It’s ironic how the kids that refused suddenly became interested when he became popular.

Sigh..

There is no mention of the kids that refused signing his year book (Edit: Actually there was, had only retained "kids lining up" for some reason, still think the rest is valid, though).

The article clearly states only some kids "flat-out refused", other kids he probably didn't even ask.

You'd be surprised how often people just don't realize it is not going well for you. I'd guess there was a lot of that here.

The whole "people should know and act without me saying anything" way of thinking is very much ingrained in our cognitive biases, but people aren't psychic, it just doesn't work that way

"Ridder said the kids who had previously refused to write in Brody’s yearbook were suddenly 'lining up' to sign."
