Two teens put an end to bullying at their school with a simple act of kindness
However, two members of the school’s football team, Kristopher Graham and Antwan Garrett, noticed what was going on and decided to do something about it. They gathered gifts for their classmate, including shirts, shorts and shoes, and presented him with everything, proudly showing him each item they had selected.
“He wasn’t smiling or anything, and I was like ‘I think this is going to make you smile.’ We was in the same third period,” Graham told. “I said, ‘I apologize for laughing at you and I wanna give something to you to make it up’ . . . When I saw people laugh at him and bully him, I felt like I needed to do something.”
“I was very happy,” Todd said of the moment. “I was shocked completely. You guys are awesome.” He also told them they were the “best guys of my entire life.” The video has been viewed over five million times, and according to Fox 13, people across the country are so inspired by the video that they want to send more clothes to Todd. The two students hope that the video will inspire others to reach out and help those who are less fortunate.
Even if we aren’t guilty of bullying ourselves, there are so many simple things we can do to make someone who is hurting feel worthy. Unless you have been bullied, you probably have no idea about the pain they are experiencing. But cruelty is happening even the highest levels of government.
