  • I think that although this is very touching, the fact that this had to be on TV is kinda sad. Of course ds people can become prom king/queen. Seriously, this shouldnt exactly be rare.

  • They are normal people..

  • Superstar, or whatever. Dont think you'd care if youre ignorant enough to post a comment like that

  • @TheRandomnessChick That's not even my username and stop misjudging people.

  • Avalanchesupero, seriously. Fuck you.

  • That's nice in all, but why is she crying? People with down syndrome aren't different from normal people... He's just a normal guy.

  • Awesome!

  • cool school...

  • Comment removed

  • @avalanchesuperstar FUCK YOU

  • Comment removed

  • @avalanchesuperstar I'm not going to say a "You don't have a soul!" comment because I'm agnostic, but you don't understand. He is going to live the REST of his life with this.

  • Comment removed

  • @OverlordYesh Thanks smart guy, yes I do know what the hell Down Syndrome is it's a disability and they have slurred speech and it affects them mentally. Of course I fucking understand, thanks smart guy.

  • @avalanchesuperstar then why the hell are you poking fun at him? Is it because you find pleasure? At least have a fucking heart!

  • @OverlordYesh If you noticed I removed the comment.

  • @avalanchesuperstar good. Now fuckin apoligize

  • @OverlordYesh I'm sorry for making that rude comment. It is mean to people who suffer with the disability day by day. Happy?

  • @avalanchesuperstar yes...just don't do it again.

  • If she's the homecoming queen then i'm not surprised that he's the homecoming king..

  • Is she crying because she has to loose her virginity to the homecoming king?

  • @QuantumProphet ahahaha,your so funny....

  • I'm starting to think that those with down syndrome are the normal ones...no really...what is normal? Displaying compassion, decentcy, love, loyalty and honesty?

    I should think that many of us have much to learn and strive to be...

  • 1 in 1000 kids is born with autism. that means it's really not that uncommon.

  • @TheAnarchanon everyone has defects buddy, if you think your genetic makeup is perfect, you're crazy

    silly troll!

  • @anononomos

    Of course everyone has defects, but those defects don't influence them in the way it does people with downs syndrome, thus calling them normal is completely stupid.

    And people calling them "normal" are completely in denial of the actual facts: People with down syndrome are defects that would have been abandoned if we lived 200 years ago.

    Society has accepted them now and takes care of them, but they'll never should be considered normal

  • @TheAnarchanon Your so fuc&$%! Do you know how disrespectful, idiotic, and obnoxious you just sounded!? I cant even find the words to express how much hatred i feel towards you right now, or ten seconds ago, right now, i feel very bad for you. People like YOU are "defects that SHOULD have been abandoned if we lived 200 years ago",By people like you, I mean, heartless and cruel tools. Have fun in hell, that is where I know you'll be . (wait, ur probably Atheist too!) uhg. You.disgust.me.

  • @jenalynnify

    I'm not heartless, just realistic: people like this are defects, they're genes have a major flaw and that's why they look, act and are different. You can pretend they are normal people all you want, it won't make it so.

    And threating them like they are won't help them either, they need special care. Care they wouldn't have gotten 200 years ago. 200 years ago, they would have been killed.

    That's nature: the weak die, the strong live

  • this made me cry. my brother has autism and i wish his school had the amount of heart this school does.

  • looks like a normal American to me

  • @zzzzJAGJEETzzzz Normal americans are not decent but jerks, the rest is the same normal american look

  • i want to go to this school.

  • i want to go to this school.

  • THIS IS PROOF THAT NOT ALL RETARDS ARE FAGGOTS PUSSY . JUST LOOK AT THIS KID HES GOING TO MACK ON THIS GIRL ON PROM NIGHT.

  • Yes he may have a defect but that doesn't make him any less of a person. I'm proud of this guy. =)

  • aww what a sweetheart! :)

  • hm, seems a bit too pitiful to me. i mean why is the girl crying? he´s a human being, so she like downgrading him by being so over-"compassionate" coz of his defect.. just saying..

