@David-Dezeree Towne Laughing at "weird" people is not bullying unless you are hurting them and making them feel bad. You can be entertained by the "weird" kids and still treat them with respect.
@Prophet Citrus Exactly. Banter and light hearted teasing is not bullying, and this definitely doesn't look like bullying. They are giving him high fives and buying him shoe like how tf is that bullying?
@xzeuii You got bullied for running to class? I don't understand. Why did you have to run to class and why is running to class a cause for bullying? America really confuses me.
These kids are different man. They were born with the empathy that was ripped away from their parents. The world might actually survive because of them
I’ll never forget the day my freshman year when everyone made a circle around one of the special needs kids, he was doing a dance battle with another student and everyone was genuinely cheering him on, though im sure some were laughing at him. Mostly everyone was really happy for him :) he looked really happy most important of all
When your strong, you have the ability to lift people up, not put them down! This brought tears to my eyes as I have a child with autism, and it pains me to know his social fears dealing with school and life in general.
Honestly my current highschool is such a single minded hive 😭. Can't even make proper friends because everyone is the same thinking they're hot shot and real gangsters. Livin in a rural 3rd world is crazy because once you made an enemy it's war. I miss my old highschool where even tho I didn't have any friends I didn't have to worry about being robbed or bullied.
This is super embarrassing yet wholesome at the same time.. when I was in elementary school I had one of those roller backpacks. I would ride that thing into battle (class) every day, and all of the high schoolers would line up outside of the buses like this to cheer me on. Through everything I went through in school, that definitely made a huge impact 🙏
bro lowkey think if they wasn’t bullying they wouldn’t even care if he was running I think it started off as bullying but since he got popular on TikTok in stuff they want the pictures in stuff in now they give them shoes
11 years ago in Junior High School I started running after sports class back from the basketball courts to the classroom, there were lots of sections with concrete stairs and I loved to jump them down while running, it was... liberating. My classmates started doing the same and suddenly I've created a trend, even students from other classes saw what we were doing and began repeating that after their sports classes. Fun times.
Wow. Imagine the encouraging feeling he gets every time he gets to learn. This boy will be a great man with the help of his cheerful peers. Hes gonna have that fire going for a while. Now thas dope 💯
I’ve been a teacher for 4 years and most students are like this, very loving and supporting. Don’t cry because you were bullied in school during a completely different generation because kids these days are no where near as cruel as you wish they were or the way the media portrays it! One bad example doesn’t equal an entire group of people
and some of us would go set up a stationary camera point, grab a stop watch, record it, and send snippets of what he did each run that improved his times and what moves to avoid. Give that kid a little taste of the drug that is racing.
In my class our friend always chugged his water and me and other ppl suddenly cheered him on. I love how we all collectively decided that everytime we see him get his bottle out in a lesson we all chant "chug chug chug" and clap at then end. Some ppl time him on their watches and see how fast he's done it.
@Mike Oxmal so actually as a kid who goes to this highschool, no one bought him shoes. there was no money raised idk where dylan got that information from. rather nike saw the videos and reached out, and donated new running shoes and clothes.
@Gunnard Black I live in cali and where I live it hardly rains or snows so all the schools here are department blocks (science, english etc) that they plop down randomly across the campus. I’m guessing where they live the weather is similar to mine so there really isn’t a reason to roof the entire school. Just saw someone else respond before me and if it makes you feel any better whenever I go to a northern state the schools look strange and I have to remember that it actually snows and rains in other states and not just in the mountains.
May you all are the problem, as a gen z when I was in highschool everyone was nice. I use the term nice loosely as there are different levels of nice in highschool you have genuinely nice, you have kinda nice, you have sorta nice and so on. Then you’d have pessimistic people like you lot who perceived everyone as rude, mean, and so on just because you haven’t interacted with them on a personal level
Its always nice to see students supporting one another Also props to John for basically uniting the school and creating such a friendly environment for everyone
@CJ HUMALA did you skip over the part where they raised money to get him running shoes -_-. If someone's bullying you, they would do toxic shit, two examples being name-calling or spreading rumors.
