INSPIRATIONAL SUNDAYS - BRIDGEWATER BROTHERS
This heartwarming news clip has gone viral for the past three weeks.
The video speaks for itself, so for those who have not seen this yet, please hit play!
Nowadays, bullying seems worse than what I remember as an elementary school child. Harassment is now goes beyond the playground too. With the popularity of Myspace, Facebook, YouTube and other similar social media outlets, bullies can strike at any time.
More kids seemed to be ridiculed, while less peers seem to be standing up for them. A lot of situations have escalated to unnecessary lengths, resulting in permanent mental scarring and even suicide. The growing population of internet bullies (of all ages) make the hope for a healthy social environment seem foolish.
Then, I saw this video.
And it has restored my faith in humanity. Without violence, these “brothers” show their support against bullying. It’s miraculous to me that instead of resorting to fists, these young boys have found an extremely creative and intelligent way to defend their friend. It’s touching to know that some kids are growing up with good morals and ethics. I applaud these amazing children for what they’ve done and their great parents for their guidance and support!
