High School Kid Stands Up To Bully With Help From Over One Hundred New Friends
The bully actually apologized to Halsey, and I doubt they will be acting all jerky to anyone again.
I love this story and I know that not every bullied kid has a posse of over one hundred to get their back, stuff like this gives me faith in the world that all of the strangers cared enough to show up on a whim to support a high school kid who was being tormented.
From Katu.com:
“It’s just unbelievable,” Halsey said. “I now know whenever I get bullied I’ll raise my head up and say, ‘Sorry, I have too many friends to think I’m being bullied.'”
But even Halsey knew the support was bigger than him. It was for anyone who’s ever been bullied.
“If you’re being bullied, stand up and express yourself,” he said.
And I know I’ll be showing my own kids this video after dinner tonight, just as a cheerful reminder to them that bullying is wrong and if they are being bullied, they should tell a grownup.
I think the bully learned his lesson, and it seems Halsey will be just fine. Now I hope we get updates on who he goes to prom with!