I slightly disagree. John did not united the school on his own. He started running, and someone reacted to it. At some point one person decided to cheer him, they could have went for the jerk move and mock him, but they chose to cheer, then, humans love to mimic, it's basically how we learn and grow up from being babies. So one person decided which way the balance should go, and they made it go the good way, Let's just assert this.
@colorado livin So you're saying bullying a poor kid for running is necessary? You're calling kids soft for not bullying people, you do realize bullying can end in suicide right?
As the parent of a child with special needs this makes my heart happy. These are amazing, respectful, understanding kids that are going to be amazing adults.
My brother is like John, after high school with everyone paying attention like this and showing love, afterwards they have nobody. Everyone starts their lives and people like John here are left to normalcy in whatever life they can conjure. You know what happened to my brother? He became severely depressed to the point we thought he was actually dying. See sometimes in life you should just treat people well, this is a kind gesture but it may end up going more damage than good. Something to think about, blessings
@Zed ig you can't control how people act, people are going to bully him either way and sure there's some kids that do make fun of him behind his back but also there's definitely people that care
@AngrialexCorrelation doesn't necessarily equal causation. I don't think any study out there has found that safer environments have led to increased rates of depression. In fact, pretty much every study has found the exact opposite: unstable, hostile, or otherwise harmful environments often contribute to the development of mental illness. Abusive households, unstable households, lack of support, neglect, bullying (which with social media, has become FAR easier to do), etc etc. I think depression is higher for 2 specific reasons: 1) We recognize it a lot more, and it's not as heavily stigmatized as it once was to be diagnosed and seek help for it. With increased awarn, more people can realize what they feel isn't normal and can seek help for it, and more people feel safer admitting having issues. A lot of people back then just drank or smoked to deal with it. 2.) Higher stress. With more awareness of happenings around the world from media and internet, also means more awareness of the shit things happening around the world. Additionally, technology has lead to companies being able to access their employees outside work hours - askin them to come in or has them doing hours of work online (emailing and such.) The line between work and home is being increasingly erased, and I imagine that further stressed working parents and leads to them being shorter, more annoyed, and more antagonistic with their children (which leads to the kid also being at higher risk for depression too.)
Oh my i remembered when i was bullied in my primary days lol but i was cornered and we fought and never got bullied again by that person and we became as a friend i even bought a gold fish because of his influence.
@Chris LJust being your everyday self is being a hero. “I believe there's a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams.” -Aunt May
@Florida bangin he said he's trying to bull 🐂 stampede others lol. I actually thought maybe he got picked on so one day he thought he can run to his next class and avoid bullies in the hall ways.
Whoever reading this, I pray that whatever you’re going through gets better and whatever you’re struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine I wish you the best of what life has to offer.❤️👏👏
When I was in high school, there was a special needs girl who was very loud and outspoken and a lot of kids would make fun of her. My friends and I talked to her at the end of the day one day and she asked if we could take a picture with her. This turned into a routine where every day we would take a picture after last period. Slowly more and more kids joined in to the point where we would practically fill up the hallway. Sometimes all it takes is one or two kids to be nice for all the other students to see how fun it can be to make other people happy.
You are so right. Most people want to be nice, but aren't confident enough to do it all by themselves. They would eagerly join others though. It's all about having the guts to take the initiative. People want to be nice.
@Mrunal Bahekar you’re absolutely attempting to force your preferences on other people. Post a link to a poll or study that shows that a majority of the special needs community (which is totally an ambiguous term and could be anything from autism to Down syndrome) wants to be referred to as Disabled. Also if we’re talking about the effect of language, it’s a wayyyyy more negative connotation to refer to someone as disabled (meaning not of able body) than to simply say their needs are different or special.
@Satch Vids this is not about what language u WANT to use, its what u SHOULD be using instead. ppl with disabilities have spoken up about this matter themselves, im not just going around telling ppl they should use different language solely bcus its my opinion. this is NOT about my preferences. its what the disability community wants. and its not much uk, theyre not asking u to do them that big of a favor. also, using the right terminology for a community can have a pretty big effect on how society treats them. and its pretty hypocritical of u to say "if people are being kind and respectful then thats all that matters"...
