- A Texas couple received an unexpected visit from a young boy who is looking for friends. Shayden Walker explains that his previous friends were bullies. Although the homeowner, Brennan Ray, was not home, he and the boy continued the conversation over his home camera. Ray and his wife were so touched by Walker's story they posted the interaction online, which quickly received millions of views. They also made it their mission to help Walker. Inside Edition's Les Trent has more.
Let's face it
This kid has more balls than any of us for asking for friends
he does none of us would admit when we feel that way
He sure does. What a brave guy.
Wth do u mean who tf asked for friends that’s not balls he’s mental destroyed cause he got bullied
@@TheTruth75175 he asked the parent if they had a kid so they could be friends, nothing wrong with that. When I moved to Berlin I used tinder to find friends bc I was too much busy with my work and making music. I also connected via insta with other musicians or people, which in the end is the same as asking for friends. He's just a small kid so there is no reason to say that.
Sure he does he’s a legend
This dude's gonna have a ton of friends when he gets older. To be confident enough to walk up to a stranger's house and ask if he can vibe with them or anyone they know at that age is wild. What an absolute legend.
What do you think the other kids at school will do when they see this video? "Yo thats the guy who loves two year olds haha". Hes gonna have the worst highschool experience in 1-2 years
That’s a great way to get a good job too!
Don't judge a kid you fuul
Same.. I did that on purpose on my strangers neighbors around my town and it came friendly and connective to me as well.
He looks and acts like kids on the spectrum
He deserves a TON of friends
He deserves all the friends and puppies in the world 😭
And those bullies deserve NONE.
Amennnnn
This kid has more confidence than 95% of adults.
He'll grow to be a successful happy nice man, father, and neighbor.
If he had any confidence he would talk to real people, not some boomer behind a door,
You can tell by his whole demeanor and tone he has no confidence at all
99%*
The description says he was not actually home and was talking remotely to the kid through the security system. Not sure why all the hostility?
More than me 👋
This child has got a bigger heart than most adults
most children do
That's weird tbh, I as an 18 yr old said that I love 2 yr old girls, let's just say that I didn't receive a wholesome response
❤❤❤❤

@@mattchan6570 💀
He loves 2 years-old, cause they haven't been subjected to the world.
He's also not picky, but yeah
Bro the difference between a 12 year old saying that about 2 year olds, and the binary being a decade older each lmao it's crazy 😭
This is how i met my best friend actually. 1988 so no ring camera lol but he went door to door looking for kids. I wasn’t home but my Mom told me he came by and where he lived. We’re still best friends to this day. The kid in this video deserves the kind of lasting friendship I experienced. Great kid and he’s doing it right.
That’s the most adorable thing I’ve ever heard
@@keletube951 true story lol we remind each other of how we met often too. Even his kids and in-laws know the story now 😂 as soon as I saw this kid in the video I was immediately impressed and reminded of my lasting friendship. He’s awesome, I would definitely be this kids friend.
😮❤😊
OMG
good times
The fact that he had the courage to open up about his problems at his age - and to a stranger no less, this kid has a rock solid character.
For real. Sad he didn’t have a trusted adult in his family to talk to
It's proven that we're more likely to open up to strangers
@@to.lame.to.function5242that’s adults for you
💯
Especially since the homeowner wouldnt even come to the door. Real brave to talk to a scared kid through Ring.
This kid is going places. He's not afraid to speak his truth. We need more wholesome stories like this to go viral.
"His" truth?
Yea I agree
@@user-zr6pl6nb6zleftist speech, there’s only THE truth.
@@brucebanner645rightest speech too. Everyone claims THE TRUTH
@@brucebanner645 And yet you guys can never find it. Always living in a different reality 😂😂
"I need some friends, really badly."
That made me cry
Me too, I'm actually crying right now
I’m joining in on this bc it resonates so much bc I was in his position once
Yep your neighbor shares you online, so you can now get bullied online. It never rains……
@@nuancesoffatedude anyone bullying this kid online for this needs to be doxxed so they can make some new friends.
It doesn’t work that way. Sorry.
Jesus. I'm a 45 year old man and I'm crying now.
Makes me sad thinking about other kids who don't have this little gentleman's courage.
Glad you mentioned JESUS ❤ AMEN
I am crying too ❤❤❤
@@MutantAvenger12 I say Jesus all the time, its a splendid option when expressing something powerful.
And the video made me cry.

