Girl wants name off naughty list
A 7-year-old girl wrote a letter to the Huffington Post after she spotted her name on the naughty list

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Ella Christie says she's a good girl. The 7-year-old makes good grades, and she says she's only been in trouble just one time this year in school.

That's why she can't believe her name is ranked No. 1 on a Huffington Post list of 'Names that most often appear on the naughty list.'

"I did not like seeing that," Ella told WXMI-TV. "I kind of thought that everyone would see that, like my friends would, and think I was naughty and not be my friend."

Now, she wants the Huffington Post to check it twice. She sent this letter to those "publisher people" asking them to remove her name from the naughty list.

    Dear Publisher People,Hi, I'm Ella and I would like to tell you that the Bad Behaved child name list that you poblished is blony because #1 on that list was MY NAME! That made me cry!!! I've oly got into trouble once Just once in every grade! Flips are bad and I've only gotten one flip in my life!Your Ferius Friend,EllaP.S. I would very much apricate it if you took that article right of the news.

Ella says she's still waiting for a response.

"I haven't heard anything back," Ella said. "They didn't really seem to care that I didn't like it."

The Huffington Post says the names were complied from an education rewards program which collected data from nearly 60,000 students across the country. You can view that full list by clicking here.