@Jarell White yeah it looks like all fun and games until you ask, "what are they showing support for?". Maybe he doesn't want the "support" of standing in his way taking a selfie. Maybe he just want to run to his destination in peace without being singled out? I don't know why he runs to class but I'm sure it's not for their entertainment.
@The Greek God of Wall Street freak isn’t a great word to describe him. Sure it may have started out as a joke, but then it evolved beyond that. It could be way worse for him, but his peers showed some sort of support by giving him high fives and cheering. In his eyes, I’m sure he likes it and thinks of it as support. Maybe their intentions aren’t right, or maybe they are, but that doesn’t matter if John is having fun.
How wholesome. In the school I went to people would probably have bullied him for it. So good to see these kids embracing the eccentricities of others.
@ma boi Gilgamesh yeah, gotta agree. I had a friend with ADHD who would do this and they dogged him. Maybe middle school or elementary; but nah, not in high school.
There was legit a kid from my high school who use to run full speed to every class. He was kind of bullied, one year the seniors tied him to a pole. Kids can be ruthless.
Yep. I'm gen Z and my mom always got onto me for needing glasses, braces, bad shoes, messy hair, acne, etc because she was bullied for those things when she was in school for them, but only like 2 people ever made fun of my crooked teeth and that's it.
@Alyssa Lurveyyeah everyone assumes kids are much more mean now but kids are a lot more supportive in school these days, they just know worse words than we did at certain ages and have no filter. Shit in middle school I barely knew any curse words but my little sister would say “Fuck” as a 7 year old. I’m only 7 years older than her.
@Cookie Lover My mom walked 3.5 miles to & from school, everyday, up & down the holler in Eastern Kentucky. I always made fun when she says that, but then I hear kids like u actually complain about having to walk in a heated, dry, safe school... to his next class. Now I feel bad for making fun of my mom. Life really was soooo much harder just 2 generations ago, you guys just have no idea! Its not your fault, im not saying that. Its just sad & a bit scary is all.
Had 2 kids in my high school do the same thing every single year. They’d only run to the bus together but they lined up at the end of C building and raced to the bus ramp together. Most students knew about it so we would always make way for them when the bell rang.
🎥 @john_bravo_runs on IG
@Rckatz👍🙌🙌🙌
Welcome to America 😅
LOL GO JOHN
@Rckatz no
Instead of bullying they encouraged him. Whatever students enforced this motive are good people
@Maya Butler What do you mean? Why do you run to your classes and why would people bully you for that?
@David-Dezeree Towne Laughing at "weird" people is not bullying unless you are hurting them and making them feel bad. You can be entertained by the "weird" kids and still treat them with respect.
@Prophet Citrus Exactly. Banter and light hearted teasing is not bullying, and this definitely doesn't look like bullying. They are giving him high fives and buying him shoe like how tf is that bullying?
@xzeuii You got bullied for running to class? I don't understand. Why did you have to run to class and why is running to class a cause for bullying?
America really confuses me.
@Daniel Doyle How is this bullying? They are just having a laugh.
Had a kid in my college that did this. You’d randomly see him running through courtyards and buildings…talked to him once in the library…legend
@Drake D ohmygod yes
@Nathan Pfirman omg😭💀😭
My question is why is their a kid in college?
@Brayden LoVetere did you perhaps catch him running errands?
@Ivanka I caught him printing some things for class 😂😂 rare moment
These kids are different man. They were born with the empathy that was ripped away from their parents. The world might actually survive because of them
@JD BLACK haha we def knew what hate was. You’re funny
Expressed my feeling perfect way.Thanks
One time he gone do it past a hood nigga and just get his biscuit jellied thinkin he gone runnup on him
His future employer going to appreciate his sense of urgency.
I was this kid doing construction beat that out of me though
just shows ah yes, putting in maximal effort for a company that doesn’t care about you. dream employee right there 🤦🏼♀️
Running around actually means he gets up late everyday. Means he lacks discipline?
Don't hate on me I'm just making a point
He is his own future employer
man's got the most strict teacher on the opposite side of the campus😂
I’ll never forget the day my freshman year when everyone made a circle around one of the special needs kids, he was doing a dance battle with another student and everyone was genuinely cheering him on, though im sure some were laughing at him. Mostly everyone was really happy for him :) he looked really happy most important of all
When you got the passion and those around you are supportively.
