Poll of the Day > Teens Give their OWN Clothes to Bullied Kid Wearing the SAME CLOTHES EVERYDAY!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

2 kind students brought bags of their OWN clothes to give to a freshman student who was BULLIED for wearing the SAME CLOTHES EVERYDAY to school!!

Michael Todd had just started Martin Luther King College Prep in Memphis when classmates started teasing him over his repeated outfits

They said he wore the same outfit everyday with the freshman explaining his family was poor and didn't have many clothes at home because he was "growing too fast" for his mom to buy new ones

2 kids who were members of the football team however decided to give him several bags of their OWN clothes with a student filming the exchange

Kristopher Graham and Antwain Garrett banded together of their clothes, including a NEW pair of shoes to give to Michael

Kristopher said he had been AMONG the bullies before realizing the errors ofhis ways and said "When i saw people laugh and bully him,i felt like i needed to do something. I got some brand new shoes i can give him and a few items"

Him and his friend brought a bag full of clothes and items to give it to him at the school hallway

He said "He wasn't smiling or anything, and i was like, i think this is going ot make you smile, we're in the same third period, and i apologize for laughing at you and i want to give you something ot make it up"

Twann Lovee posted it on his social media who said "We did it out of Love, NOT forClout"

In the video one of the boys can be heard saying "i bought you some shorts to which Michael says "oh wow, oh my god"

Michael said it was the "best day of my entire life. you guys are the best guys of my entire life"

After news got around, the community gave donations of their own to Michael and offered to buy him clothes.

Frayser Community Schools spokeswoman, Erica Williams said the boys were overwhelmed by te support and across the country as some students are in need and not unique within their school because they serve a demographic where household income is well BELOW the state and national average

Have you ever been in a point in your life where you had to wear the SAME CLOTHES EVERYDAY??

Michael, Kristopher and Antwain -

"had to"... hmm.. I have on occasion (e.g. slept over with someone, didn't have new clothes to change into), but I don't think it was in the spirit of this thread.

Frankly I'd rather see stuff like this than what typically makes the rounds.

Also, that's a sick backpack.
