Two 12th grade boys taking action and creation such a moment for helping a 9th grader who they don't know because he got picked on for wearing a pink shirt to school. I, just as everyone else, saw this event as "mind-blasting." There are many words to describe the behavior of these two students; I would say that gallant would be one. This word means to be brave, noble-minded and courageous in some ways.
Travis and David showed lots of empathy for the ninth grade student and it easily shows because they felt what this student was going through, with confidence; they each thought enough was enough. They showed responsibility when they took this situation as their duty to help the boy. Not only did they display respect and empathy as individuals but displayed effort as a team with the entire school by getting all (or most) to participate in this occasion. They, whether or not the boy was homosexual, treated him with significance and did an immense favour in his name.
Sexual orientation is being concentrated on as one of the areas of equity. The bullies thought just because he was wearing pink, he was queer or a fag or ‘not masculine’. What is pink? Pink is just a colour, it does not identify if you’re a girl neither does it does it show which gender you prefer. The only thing it may fathom would be your choice of colour. You like it? Then wear it. You don’t like it? Then don’t wear it. It’s really that simple.
By doing this “Sea of Pink” event, not only did these two students make this ninth grade newcomer glad, but taught a lesson to the dim-witted, disrespectful bullies, and to everyone informed about this heroic undertaking.