*suportive
@Junior Betrayal thanks man :)
@Junior BetrayalI don't know 8 billion people in this world.
@Junior Betrayal Couldn’t be more true.
Amazing energy all round 👌🏻 the world needs more of this
When your strong, you have the ability to lift people up, not put them down! This brought tears to my eyes as I have a child with autism, and it pains me to know his social fears dealing with school and life in general.
This kid is goin places. Most likely his next class
I'm not too sure where, but you are probably right about it being his next class🤷♂️
/sar
Ok now this is gold.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
💀
😂😂😂
I needed that today... tears flowing....Thank you all for cheering John on.Thank you Jesus
Bro I need a school like this. People that actually support you and not look at your weird
Them some well raised kids being all supportive and shit. Gives me hope.
@Zerxc I agree it's lucky if you got popular
you are lucky if you ever get popular like this
@Hunter of Darkness I understand you, but time will pass and you won't ever remember school
Honestly my current highschool is such a single minded hive 😭. Can't even make proper friends because everyone is the same thinking they're hot shot and real gangsters. Livin in a rural 3rd world is crazy because once you made an enemy it's war. I miss my old highschool where even tho I didn't have any friends I didn't have to worry about being robbed or bullied.
The world needs more of this❤️❤️❤️
Nice to see that there are still nice people in the world
“I have bad social anxiety.. I’ll just run to my classes to avoid people in between”
Later that year…
Do all the likes make you anxious ? ;)
This comment is underrated
Lolll😂
Why is there such a disproportionate amount of emojis under this specific comment but no others
😂
I love this clip❤ it shows me that there are good people in this world.
This is super embarrassing yet wholesome at the same time.. when I was in elementary school I had one of those roller backpacks. I would ride that thing into battle (class) every day, and all of the high schoolers would line up outside of the buses like this to cheer me on. Through everything I went through in school, that definitely made a huge impact 🙏
I didn’t know kids were this wholesome
@Ghosty Frost the internet is where the devil lives
Ya this was unlikely but obviously once cheering rather then bullying got traction prob took off
Most of them are not this wholesome
He doesn’t need an Oscar, he needs to get to his next class
Teamwork at its finest! Way to go🎉
This is how school should be. Students lifting up students.
bro lowkey think if they wasn’t bullying they wouldn’t even care if he was running I think it started off as bullying but since he got popular on TikTok in stuff they want the pictures in stuff in now they give them shoes
@Lewis Sorry, but the world outside of school is, too.
I used to go here and it was def not this uplifting lmaooo
@Puteri Balqis No, because the bad students wouldn’t learn anything. They’d just be bad in a more contained environment
Haha not my school 💀
11 years ago in Junior High School I started running after sports class back from the basketball courts to the classroom, there were lots of sections with concrete stairs and I loved to jump them down while running, it was... liberating. My classmates started doing the same and suddenly I've created a trend, even students from other classes saw what we were doing and began repeating that after their sports classes. Fun times.
Wow. Imagine the encouraging feeling he gets every time he gets to learn. This boy will be a great man with the help of his cheerful peers. Hes gonna have that fire going for a while. Now thas dope 💯
Bro ain’t just the main character, he’s the chosen one
Good title for a movie, The Chosen One. Eddie Murphy should get the starring role.
Bro ain’t just the Mc he the author
He's not just the chosen one he is the chosen main character
@GløggeTV🐐😭 Goated comment
Hes speed running school,so far there haven’t being no glitches,crashes or soft locks yet 😂
This is just a sign that kindness is happiness. ❤ the fact they took there time to make him feel like he can do any think 😊
This is so heartwarming
If only all students were this supporting and loving
I’ve been a teacher for 4 years and most students are like this, very loving and supporting. Don’t cry because you were bullied in school during a completely different generation because kids these days are no where near as cruel as you wish they were or the way the media portrays it! One bad example doesn’t equal an entire group of people
@Don't Care Keywords: “When I was in school”
Seriously, I was surrounded by a bunch of assholes all the time
Yeah, the students in my school were a bit hateful instead
Yeah we really need to support the captian autizmos
How wholesome ❤
Literally can I just have that enthusiasm ??? Love him !!! We should all try to be that cool good luck
Damn these kids different. At my school somebody would probably set a tripwire or some shit. Good kids.
