When David Shepherd and Travis Price saw a grade nine boy being bullied because he just happened to be wearing pink, they bought 50 pink shirts and told everyone to wear pink the next day. I agree with what David and Travis did, and I think it showed a lot of people that standing up for what you believe in can have significant effects. They showed that it doesn't matter what color shirt you wear, everyone can choose their own style of clothing. Also, just because a boy wears pink, it does not mean he is gay. If you have a strong negative opinion about something you should act against it, and not care what others might think.
David and Travis were right in what they did because they stood up for something they strongly believed in, and by doing that, helped a younger student feel better. They showed everyone that it does not matter what type, or color of clothes people wear because it is not who they are. Clothes do not represent a person's personality, and i think it is stupid to assume they do.
David Shepherd and Travis Price showed almost all of the character traits when they decided to help the grade nine boy. They showed responsibility, empathy, kindness & caring, teamwork, and co-operation. By helping the boy, they proved that with teamwork and co-operation anything is possible. David and Travis showed amazing leadership and sent the message that everyone, girls AND boys, are free to wear whatever color of clothes they want, even pink.
Excellent work Irina :)