  • @raulington But because ds people have a harder time in life with people putting them down all of the time *cough cough* Anarchanon, it's amazing to see that he's being treated equally. I think that's why she's crying. :) Js

  • @mittens8100

    They have a harder time cause they're retarded :) Js

  • you know he got laid that night

  • I wish all schools were like this one.

  • WTG Team Fenton and WTG the beautiful young lady who seemed to be truly honored and touched by standing in this young mans presence .

    As for Tyler....go for the gold hun. There are people who have less drive, determination and friends than you and guess where they will end up?

    Washing your car! Hugs and kisses to all the kids at Fenton HS that prove that kids are NOT always selfish and cruel...but aware and giving

  • My baby brother and my step brother have down syndrome. It hurts me so much to see people making fun of anyone with Ds. I'm proud of my baby brother and my stepbrother cuz they are way better than the people who are hating on them. The people hating are the ones who need to die in a hole

  • @bawkerfawker418

    They're retarded defects, you can be proud of it all you want, it won't change that

  • @TheAnarchanon You fucking basterd, your a defect. I hope you die in a fucking hole.. with penis eaters like you.. Calling my brother and my step brother defects.. FUCK YOU!

  • @bawkerfawker418

    Why are you so angry? It's the truth: if something goes wrong with an item during production, it's a defective item.

    If something goes wrong with a human in the womb, it's a defective human.

    Why do you think they have tests these days to check for downs syndrome and offer the option of aborting?

    People don't want defects

  • This is sickening. People with downs syndrome are defects: they should be locked away somewhere and left to die.

    Same way people don't buy broken goods: they're broken, they have no use in the market

  • @TheAnarchanon People wont like your comments, but you are 100% right. People that have down syndrome will never be able to contribute to society, they hold us normal people back. They shouldnt be treated as normal because they are not normal. I am sick of people being so nice to down syndrome retards. They pretty much have no value and should be removed from society.

  • @metathus You are a fucking dick! My baby brother and my step brother have down syndrome. Go die in a hole fucker!

  • @TheAnarchanon You should be locked away somewhere to die dick wad

  • @TheAnarchanon Are you fuckin kidding me?! My best friend has down sydrome! He is EXACTLY like us "normal" people. That word is a discrace, I think people that say down syndrome people are retards should be locked up themself!! You have no right to say something like that just because they're different. Down syndroms people are nicer, kinder people and they do something you don't. TRY TO BE NICE!!!! I hope you rot in tiny crawl space you son of a bitch.

  • @mittens8100 You go teddy bear! I looove you <3

  • @bawkerfawker418 Love you too Panda Bear <3

  • @mittens8100

    He isn't like normal people, stop kidding yourself. He is a defect, simple as that.

    Being nice doesn't change that

  • @TheAnarchanon ╭∩╮(︶︿︶)╭∩╮ bitch my bro has ds so stfu

  • @TakeItToTheHoop23

    Your point being?

    He is a defect, not what a human being is supposed to be. There is no use in acting like he isn't

  • @TakeItToTheHoop23  Bhaha I love you! :)

  • @TheAnarchanon Name one thing down syndrome people do differently besides learning and some speech problems?

  • @mittens8100

    They die younger, for one.

    Also, depending on the degree of malformation, their mental age doesn't go beyond a certain age; so some of them are not able to take care of themselves,...

    It's simple: they are a defect: something went wrong in the womb and they got an extra chromosome. That's not supposed to happen, the result is a defective human.

    Is it that hard to understand that humans are not supposed to look/act like that?

  • @mittens8100 nice

  • @TheAnarchanon there normal goddamn people you have fucking defect

  • @TheAnarchanon there normal goddamn people you have fucking defect

  • @TheAnarchanon there normal goddamn people you have fucking defect

  • I'll ignore your raping of the English language and simply reply to your message:

    THEY'RE not normal people, if you think they are normal, you have A fucking defect.