Mine would be a banana peel
@asymsolutions I mean yea this is the thing to do. But the kids in my school as a kid wouldn’t of spat on you if you were on fire.
Or if John was asian, Hispanic or black dude.
and some of us would go set up a stationary camera point, grab a stop watch, record it, and send snippets of what he did each run that improved his times and what moves to avoid.
Give that kid a little taste of the drug that is racing.
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew
This is so wholesome 😭
In my class our friend always chugged his water and me and other ppl suddenly cheered him on. I love how we all collectively decided that everytime we see him get his bottle out in a lesson we all chant "chug chug chug" and clap at then end. Some ppl time him on their watches and see how fast he's done it.
The fact they bought him shoes is so wholesome
but the cheering and stuff is all completely genuine. he’s a legend, and people aren’t mocking him by cheering, which is the most important part.
@Mike Oxmal so actually as a kid who goes to this highschool, no one bought him shoes. there was no money raised idk where dylan got that information from. rather nike saw the videos and reached out, and donated new running shoes and clothes.
@NeowaffenAestheticsᛉ☦️ bro chill
@JyTV You cracked me up real hard 🤣🤣
Reddit Cringe Moment.
That’s so freakin sweet dude ♥️
The world needs more videos like this
this is oddly wholesome for high school kids. we're going the right way ig.
@CJ HUMALAokay my thought exactly.
not high school. middle school at best. look how tiny all the students are
@mellow actual hell
Back when I was in highschool everyone was trying to kill me, of course those idiots failed because I'm here now to tell the tale.
@Gunnard Black I live in cali and where I live it hardly rains or snows so all the schools here are department blocks (science, english etc) that they plop down randomly across the campus. I’m guessing where they live the weather is similar to mine so there really isn’t a reason to roof the entire school.
Just saw someone else respond before me and if it makes you feel any better whenever I go to a northern state the schools look strange and I have to remember that it actually snows and rains in other states and not just in the mountains.
These kids got class ❤
Real school spirit I wish our people understood these simple act of care and respect 😢🎉
So he’s on his way to class and hundreds of kids are running late to watch him be on time…
yeah, I'm trying to understand why are they lining up for this? Don't they have somewhere to be? Is he special needs or something?
@Ariel Nunez 🤣🤣🤣
They actually aren't late at all since john is running at super sonic speed he's only there for a sec.
thats love . we need more kindness. pay it forward n do the right thing. it will only make your life better.. one step at a time, one day at a time ✌️
Go John go, love is BEAUTIFUL....this kids amazing
imagine if school was actually like this, motivating and supportive community
@Savannah Pruett exactly my thoughts, its a different way of mucking around with someone
May you all are the problem, as a gen z when I was in highschool everyone was nice. I use the term nice loosely as there are different levels of nice in highschool you have genuinely nice, you have kinda nice, you have sorta nice and so on. Then you’d have pessimistic people like you lot who perceived everyone as rude, mean, and so on just because you haven’t interacted with them on a personal level
If the amount of bullies i have could fly school would be an airport
That’s mad bro never would’ve thought of raising kids in a supportive community environment in high school shits beyond me
That's one humble generation. 💜
❤ it we need more love in this world
Its always nice to see students supporting one another
Also props to John for basically uniting the school and creating such a friendly environment for everyone

@esotericvv thats dumb in every way you can think about
@colorado livin So you're saying bullying a poor kid for running is necessary? You're calling kids soft for not bullying people, you do realize bullying can end in suicide right?
Good people are rare this is nice
As the parent of a child with special needs this makes my heart happy. These are amazing, respectful, understanding kids that are going to be amazing adults.

John: "Never misses a class"
His fans: "Fuck class"
Lmao
🤣🤣
Thats hilarious
@Alejandra Ponce nah,we see it
Meanwhile he running because he always late while they be on time
This is amazing i love this i wish more people were like this,we need people in our schools like this
So nice of them 💖
Yo honestly we need more schools to be as supportive as this.
