The first few weeks of high school have been a nightmare for Michael Todd, a freshman in Memphis, Tennessee.

Michael is a growing teenager and his mom can't afford to supply him with new clothes, so he has been wearing the same outfit to school each day.

Kids can be so cruel, as Michael has found out, and he has been constantly bullied about his clothes. That's where classmates Kristopher Graham and Antwan Garrett stepped in.

Kristopher & Antwan pooled their resources and surprised Michael with boxes of brand new clothes and shoes. Michael called the surprise "the best day of my entire life," and the story made local news:

Thank goodness for people like Kristopher and Antwan! I wish that bullying was non-existent, but as long as it is, I'm thankful that there are students like these two generous young men, standing up for victims and creating a culture of kindness in their school!