@@-Rambi- an atheist using JESUS name lol confusing world we live in 🤣
I’m 19 and don’t have no friends, I wish I had his confidence to talk and open about his problems, respect. 💯💯
19 Is a very hard Age ti deal with, you're Just few steps from being an adult, and trust me, when you'll grow up you will find what you're looking for. Good luck young man
Some neighbours just don’t care. So you’re going to become overfamiliar and have them file a complaint against you? I don’t think so.
Sorry but how do you have no friends at 19? You should have had a lot of friends throughout your school years not judging just find it a little odd
@@kane_howe138 Because you could be giving unwanted advances.
I'll be your friend if you need someone to talk to :), I could maybe send you my discord on one of your videos?
No kid should have to bullied! hope he’s ok now

That's a stretch. Bullying builds character 😂
@@hopesloveall fun till you see what he is posting on tiktok
The fact that he goes out looking for friends even after he's being bullied goes on to show his heart. I wish I could be friends with him.
And he has no fear to keep going.
Same I would too he seems really nice
Me too. This kid really touched my heart ❤️ such an angelic soul
Me too
there's a human who still hasn't lost faith. beautiful person, all the best to this kid. sincerely
Damn, that hit really deep. When he reiterated 'really bad' in reference to his need for friends, you can feel his desperation.
So happy that this had a great outcome.
Thank you young Texas couple.
Turns out he knocked at the right door.
Yes, thankful he was at the right place at the right time. ❤
💯 i was so happy he chose that door, that couple, that family. if he didn’t, i don’t think we’d be talking about him today. he would’ve withdrawn.
He reminds me of my son, whom is also a victim of bullying. Things brngs so much hope to the world.
You saying that this brings so much hope to the world instead of this brings so much sadness is everything. Even adults need more friends and acceptance.
I’m sorry to hear that if you guys were in Henderson Nevada I would help
I hope your son overcame his problems. Bullying can be a destructive force to face.
It’s painful to see how he’s asking for help. How brave of him. I hope he makes tons of good friends
❤❤
💯
Very brave of him
❤
Almost, but not quite eh
When a young kid has the guts to do THIS….you know he’s being bullied bad🥹

@@windshearahead7012His account should be deactivated because of his horrible comments regarding this child who obviously need some positive encouragement in his life from the people around him.

The kid is a true inspiration
This breaks my heart. Kids can be so mean, and they dont realize that getting bullied for some kids can really mess up their lives.
A kid with the guts to go to a strangers house and be honest about looking for new friends really deserves them!
Gentle souls like that boy, needs to be protected at all cost.
Oh God bless him ,, he is such a sweet well spoken child , you got to stand up to those bullies , most of the time they just back down , I had to deal with a few back in my youth , and God bless the family that befriended this young boy
He is adorable!
Yeah, that’s terrible parenting at it’s best. Never have your kid go to a strangers house and start ringing doorbells. Might be the last one he ever rings. The amount of stupidity on this thread and seeing people blinded by this morons mistake is baffling.
@@Strome88 Too bad the world has a mind to destroy youth like him instead of supporting him.
Not in this moment. But in most, they do. As he's stated, having bullies that used to be friends.
He didn’t even mind having the 2 year old as a friend. This child is such a golden soul, and I hope he gained plenty of trustworthy friends.
You can be friends with anyone regardless of age.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fjheck no