@Zed ig you can't control how people act, people are going to bully him either way and sure there's some kids that do make fun of him behind his back but also there's definitely people that care

@Angrialex you genuinely don't know anything about depression or how the human brain works.
@Angrialex u mad?
this is so cute im crying
I’m impressed with the kind deeds of these students. Rarely hear the positive coming from schools nowadays… very refreshing
Idek tbh, cause nowadays at school this could be bullying I see it all the time at my school
Damn bro they really chipped $300 together for him?! Nice as hell, positive people
What running shoes are $300 though. That seems pretty high.
@ace he can flip that into thousands in an option trade or some shit 😂😂😂😂
yeah you'd get tripped over I'm my school lmao
@Jetoux you never know 🤷🏾♂️
I love seeing this!
We need so much more of this!❤.....
This is wholesome and I love it
Everyone in this school seems chill. Cant say the same to mine.
@Moscov i go to that school lol
My school I had to put up with school shooters and bomb threats and terrorist attacks and hate crimes on a daily basis
When I was in junior high, someone pooped in the urinal lmaooo
lmao i wish they were chill at this school, i went there it’s north gwinnett high school, this is not an accurate representation at all
This is the kind of energy I get every week in my highschool, sometimes you could even forget that bullies never existed, just awesome.
Good people with good environment. They have the happiest days of their life
What started out as avoiding the bully, has turned him into the hero.
Oh my i remembered when i was bullied in my primary days lol but i was cornered and we fought and never got bullied again by that person and we became as a friend i even bought a gold fish because of his influence.
This definitely what happened
@Chris LJust being your everyday self is being a hero.

bro's going places
they bought him shoes, set up a finish line and his name was cheered. Truly wholesome.
@Florida bangin he said he's trying to bull 🐂 stampede others lol. I actually thought maybe he got picked on so one day he thought he can run to his next class and avoid bullies in the hall ways.
@TheKidWhoLovesBacon I love bacon too. Great, now I want bacon, thanks alot.
@Brett Mastema Wow!! Engaging, true and heartfelt response. Too bad the person it was intended for, probably wont get it.....
@Hazza "Face full of concrete"..... thats fuckin hilarious
lmao ur so right
That's commitment and wholesome
This is some good awesome wholesome news
I love how one thing made both the boy and the school happy.
@gBruh that's exactly what he wants you to do
@Brody lol go outside
Whoever reading this, I pray that whatever you’re going through gets better and whatever you’re struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine I wish you the best of what life has to offer.❤️👏👏
@g You fell right into his hands 💀
The Waffle House has found its new host
This is so wholesome 😭
my school would NEVER
We need more of this in the world.
When I was in high school, there was a special needs girl who was very loud and outspoken and a lot of kids would make fun of her. My friends and I talked to her at the end of the day one day and she asked if we could take a picture with her. This turned into a routine where every day we would take a picture after last period. Slowly more and more kids joined in to the point where we would practically fill up the hallway. Sometimes all it takes is one or two kids to be nice for all the other students to see how fun it can be to make other people happy.
You are so right. Most people want to be nice, but aren't confident enough to do it all by themselves. They would eagerly join others though. It's all about having the guts to take the initiative. People want to be nice.
@Mrunal Bahekar you’re absolutely attempting to force your preferences on other people.

@George Kotti I don’t have any friends
You definitely try to one up your friends stories no matter the story 😂
What a great school and students. Bravo :)
Bro that’s awesome!
Wish my school was that nice…
This is the school culture we want.
@Bon bon ur soft bro
@Jarell White yeah it looks like all fun and games until you ask, "what are they showing support for?". Maybe he doesn't want the "support" of standing in his way taking a selfie. Maybe he just want to run to his destination in peace without being singled out? I don't know why he runs to class but I'm sure it's not for their entertainment.
@Jarell White Freak
@The Greek God of Wall Street freak isn’t a great word to describe him. Sure it may have started out as a joke, but then it evolved beyond that. It could be way worse for him, but his peers showed some sort of support by giving him high fives and cheering. In his eyes, I’m sure he likes it and thinks of it as support. Maybe their intentions aren’t right, or maybe they are, but that doesn’t matter if John is having fun.
