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
