“The other day I was exploring a new part of town and I was trying to walk down a narrow footpath just as the kids were coming out of the local school – I moved over and waited to let them all by as there wasn’t much room – there must’ve been a trail of about 30 kids, and to my surprise almost all of them looked at me and said thank you.
I wasn’t expecting to even be acknowledged by a group of teenagers, let alone for them to express their thanks towards what was a simple gesture, but it actually made my day.”
We share stories of kindness by teenagers regularly to help challenge the popular view of them – big thank you to Becky of The Mindful Gingernut for sending this in so we could add it to our growing collection of teenager stories!
See even more kindness that’s happening every day:
