Bullied Student Finds a Crowd Gathered at the School Gym - The Reason Why Goes Viral
Bullying is an extremely stressful situation for anyone; as a child, it negatively effects their social, physical, emotional, and mental health. It is found to be linked to depression, anxiety, and low self esteem.When a South Carolina student, Tae Moore saw that his classmate, Taylor Bates was being bullied for the way he looked and dressed, he decided to treat him with kindness. He went out of his way to buy Bates a new pair of Jordans. This incident was captured in a video by Tae’s friends and was posted online, after which it immediately went viral.An Act of KindnessWhen Tae saw his classmate being bullied, he reached out to him and asked for his shoe size and told him to meet him the next day at the school gym. Confused and nervous, Bates went to him and saw that a small crowd had gathered.Upon seeing him arrive, Tae walked towards Bates and showed him the new Retro 1 Jordans that he had bought for him. Bates was shocked when Tae reached down to tie the laces of his new shoes. Tae assured him and told Taylor to let him know whenever someone bullied him. They shared a hug and Tae was left speechless and teary.A Viral PostLater that day, Tae posted on his social media about the incident to set an example for his peers. This kid go to our school named Eazy-E. He likes to rap and etc., he said he wants to be a rapper, just trying to chase his dream but kids at school like to bully him and pick on him and talk about the way he dresses and looks, so I went and bought him some Jordan’s.Tae MooreTaylor responded to the post and thanked him for his kindness.“He said, ‘I heard people have been bullying you, so I wanted to get you these to make you feel better, and when he said that I hugged him and I almost cried, and I cannot thank him enough,'” Taylor commented.Treat People With CompassionUsually, people who are bullied feel ashamed to speak up about it to their parents or school authorities as they often feel like a burden to others. The scars of bullying remains even when the bully isn’t physically present. In such times, support and kindness shown from fellow classmates can help them speak up for themselves. Tae’s compassion not only warmed Taylor's heart, but also made him feel like he has someone to rely on while fighting his battles.More from Goalcast:Girl Is Bullied for Her “Cursed” Skin – Today, After Proving Everyone Wrong, She’s Become a Famous ModelBullied Boy Loses Hope After a Priceless Gift From His Grandmother Is Stolen – But His Best Friends Feel OtherwiseGirl Who ‘Can’t Smile’ Is Constantly Bullied by Classmates – Years Later, Proves Everyone Wrong and Becomes a Supermodel
She Represented the Good in Humanity During Its Bleakest Hour - WWII Veteran Reunites With His First Love After 78 Years Apart
The thought of World War II brings back memories of death, loss, courage and sacrifice. It was also a time when a small piece of humanity and kindness was treasured for a lifetime.One such act of kindness took place over a jam sandwich, and is what made the brief encounter with Huguette so special for Reg Pye.He Kept Her Photo Safe in His Wallet for 78 Years picture of Huguette that Reg kept in his wallet for 78 years - with her name and address on the backThe British soldier, Reg Pye, served with the 224 Field Company, Royal Engineers as a driver carrying sappers, mines and ammunitions during the Battle of Normandy. In June 1944, while assisting the Allied invasion of mainland Europe against the German enemy at an unknown village in the area known during the war as the Falasie Gap, he spotted an unknown French teenage girl."There was also a slice of bread. He put margarine on with a paintbrush and we also had a dollop of red jam. We walked back to where I had parked my van and I shared the pilchards (a small sardine) between me and this other chap. Then I looked up and there was a girl standing in front of me. I didn't see her coming.”RELATED: Stranger Walks By Homeless Poet – Her Kindness Leads to an Unexpected ReunionPye recalls her wearing a “shabby white dress” and staring at him. He offered her the pilchards he had but she denied and continued to stare. Confused, he wondered what she was staring at and looked down to his bread. He offered her the bread but does not remember if she took it. What he does recall vividly is how she ran across the village square and into the church. He never saw her again.The next morning, he found that she half filled his mess tin with milk and left a picture of herself outside a French presbytery with her name and a message written on the back. And that was the photograph he kept safe for all these years in the hope of finding her one day."In the bleakest of times this bit of humanity interaction made a huge mark on my life," Reg said.Reg was 21 years old and Huguette was 14 when they met each other.A Social Media Campaign Brought Them TogetherReg offered a jam sandwich to Huguette just like the last time they met.When Reg’s wife of 72 years died, he tried to find Huguette with his son’s help but failed. Twenty years later from then, after hearing the story, a volunteer Paul Cook, from the Taxi Charity for Military veterans, an organization run by black taxi drivers which arranges free trips for veterans to Belgium, Netherlands and France, started a social media campaign that successfully reunited the pair.Reg, 99, showed Huguette, 92, a mother of three, the picture he kept safe for 78 years and shared a jam sandwich with her. He also offered a can of pilchards which she denied just like all those years ago, now with a smile on her face.RELATED: Childhood Sweethearts Separated at Age 8 Find Love Again at Their School Reunion"She was very prim and proper. We had a good welcome, the best 4 to 5 hours of our lives."Huguette was “extremely touched” to know that Reg had tried to find her. Extended family and friends helped translate their conversation as they sat and drank Champaign together. At the end, they hugged and kissed each other on the cheek. Huguette laughed and said they would have to get married now. Red accepted her proposal as she “vowed” to break up with her current boyfriend in the care home to be his wife.When Fate Designs the Perfect Happily Ever After We meet so many people in our life.
