In 2007 Sophie was kicked to death because of her appearance when a group of boys decided that being a Goth, and being happy, was enough of a reason to attack them. She died in hospital afterwards.
Her mother set up the Sophie Foundation afterwards, a charity that aims to educate people about hate crimes directed at people in subcultures. Sophie Lancaster Foundation
Please have a watch and a listen and remember that the way someone looks isn't reason to discriminate against them.
