a pictureof Gina's head on a pig's body, with the caption "Proof thatGina's mom f----d a pig that's why Gina looks like that."Another student posted a picture of Gina and wrote thatshe is "the ugliest girl at Lincoln." A third student wrote, "We need to clean up the mess atLincoln let's take out the trash (that's you GINA)!"Some Lincoln students accessed the page from school computers and left commentsthat were very cruel towards Gina. Students also started talking about the Facebook group atschool. One day in the cafeteria, some students, including Sherniece Hayes, started chanting"Take out the trash! Take out the trash!" while looking in Gina's direction and laughing.Gina started pretending to be sick so she could miss school. Hergrades started to drop and her parents became concerned.