@collins170 I think he was just making convo. Don’t make it more than what it is, he’s just a kid.
Brave kid asking for friends and lucky to have met kind, loving family
when i was in his age, i would have wanted to be his friend. he seems like a kid that is a real friend even in bad times.
As someone who was bullied and alone growing up, this hit home. I wish I had half the guts this kid had.
My 15 year old doesn't have any friends. He such a good kid. Got bullied at school. It's just a different world nowadays.
@@shebella4561sometimes is hard. Now a days can't find the right friends for your kids.🙏🙏
I tell him all the time he has to find kids that have the same interest. Hopefully junior year will be better!
Heyy me too!
Love the shirt, this kid knows what’s up.
Teach your kids to not bully, and stand up for those being bullied.
An excellent message and important 😸👍
Amen
I'm 60 years old and I still think back to when I was about 7 or 8. There was this young Native American girl who had a cleft pallet. Kids were tormenting her and I will never forget the look on her face! I was to scared to say anything or get beat up myself. Wish I had it to do over again! 😞
The parents can only do so much. Most of the bully type kids in my school growing up had very good parents. They know what they’re doing is wrong.. so what can a parent do? I suspect a lot of those parents had no idea their kids were bullies. The ball is in the kids’ court. It’s up to the bullies, the bullied, and the people seeing it happen to manage it. After all it has existed as long as people have, and will until we don’t.
I agree with the first part but not the second. I don’t want my kids getting into problems that simply aren’t there’s
Such a sweet boy. I was bullied as a kid too, and there is nothing more painful and isolating for a child. I'm so glad he was brave enough to go looking for friends. 💜
I really like this, it reminds me of when I was a kid. I had a couple that kind of "took me in" like they did for this boy. Almost 30 years later I still see them and talk to them.
We need communities again.
This kid has bigger guts than I could ever hope to have. A kid this young seeking out what he wants most? I have nothing but respect for.
Update: don't read the replies to this post.
As long as its not a ploy sending him to the door.....
Man I'd hate to see what you do for a living.
❤
@@ghjake and what do you do for one?
If an adult said they love 2 year olds, the reactions would be different.
This kid has more common sense, courage and KNOWLEDGE of his own emotions than 90% of adults in this country. He knew when he just need someone. Anyone. Kudos to the young parents-turned-friends.
I'd like to think he has common sense. But I'm worried that he could have come across the house of a predator.
Everyone needs to have a friend. It’s a must.
@@frauleinmona don't, just don't
@@fluffy6818 Don’t worry?
@@thatsright1648 Very true.☺
This boy is a beautiful special soul. He had opened hearts and minds❤
This dude just walks up to a home and tells his story without crying or whining and with complete and utter confidence. What a unit!
crying or whining wouldnt of made much diffrence if anything id want to help him mroe if he was crying and whining ?
EXACTLY. HE'S STILL A BABY A CHILD OF GOD.😊
Most likely means the entire situation was rehearsed. If the kid was actually lonely, he would have hesitated more and wouldn't have communicated his situation accurately.
@@Quantumwolf45not everyone is the same person. You can be lonely & confident or fake it.

@@FiveDORRADaddy didn’t love you did he?! Come here buddy, it’s not your fault. 🫂
@@JT_Huie💀
He's my neighbor's grandson, and he is such an angel. ❤
If the kid doesn't learn to protect himself, he's gonna be a lonely victim his entire life. Women don't want a man who needs or is accustomed to protection. They want a man who can protect them and their kids. Some day he's gonna be a father and he's gonna need to pass on to his son how to stand up for himself. It's not society's job to protect little boys, it's society's job to teach them how to protect themselves. And it's little boys job to grow-up and protect society. This safety-ism has to stop.
This kid is probably the best friend anyone could have. Bless him
This kid has balls! Not only was he able to identify and dismiss toxic people in his life, but he got right back out there and went searching for connections.
You couldn't have said it better!!
Well put OP.
You know what hit me so hard about this? He is not asking for money, food, or clothes. He is not trying to scam or sell anything. He is begging for something we all get for free and take for granted. Companionship, camaraderie, friendship. This video should be used as a tool for understanding how important kindness is.
Beautifuly said.
@@barbarawitt2077...not all of get friends and friendship... Started crying...cuz I know exactly how this boy feels...
Not all of us. Only ungrateful selfish pricks would take their true friends for granted. Not me.
Free wtf?
Yet then there was the gofundme part at the end. Probably his mom's idea but makes your statement not quite accurate.
There’s such an incredible amount of people out there who justify bullying and thinks it’s okay 🙁 it’s never okay
This is the kind of kid everyone needs as a friend. This kid is best friend material.
Absolutely mate 😊👍🏽

@@cwstewartjr1973 I don't think you understand; he was desperate not to be lonely.