    Threating them like normal people doesn't change this at all

  • 0:28 now she has to kill herself...

  • @sirinferno just shut up you were the one making fun of special need kids in the first place

  • I don't see why she is crying :S it's as if the people voted him out of their own pity, he seems happy with his life why the fuck do we have to treat them as if they aren't happy or normal.

  • Why the fuck would someone dislike this video?

  • Aww!

  • lol what a retard

  • @sirinferno What's your problem?

  • @BrightNeonColourz i've got 99 problems but down syndrome ain't one

  • @sirinferno Good for you, you're lucky. my aunt has down syndrome so you can probably tell that it's a very touchy subject to me. What kind of person would call a person with downs a retard? A heartless person. That's it.

  • @BrightNeonColourz omg your'e saying your aunt is unlucky? omg that's so cruel, next you'll be saying her life doesn't matter and we should put people like her in camps omg

  • @sirinferno I never said she was unlucky because she has down syndrome, she was ridiculed as a child which makes me feel awful for what she went through.

  • @BrightNeonColourz don't feel awful for her cause she has down's syndrome. she's the one with the extra chromosome; that's the smile chromosome

  • @sirinferno I just wish i was around back then so i could've made them stop. I'm not saying she's unlucky, because she's very loved in our family and I just hate to see people make fun of people with disabilities. my brother shows in aspbergers and autism so to me it's the norm.

  • @BrightNeonColourz assburgers? did he catch that at mcdonalds?

  • @sirinferno Do you REALIZE how RUDE and INSENSITIVE you are?! I said ASPBERGERS! Why would you ever say aomething like that!

  • @BrightNeonColourz i looked up aspbergers and google couldn't find anything, so i assumed you were being mean about your brother and meant assburgers

  • @sirinferno Why would I EVER be mean about my brother?

  • @BrightNeonColourz i don't know, it's pretty mean of you :/ making fun of a mentally challenged american...

  • @sirinferno when did I ever make fun of someone? I already said I used "unlucky" in the wrong context.

  • @BrightNeonColourz i thought you just admitted you were being mean about your brother?

  • @sirinferno when?! and btw I mispelled it. it's aspergers

  • @sirinferno You are an irritating SOB xD I find it hard to be angry with you for calling him a retard when you have such an ability to annoy the shit out of someone with such ease. Congratulations, you should be proud of your incredible trait. It will take you far. You jackass.

  • @YoFreakyMother don't worry; just imagine somebody stole your scooby-doo lunchbox with a thermos full of chocolate milk; i'm sure you'll remember what anger is like

  • @sirinferno Hmm...I don't think you understood what I meant. But that's okay, I feel bad for insulting an idiot now :P You poor thing.

  • @YoFreakyMother i might be poor but at least i'm not a homo

  • @sirinferno Okay

  • @BrightNeonColourz My two year old baby brother has Down syndrome and he is the cutest thing in the world. I'd kill myself for him <3

  • @bawkerfawker418 aww :)

  • A girl at our local high school who has ds just got prom queen. My sister is friends with her sister. I went to the coronation tonight since my cousins were nominated for king. I cried a bit when they announced she had gotten it.

  • some of you people out here are HEARTLESS! Some of you have no idea what its even like to have or to know someone with a disability. I think this is very inspirational and i do not think it was a pity vote! I am blessed with a cousin who has a worse condition and everyone treated him with respect along with is brother who passed away a few years ago, both with the same condition. i only hope that for some of you, you see how much joy these kind of people put into ones life!

    RIP Matthew! ILY!

  • Why is this on the news....

  • its just a pitty vote ..

  • I'm glad to see someone with Down Syndrome involved in a school activity.

  • @USMCBlackOps, yeah we had something similar to that at my school, some kid I didn't even know was voted as freshman prince, really weird. But I don't think this one was a prank, even high schoolers can be mature some times.

