So this girl goes to her graduation, and she does something sexually provocative on stage. So they decide not to give her a diploma. They say, get off the damn stage, you slut.
Check this out.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:12)
We all know it. It's the time of the year where you see viral videos from graduations just like this. Locally here at home, there's a split decision on if this move went way too far.

**Keith Hodge** (1:27)
It moved too much. That's too much. See how long the dress and everything is.

**Tyveon Campbell** (1:32)
She covered.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:36)
Meet Tyveon Campbell.

**Tyveon Campbell** (1:38)
I will be attending Georgia State University this fall.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:40)
She says she'd been telling friends, family, and even classmates for weeks that for graduation at Chicago Tech Academy High School, her exit was going to be memorable.

**Tyveon Campbell** (1:50)
Yes, I gave many warnings. I told my friends, family, and I told my peers and my teachers. I said I'm going to do a split on stage, but no one took me serious. And when I did it, everyone was shocked.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:02)
She followed through after walking across the stage at the Harold Washington Cultural Center. Campbell waved to the crowd, dropped it into a split with a dance move, popped back up to accept her diploma, except it never came.

**Tyveon Campbell** (2:15)
I did a pretty princess wave, did my split, got back up, and I tried to reach for my diploma, and I didn't get it. And I was confused at first. I thought they mixed up my name.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:27)
Video of the moment shows Campbell looking back towards school officials as the audience cheered.

**Keith Hodge** (2:32)
The principal be telling her, now don't give her nothing. She looked around her, don't give her nothing.

**Kevin Hodge** (2:37)
That sound like the stupid mama.

**Keith Hodge** (2:41)
Make a walk out.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:43)
Tie me on.
The reaction from the crowd was loud. Campbell says the only person who took issue with the celebration were school leaders.

**Tyveon Campbell** (2:53)
My principal, Ms. Shackleford, she told me I need to think of a way to make up for what I've done. And this was supposed to be a celebratory moment, and I made it about myself.

**SPEAKER_7** (3:05)
The 18-year-old says she was escorted out of the ceremony and still has not received her diploma. She also says she never saw any written rule prohibiting dances or celebrations during the commencement.

**Tyveon Campbell** (3:17)
We did receive rules, but the rules had nothing to do with what you can and cannot do while you walk across the stage.

**Kevin Hodge** (3:24)
Some people actually need rules to follow so they'll be classy.
Look like your parents, your mama, most of all, didn't teach you class. Yeah, that wasn't a split. You did two pumps at the end.

Chronic migraine is 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.

**SPEAKER_11** (4:13)
Botox, on a botulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine before they start. It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month. It prevents on average eight to nine headache days a month versus six to seven for placebo.