20 years ago I lived in an apartment complex. I was a father figure to a few kids and still keeping up with them as they started their own families. Something everybody should do.
What a great little boy. I’d be your friend anytime brother. Sorry about the bullying.
Good on that young man for identifying his needs and then trying his best to fulfill them, he is obviously the result of good parenting. Brave , confident, respectful, and friendly, what a great neighbor!
“I need some friends”
That hit hard. That’s how I was as a kid. All I ever wanted was just one friend.
I’m happy he’s doing much better in the friends department 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Me too, God bless him 😢
Same man, I thought I had some, but looking back my "friends" just had me around to pick on me a lot
♥️God is always with you and there is no friend greater than the lowly Jesus and ah well you got the rest of us🙋♀️Hey my innanet Friends 👋🤗😂💕💕💕💕
Me too.
Same ❤
This just breaks my heart. No kid deserves to be bullied especially by friends.
That's why sometimes Lone Wolf status is the only way to go.
Yeah if he's being bullied those kids were far from being his friends
Let's be honest, they was never his friends. They only had him around to tease him. 😡😤😒 I was like that too.
I heard some people commented on some videos, sometimes bullying can be use for teaching
They were never friends at the first place! They were bullies in disguise.
I used to do this as a child. Was diagnosed as AUDHD at 38 years old. I've always been ballsy like this but it still doesn't stop the non stop rejection. People say to be more honest, to ask for help, show your vulnerability. It just simply doesn't work for some of us.
Same I'm also AuDHD
I was bullied when from elementary to highschool
I have no Friends at elementary and high school and I start having friends in senior high school at grade 12.
I was bullied that I lose my mind to talk to people
I was bullied and never had any friends ever in my entire life. It doesn’t matter honestly. Just love yourself and everything is going to be fine.
Gosh, I feel so bad for him. Hope he has some long-lasting, prosperous friendships.
The guts it takes to ring a stranger’s doorbell & say I need a friend. This kid is fearless & should go far in life.
He's a warrior in the eyes of adults... unfortunately that makes him a target in the eyes of his peers
I love that he had the courage and strength to ask for help rather than turn inward to depression, sadness, anger and resentment. He knows that he’s a kid and kids need friends. Friendship is indeed essential to the soul. I hope he finds his real tribe! ❤
ikr so many people end up taking their pain out on others but he did something so many people wouldn’t have
Even an adult like me sometimes can’t handle like the kid’s action when depression kicks.
I learned something meaningful today.
Some children aren’t good
Obesity is no joke
You’re not funny
This kid needs a medal for his bravery and the guy that helped has just joined the most elite club in the world, HUMANITY well done sir i applaud you.
“Men live lives of silent desperation” This kid needed something and spoke out. Proud of him
Me, too!!! He’s awesome 😊😊
Thoreau it all, that kid shined with his great mindset
his innocence is delightful and loving........i love him and he is a really cool kid...........
And now they got money that was given to him going to Ukraine of all places.… The place that was voted most corrupt until liberal American politicians (crooked politicians) decided to steal land from Russia and now they’re the moral superior country that needs everything
Nice Thoreau quote.
Full credit to this couple for showing such kindness to a bullied boy , bullying has a devastating effect on the victim , I hope he finds real friends
Why would they post this though? They seem self serving
Either way, if this didn’t go viral and didn’t make any new friends this’ll really affect his mental health growing up
He will
He’s a stellar young man ❤
seemed like at first the homeowner was getting creepy vibes about him wanting to be friends or just play around with his 2 year old at first even tho hes explaining hes being bullied and just wants anyone to play and be nice to him, very sad
@@ZeeZee9 because some people might see this and learn to be better people and teach others aswell. It depends on how you see it.
That kid has a ton of heart! Good on all these people, literally restoring faith in humanity when it's super scarce these days.
His personality is seriously heartwarming. An uncut diamond ❤
1. The ability to throw bullies out of his life, who were previously "friends".
2. The courage to go out and make new friends. Not disheartened by what he just experienced.
3. Direct and straight up to the point. No masking, no dodging. Confident.
4. Showing appreciation. The way he said "you have a good day" shows depth and substance.
5. The thoughtfulness i.e donating proceeds.
This young lad is definitely well thought, mannered and brilliantly nurtured and is the type of person this world needs more.
God bless you, Shayden Walker!

Maybe the mother should make some proper meals instead of easy carbs and sugars. Bad parents turn their kids into bully victims. Shameful and disgusting.

