    Honestly was tear grabbing more than anything for that lunch lady and honestly for the troublesome boy Def needed help and needed that hug not detentions suspensions but a hug and probably someone just to talk to

      Thank you @emilythematerialgurl - I wish we all could lead with heart, empathy, and compasison - and respond rather than react. Human connection is crucial, especially now. :)

    Wait, wasting food like that?? What the hell.
    I used to get in trouble in middle school for sharing food off of my tray that I didn’t eat. They rather me THROW IT AWAY. 😮 yeah, my mom wasn’t having that!

    There was plenty of resentment & hurt on his part: Through consideration, patience & kindness on her part, she discovered the pleasant & charming side to the boy. Blatantly obvious who messed around in English. & didn't pay attention by some of the comments below.

      I think if we all take a moment and watch, observe, and listen and care we can do a heck of a lot of good for each other. Caring about people doesn't take an education. Thank you for watching and your comments above!

    The fact they force us to be there for 8 hours and then make us pay for our food like we don't already pay for school is disgusting I hated watching kids get declined at school I always brought extra money just in case someone needed it and they always did I feel like this is a problem more people should pay attention too the government has enough money why take money out of ppl just trying to learn or the fact that we have to pay for our diplomas is fucking stupid
