Michael Todd wore the same clothes every day for the first three weeks of school.When the other kids began to notice that he was wearing the same black pants and blue and gray long-sleeve shirt day after day,Todd,a fresh man at Jr.College Preparatory High School in Memphis,became the target(對象)of taunts and laughter.But there was little Todd could do.His mother was simply not able to buy him new clothes.
Two of the kids were Antwan Garrett and Kristopher Graham,a pair of freshman football players.But over time,they realized that their hurtful words felt like bullying(霸凌)and Todd seemed to slowly fall apart.Something finally became clear.
"I felt like I needed to do something",Graham told CBS News.So he and Garrett made a plan.They went home and hunted through their own rooms.The next day at school,they met Todd at their third-period class and asked him to come into the hall.Todd was surely afraid about being called out by the larger boys.
"He wasn't smiling or anything,and I was like, 'I think this is going to make you smile,' Graham says, "I told him, 'We're in the same third period,and I am sorry for laughing at you and I want to give something to you to make it up." He then handed Todd a large heavy bag.Inside were clean shirts and shorts,plus a brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers.
Todd was blown away. "I was very happy," he told WATN-TV, "Shocked,completely." And Todd got much more than a new wardrobe(衣櫥).He no longer sits alone at lunch.Now,he eats with his new friends,Garrett and Graham.
"I've been bullied my whole life," Todd told CBS News.Thinking of the day Garrett and Graham called him into the hall,he added, "The best day of my whole life,basically."