The man who talked
to the boy on the ring camera is an angel, and they will be lifelong friends. I know it. And the smile at the end says it all.
balls of steel to ask for help like that, and a heart of gold to donate some of the money raised for him. 11 is a tough age but i bet he would have found some friends eventually cause he's clearly a good kid. glad to hear it was a happy ending.
This kid is one tough cookie to put himself out there, good for him. His parents have to be proud!
Idk, If I were his parents I'd be pretty worried, I mean having a 10 year old who just goes knocking randomly on strangers houses asking if you can hang out and be their friend. Who's to say he didn't knock on the wrong house and would spend the rest of the day crying having repeated sex with a paedo with low standards until he is killed. It's not like his parents would even know where he even is, since he didn't tell anyone he'd be there, the kid would literally just disappear.
@@ripeager9338 true, I know kids still roam the neighborhood in my area, they just don't go as far as I remember growing up. It's not uncommon for kids a block or 2 away from my house to come knocking on my door asking if my son or daughter wants to play. I don't let my kids roam like that unsupervised, but my neighborhood is relatively safe for this day and age.
Or dumb for letting the boy walk around aimlessly knocking on random people doors
Oh man, I’m literally crying, this kid is a legend.
Me too 🙏🏾

Omg same.
Am sitting here saying "lot of rubbish" but there is tears in my eyes.

I am sorry! I was in the same predicament as well! God Bless you!
The fact that this kid had the emotional maturity to ask exactly for what he needed right at the moment he needed it is impressive. This young man is going places in life.
He also has excellent taste in movies.
you're looking too deep into it, but that's white culture for you. "they were just playing around," "they were just having fun," "it was just an initiation, etc."
Absolutely!! I would vote on this kid today.
It is true that loneliness is a really bad thing. In the past, it was the biggest punishment
A lot of people see that as weird but he is wanting friends and he went out in search of friends and that is very very brave! When I was a kid, I would just keep it to myself that I felt some with no friends or I would complain about it and not do anything to change it
dude, this warms my heart. not only his bravery, but the compassion and love of these people, that's what community is about. Everyone deserves kind genuine friends
keep being you kid, don't be friends with people who treat you bad. surround yourself with people who boost you up, you'll do great kid.
He's going places. Instead of crying in a corner, instead of fighting and being a bully back, he looks for an actual, constructive solution. He TALKS to his neighbor. He tries to CONNECT. This is inspiring to me and I'm a grown up. I imagine some credit has to go to mom (and dad) too. Well done.
Kids a heart of gold
The saddest part of this video is when he starts saying he loves little kids because he’s literally hanging on by a thread and he’s throwing out a last second plea… he’s basically saying “please let me hang out, I have no one. I’ll even play with you and your little kid.” He just doesn’t want to be alone. That was heartbreaking.
thats so sad
your words just made me cry harder than the video.
he is but he also seems like hes just got a big heart an is kind, and some kids his age do very well with the little ones, hell i used to babysit when i was his age, i was always a responsible person, i was really good with little kids and babies, they responded well to me i was attentive, gentle, interactive, and patient. of course i played baseball , Nintendo, rode my bike, etc. but i had a soft heart for animals and babies. and it was also cool to make a few bucks, cant beat that as a 10 and 11 year old :-)

@@TheWhyme01especially the major cities , but especially Atlanta , chicago and New York
You're right
This kid is just amazing. I would give him a huge hug if he was my neighbor.
What an articulate, humble and smart kid. The only thing i could tell him is things wont be always like this. I was hardly bullied in high school and felt desperately lonely for a long period of time. Then, at university i became the most popular person of my program.
He did the right thing by asking for help
I told my children this:
1. If they ever bully anyone, there will be serious consequences for them.
2. If they ever get bullied, they should defend themselves and I will also stand with them.
3. If they see someone get bullied, they should stand up with them.
This starts and ends with parents.
If fathers start being real men and teach real values instead of entitled homeowner's association pussies, there will be no more bullying.
that's kind

