I have seen this meme circulating often at the beginning of school. It is very important to share. This meme doesn’t just apply to students, but also adults.

Teenagers.... Adults....

You know that boy who sits alone on the bus?

• Go sit with him.

You know that girl who always eats alone at the lunch table?

• Go eat with her.

You know that one student who always sits at the back of the class and doesn’t talk to anyone?

• Go talk to them.

You have no idea the impact your one kind gesture could have.

Adults, please model what you are asking of our children.