  • I bet it was a prank... at my high school we nominated the freshman homecoming king to be a nerdy kid...a PRANK

  • @USMCBlackOps congradulations on the nomination.

  • It makes me laugh to see people troll on here with nasty comments. I'm sure If you guys were stricken with down syndrome or any disability, you wouldn't want anyone to mock you for it. Because it hurts to see people laugh at you. But you guys continue to write pathetic comments. Shows me how many people have no friends!

  • They did it for the LULZ

  • Ewww.

  • What a handsome homecoming King and Queen! Good job, Fenton!

  • i live in this town. FENTON FTW!

  • I hope the homecoming king has a good future, he proves that they CAN be great. My friend Dante had down syndrome, one of the coolest most chill kids i knew. so why do people hate? congratulations to him!

  • Must be a nice school if you can be popular without good looks, but by having a good personality.

    Better than my school...

  • it not nice to talk about somone who have disbitily.. how you feel if someone talk back at you like that.. dont call people fat and such.. it really hurtful to people..

  • Comment removed

  • LMFAO! What the fuck is wrong with that school? How could she win Homecoming Queen? Even the downs guy is way out of her league. The headline should be "Ugly FAT Chick voted homecoming queen"

  • LMFAO! What the fuck is wrong with that school? How could she win Homecoming Queen? Even the downs guy is way out of her league.

  • @VomitWarfare wat the fuck is wrong with u, u fucking faggot!

  • Oh my god, I love how a guy who has down syndrome getting voted prom king is SO CRAZY and SO UNREALISTIC that it's NEWS! Wow, culture.

  • they didnt show the part where he ate his crown. derrr derrr DEPP DERRRRRRRRRRRR

  • @rezmoneynwkubs its people like you that i hope get shot.

  • @MrTanner27 that sounds like a threat. im armed everywhere i go faggot. id love for you to try.

  • @MrTanner27 im armed at every moment dummy. if anything id be the one shooting someone. hopefully its you & dont be mad at me because that you have shitty genes and your moron wife crapped out a retard out of her busted womb.

  • @rezmoneynwkubs im 14. you mad bro?

  • @MrTanner27 you are in middle school. i have my own car and house. and fuck a lot of slutty girls. umad?

  • @rezmoneynwkubs no. i just have better things to do than troll around on youtube.

  • @MrTanner27 nah, umad.

  • @rezmoneynwkubs definitely -.-

  • @rezmoneynwkubs learn some grammar 

  • @ReplacingBox yeah, umad.

  • Why he is using a cake like a hat?

  • I never laughed so hard in my life

  • Oh I'm sure he'll have great success as an actor. Someone needs to burst his retarded bubble before he goes out to Hollywood and has his heart crushed.

  • Why is this news?

  • Good for him! I hope to see him on the big screen one day!

  • they act like hes dying? he s lucky he doesnt have a strong ds gene (:

  • You know he completely got laid by that chick that night.  The prom king always gets some action. You're the man, dude!!

  • this makes me so happy. i have a brother with downs and he too was voted homecoming king at his highschool in spokane wa. Never underestimate someone wtih downs, my brother also became the star bat-boy for our local baseball team and was featured in the paper.

  • It's not good to do things like that for people with syndrome of a down cause it just fills their head with false hopes! The real world will chew them up and spit them out! The only end result for people with this is becoming a paperboy!

  • @begoneyoubum , wow you completely suck! they can do anything they put their mind to! just because YOU may end up as a paperboy, doesn't mean you should take it out on the world...jerk

  • @allboutcheer

    I see you didn't get your paper on time did you?

  • @begoneyoubum u are rediculous... go back to school or uni and learn ur facts. not all kids with down syndrome have the condition at the same severity. there are many highly functional down syndrome kids becuase they are mosiac... im not gonna explain this complexity cos im pretty sure ur brain cant take that kinda knowledge. ur not a nice person.

