David Shepherd and Travis Price did something that no one might have thought of help the student who was bullied. They showed the bullies that doing something out of the ordinary is not something to make fun of. They were right in what they did for a few reasons.

They raised the bullied student's morale by supporting him. The student was probably not feeling his best at that time and what David and Travis did completely overwhelmed him. To see other students supporting him and showing him that there was nothing wrong in wearing pink helped him to come out of his misery and renewed his self-esteem.

David and Travis's actions should have stopped bullying of that kind in their school. The bullies would have been outnumbered and shocked at the amount of support that the grade 9 student received. It showed the bullies what unity does and why being different is not wrong. The bullies and any other people who bully would not want another situation like this, so the amount of bullying incidents would reduce.

They showed respect for the bullied student's feelings. They appreciated the fact that someone would do something different and not see anything wrong with it. They also helped the bullied student see that there isn't anything wrong in being or doing something different. This helped relieve the grade 9 student and he won't feel alone or secluded anymore.