Man that’s awesome!
More wholesome shit like this plz
Why can't my school be this wholesome
I love it 💗
it starts with the man in the mirror
@negus no, there will be court, so he better call saul
I will prove everyone that they are not normal
@Vector and what are you gonma do? Sit around?
@negus one of them broke my femur so bad btw, and he and his friends and female friends (I can't call them his girlfriends) think that I Am guilty.
john, mah good boi!!! I will cheer for him too 😁
I would definitely join this 😊
This is the best thing dealing with schools I’ve heard in years.
I had a stroke reading this
fr cuz usually people at e shut but this is nice
Means
We can see you did not pay attention during all those years 😂😂
Bro got that speed
So beautiful ❤️🥰 these children were raised right and believed in the right thing ❤
How wholesome. In the school I went to people would probably have bullied him for it. So good to see these kids embracing the eccentricities of others.
@ma boi Gilgamesh yeah, gotta agree. I had a friend with ADHD who would do this and they dogged him. Maybe middle school or elementary; but nah, not in high school.
There was legit a kid from my high school who use to run full speed to every class. He was kind of bullied, one year the seniors tied him to a pole. Kids can be ruthless.
Yep. I'm gen Z and my mom always got onto me for needing glasses, braces, bad shoes, messy hair, acne, etc because she was bullied for those things when she was in school for them, but only like 2 people ever made fun of my crooked teeth and that's it.
@Alyssa Lurveyyeah everyone assumes kids are much more mean now but kids are a lot more supportive in school these days, they just know worse words than we did at certain ages and have no filter. Shit in middle school I barely knew any curse words but my little sister would say “Fuck” as a 7 year old. I’m only 7 years older than her.
I still think somehow they are bullying him.
at the very least they are giving him attention he did not ask for.
He a runner he a track star❤️
God bless John ❤🏏 that’s beyond a strong support system
When the school schedules your classes across the fuckin Campus every other period
@Messup7654 i noticed that tho i see that comment everywhere 😭
@Marla Fowler what?
@Marla Fowler its not even the fact I have to walk across the school. It's the fact they only give me 5 minutes to do everything I need to do
@Cookie Lover My mom walked 3.5 miles to & from school, everyday, up & down the holler in Eastern Kentucky. I always made fun when she says that, but then I hear kids like u actually complain about having to walk in a heated, dry, safe school... to his next class. Now I feel bad for making fun of my mom. Life really was soooo much harder just 2 generations ago, you guys just have no idea! Its not your fault, im not saying that. Its just sad & a bit scary is all.
We need more people like this in the world
Yes, Dream Kids. Positive and happy. 🤩
That’s actually sick how one person can make everyone’s day with something so simple. We’re so complex yet so simple
No fr! I want to be his friend 😭
@KALKIN K sounds simple to me
He’s serious about his classes & in shape to boot
@Kieran_t_2010 no shit they laugh at it
your point is?
I am supportively too...
This is refreshing to see. Goes to show there is some good left in the world.
This caught me smiling
I wish all schools are as supportive like this
@FICUSULXD189 emo
@FICUSULXD189 you're soft af
Johnathan is THE G!!
Had 2 kids in my high school do the same thing every single year. They’d only run to the bus together but they lined up at the end of C building and raced to the bus ramp together. Most students knew about it so we would always make way for them when the bell rang.
I love how he’s just so focused and dedicated on getting to his next class but still makes sure he gives everyone a high five
@Nicolay Morkovin he’s obviously on the spectrum relax.
Forrest Gump energy.
He didnt high five everyone tho 🥲
This is weird
Sheesh bro is an athlete 😳
Faith in humanity restored
At my high school, all the kids would’ve shamed him to death. Everybody was ruthlessly mean.
@Manny the German Shepherd still the case for most schools including mine
@No incomprehensible i think the child is clear here.
@Avaze you're a child everything will be ight don't trip kid
@No incomprehensible okay, whatever you say. dont say i didnt warn you. have a nice life ❤️
