He stopped worrying after receiving so much support from other people.
When a 4th grade boy arrived at school wearing a pink shirt with the words “Cool Boys Wear Pink” written on it, the other kids made fun of him. The little boy didn’t imagine that his classmates wouldn’t like his style.
Shortly after entering 4th grade, William Girk told his mother he didn’t want to go to school. The concerned mother said her son had always loved going to school. She called back.
“The Friday before, it was quite strange to me that he was sitting in his room and crying. »
Mom had no idea that William was getting in trouble at school because of his classmates. She was unhappy as soon as she realized what had happened to her son at school.
William was bullied by fourth graders for wearing pink. The little boy remembers what happened.
“They started asking, ‘Why are you wearing pink?’ “And I said, ‘Because I like pink.’
William’s response didn’t satisfy his classmates, so they called him “chicken.” They teased him so much for wearing a pink shirt that the boy quickly made the decision to stop going to school.
But one of the teachers, Dan Winter, noticed how the other boys teased William. The little boy did not imagine that his teacher would defend him.
After that day, Winter started wearing pink clothes to school to support William. Her small act gave William confidence and stopped his classmates from insulting him.
William agreed that the teacher’s generous act “relaxed him.” He stopped worrying after receiving so much support from other people.
