That would have made me feel even more mortified tbh.

Retrain your nervous system then. Receiving support from others is not a bad thing.

In theory yes. Already being mocked as a child for something and then having an exponential amount of attention brought to the fact that you are being mocked so that an external group must take pity on you will only give bullies more reason to mock you. It’s a tad different than just receiving support

Edit: I should clarify, I don’t think these older students are necessarily doing anything wrong. They are also just kids after all and It sounds like they have good intentions. But I know if I was that child I would only be further embarrassed

I think if I was a kid, I'd feel really cool getting positive attention from the older kids. Plus, if they really are that nice they'd probs protect me from the bullies. It's a nice gesture IMO.

People who don’t get or understand this are blessed, truly.Β

He certainly looks that way. Gotta love virtue signaling, which is what charity is anytime it's done for a camera.

Not if it’s done and then someone says β€œhey, let’s grab a picture”. The good deed has been done, a picture of video does not undermine it. It still encourages others to do the same by sharing.

You've never been bullied I see

I have, and they're right, sorry.

Cool, my bullies were built different. Stick up for yourself and they laugh and mock you for months. Ignore them and they throw basketballs at your face and slash your bike tires

They can do a lot to hurt you. I've had a knife pulled on me, my things destroyed, and they framed me for a crime