  • the prom queen is on her period

  • @lisabob22 between that and his drool...that had to have been the messiest prom dance ever.

  • the homekomming queen is ugly as fuck

  • Wow they layed that on thick.

  • down syndrum kids and challenged kids can be some of the coolest kids ever! let me tell you! this kid marvin, who is challenged mentally, is a senior at my school, and he is by far the coolest, most popular kid. we all love him and were gonna vote him for prom king this spring!

  • 0:01 to skip

  • I agree with Computerdisplay

  • Tyler is obviously a capable young man. His condition has not impaired him and I hope he carries on from strength to strength. People need to realise what a condition like Down's Syndrome really means. We need to ignore all the haters.

  • wtf that girl is crying so much! omg

  • He is not a retard. most people call people with down syndrome retarded. just because of the physical appearance or the way they talk. but his grammar is fine and he looks like a smart kid. and i think this video was very touching. And I think that people who think otherwise about this kid should be ashamed about them selves. Same thing with Gays, Lesbians, short people, tall people, obese people, autistics, blacks, whites, people in diffrent regions regions of the world so SHUT UP HATERS.

  • @nana19483 You are now my friend! Thank you for commenting that!

  • They should have got him a hotter girl :(

  • love it! :) that girl was such a sweetheart.

  • Very touching. All involved should be proud!

  • @OooSNO3 GTFO and suck dick, probably your doing it right now!

  • my brother has ds and he was so happy when he was voted king of the prom

  • KING OF THE GROOGS

  • awwwwww! :)

  • That is beautiful. I have a high school friend with down syndrome. Oh, if only my school was just as supportive...

  • This is just beautiful and amazing! @ChristinaWatkinson, I must say that you're not ignorant, or brutal or anything of the sort. You're just plain stupid. enough said.

  • @savvy811 You're the one who's stupid. Oh wow,people felt sorry for a retarded guy and made him homecoming king.

  • just gotta say being a parent of my son who has ds I am absolutely proud of this young man and gives me hope for my little man especially as he is bright as a button. Its just ashame that many of these other comments are from people who either have not a clue and clearly have no major understanding of this condition and belive me the postives far outweigh the negatives, also please stop using words that you clearly have little understanding off. stop pigeon!! hoing remember human being first!!

  • Thia ia awesome.

  • Simple acts of kindness...change lives.

  • Aww, thats pretty damn cool actually.

  • same thing happened at my school. Some fatass got homecoming queen while all the hot chicks didnt get shit

  • Comment removed

  • What goes around comes around but when you're dead, you're dead.

  • Great story! The parents and teacher's must be so proud of the students at this school!

  • all the haters out there you do not no ty fitz he is one of the smartest most genuine kids you will ever meet christina watkins your a messed up person

  • Minus a small few of you, you should all be ashamed of yourselves! Having personally known both of these beautiful people, and graduated from this school where they actually care about who you are as a person, I can say that I think this is the coolest thing that Fenton High School has ever done. Out of all the Sporting and Fine Arts events, and awards this school cranks out every year, nothing can compare to the compassionate hearts these students had for a fellow classmate.

  • Not to mention you are all undermining what these students did for him. No one really cares what you think, so if you don't have something nice to say, keep it to yourselves. These students made dreams come true that night so maybe you should reevaluate yourselves if you think there is something "funny" about it. I think its funny that you don't have something better to do then make fun of a pure moment of kind heartedness and it makes me sick.

  • @mdizzle4791: It is a very touching story.  But I thought people with a condition like down syndrome don't want to get special treatment because of their handicap. It seems like they only voted him as king because he has down syndrome, which some people in his situation may have an issue with. Anyway, he seemed perfectly happy about it, so it was good.

  • Honey, homecoming isn't at all about outside appearence.

  • Homer Simpson: Ohhhh, that is just loser talk.

  • Why was she crying? That was embarrassing, even for him, come on.