@@Lightbodied same i was bullied too the result become trust issues and self sabotage.
The same as you. I struggled making friends
Wish i had a friend like that in school. Such a great kid.
At 31 I definitely feel lonely with no close friends. This boy is much braver than I could ever be. This boy has a bright future ahead of him
I only have one close friend. What about co-workers?
Same
So true! :)
I definitely keep a very small circle of friends been hurt too many times.
GOD leads him to the right house and right family. I'm happy for you young man...GODBless you🙏😍🙏
As a 60 year old man who raised a couple of kids, this broke my heart.
i’m only 15 going into my second year of high school and this broke my heart. i’ve always stood up to bullies for other people because that’s how i was raised by my mom. even though i’m these people’s friends now it still hurts me to know that someone can be so cruel to other people. as a “popular” kid at my school, some people will ask me why i’m friends with the “weird kids”… i always say there’s a lot more to them than they think because there really is. i’ve made friends with the kids that people will call ‘weird choir kids’, ‘unpopular goth kids’, and the mentally delayed kids. they’re amazing people and i’m glad to call them my friends.
@@zoequintanilla3866it sounds like your mom raised an incredible child. If only more people could have kindness in their hearts like you do. 👍
Amen brother! Reminds me of when I was six in 1966 and we moved into a new town. Before the car got unloaded I walked half way down the block and made friends with another boy on a tricycle. He took me in the back yard to meet his entire family.... finally my Mom came looking for me and I was surround by lots of new friends....lol.
@@zoequintanilla3866 God bless you son!
Me too I d be his friend 😊
This is beautiful. What a wonderful way to combat bullying
This is what news should be about. People helping others is needed so badly.
"I need friends really bad." Quite possibly one of the most human things I've heard in a long time.
He’s such an articulate and self aware kid. Based on his personality you can tell he’s going to be an amazing guy with a really big heart when he grows up.
articulate..
Based on his personality he's autistic... We're flock animals and he's just out for self perseverance... The reason he is so bold is the same reason as to why he's getting bullied. He has 0 understanding of social cues... With the right support he might end up like you say but apathy is a very strong trait amongst people with autism..
He’s so genuine ❤
Brave young man to go to a neighbour... glad he's got some friends now, good lad...
He is a great & beautiful young Boy. With a heart of pure joy. God bless him. ❤️
This kid's actions not only show a level of intelligence and understanding that most of us lack, they also demonstrate his boldness and a strong heart. He reached out to strangers when his own friend's turned on him. Mom is doing an awsome job raising that boy.👍
Most of us lack??? Speak for yourself.😂
@SusieQ-uj3ou wow so much hate and anger, go fix yourself
@SusieQ-uj3ou I am sorry that you have so much hate in your tiny heart, but you need to work on yourself before degrading or belittling anyone else.
You don't know his story. There is more than laziness that causes overweight issues. Health issues and some meds can cause this. Grow up. You're the actual 2 year old child I see here.
@SusieQ-uj3ou Probably going to be his uncle/big brother figure forever.
@DonnellOkaforthat is why he doesn t make friend s like coment like y disd
Great job
“I need some friends. Really bad” 😭😭😭 I pray that this young man grows up to continue to find the best friends ever. He has a heart of gold. Blessings to Shayden ❤
Amen
Fr amen❤

WHAT A GREAT LITTLE KID, WITH SUCH A SOLID CHARACTER. It might be hard for him to believe now, but that kind of a personality takes you places when you're an adult. He'll have TOO MANY friends.
God i want to hug and kiss this adorable boy. He deserves so much love!
The guts it takes to be this honest and vulnerable is something most adults couldn't even achieve... He'll be fine.
Childhood passes in the blink of an eye. Head up young man. You've got friends all over the world now.
Words of wisdom my man.
Well put. I completely agree.
The USA is sick.
As a 45 year old woman who was bullied her whole time in school and now my son is also being bullied I feel for this little boy !
When my now ex walked out, my son took it hard and lost his confidence... his friends turned their backs on him. I wish I could have been more effective but I found even the moms to be very clique'ish and I didn't quite have enough of my own confidence ask for their understanding or help. My son's grown now and working but still no real friends to speak of. I hope you can find ways for your son to thrive. Speak to his teacher, ask for ideas, get him involved in a club at or away from school in whatever his interest is. Don't regret, like I have.. 🩷
I was thankful to be bullied when I was younger it made me tough and resilient for this day and age.
Whatever don't break you will make you stronger.
It sucked for all those years now I can see the positive andy my deepest sympathies that you and your son had to go through it but I guarantee you you'll be better people in the long run love from Canada stay strong hang in there don't ever give up hope there's a brighter day around sometime❤💪🙏💯🌎☮️
@@sparra3819don't have regrets in life I call those moments a life lesson 😂 stop trying to please everyone else and just please yourself please love from Canada ♥️💪🙏 once you stop caring about what people think about you you'll have all the confidence in the world and gain more by each minute you get stronger.
Sorry your son doesn't have friends that is like me but I choose to have no friends then be in jail.
I always hope one day to find good real friends not ones that will bully me or get me in trouble hope keeps you healthy mind body soul and Spirit🎉🎉🎉
Get your son into boxing and nobody will mess with him. My two boys and 1 girl all did boxing and it's the best thing I ever did.
I’m so sorry to hear about your son. Honestly, as bad as it sounds, you should send him to boxing/MMA classes cause then they’ll leave him alone.
