Thank you for this series from our family in NYC ‼️♥️🙏🏾

[@TheRescueDogs]

Thank you for putting them all together in one place!!!!

[@ItsAllLove4Real]

This is awesome...I love it

[@RubyGaudy21]

This is something someone in the schools should have worked to change decades ago. Big applaud and hugs to Steve Hartman. No one every forgets that feeling of being the new person and knowing no one, it stays with you all the rest of your life.

[@desmeisme]

In middle school I use to eat lunch in the girls bathroom. I’m 21 now but it was easier than walking around lonely. When my teacher found out, he made a lunch program where kids could go to his classroom to eat inside so I didn’t have to continue eating there. How time changes things

[@stevenhill6615]

Steve, Meryl and Emmett; These segments are some of the best stuff on TV! Brilliance and a joy to watch every single time! Just love it! ❤️

[@Jesussaveme85]

Wow this really brought tears to my eyes. I wish there was something like this when I was in school. I believe my abandonment feelings wouldn’t be what they are today.

[@sandyware1111]

This club is truly awesome-kudos to founder of this movement.

[@annasahlstrom6109]

When I was in high school, I sat alone at first and then just invited myself to other tables, but it was very clear that I wasn't entirely welcome. I didn't have a social group and my friends were all part of different clicks, so I didn't get to hang out with them much.

[@TCGill]

I love the fact that people are not only talking about this (Kindness), they are acting on it. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside for humanity :)

[@cian4468]

Dennis: "Whether you are 16 or 60, we have a responsibility to one another." Thank you!

[@Nan-59]

I love that Steve's kids are in these videos now!

[@meltin9026]

The way she watches her father is just pure love.

[@KR-te8kw]

This is so heartwarming!!!❤❤I wish they had this at every school! No one should ever be alone. We all need each other❤I love this so much!

[@jottomatte]

Wow this is amazing. My 14 year old nephew told me he sits alone during lunch and I don’t even know how to help him (I live across the country). I feel like teachers should help gather some champions to do this program Dennis started “We Dine Together”

[@lystraallicock695]

Teachers may be unaware of what's happening at lunch time. Why not pitch your idea (it's a very good one) to the teacher/teachers during Parent/Teachers meeting (I think you call it Home/School Assoc). You will be happy you did 😀.

[@jottomatte]

@@lystraallicock695 oh yes! Sorry I meant, the staff who “monitors” students during lunch and recess time. That’s a good idea, I will bring this up to my brother who can bring it up during parent/teacher conference. Thank you!

[@sharontabor7718]

Teachers can't do everything. Make it a charge with one of the clubs and teams at school: Beta, National Honor Society, FHA, FFA, cheer, baseball, basketball, etc. It has to be student led to make an impact

[@jottomatte]

@@sharontabor7718 hey, yes I agree and mentioned other faculty/staff could gather champions (the students) to start this program. It does have to be driven by students but I was thinking about schools who may not have students who are as motivated or comfortable doing so. Therefore, faculty and staff can nominate students who they think can drive this which also seems to be aligned with the nomination process for We Dine Together program. Just a suggestion!

[@kellyryan2934]

This is so important for our youth & so great to see others take notice of the issue and work to solve the problem. I love these Kindness 101 segments.

[@jaxs7267]

Ahhh, there is hope.

[@shageevideo]

Powerful, praying it continues

[@maggiec8677]

My mom used to pick me up at lunch when I started a new HS this is so sweet ❤

[@beataylorsdeeppinkecstasy9013]

One of the best parts of these Kindness 101 segments is catching up with the people/person involved to see what's going on with them these days. Nice to know that this idea has spread and is apparently still going strong. "In a world where you can be anything, be kind."

[@anh1192]

Wow. What an amazing man Dennis is. Gosh darn it Steve Hartman you did it again …tears are flowing my eyes ♥️

[@TBHealthy]

Wow! A friend referred me to this channel, and I appreciate it so much. I'm proud to have helped someone in College. She was a new commer from another College and sitting by herself in recess. Then a friend and I decided to approach her and the rest is history: the 3 of us became great friends and we still are today. That was almost 30 years ago!!

[@cocoaorange1]

When I was sick in HS, I ate alone, but for the most part, someone sat by me, even if it was only one person.

[@deerhoda7574]

Steve your children are beautiful. And so are your stories. Thank you.

[@juleswick]

I know this is from 6months ago but this really got me!! KINDNESS IS COOL!!! Keep spreading love & positivity! ❤

[@TheRescueDogs]

This is all so beautiful. Every single story was so powerful. Love it!

[@norathefish3338]

What perfect timing! I've been asked by our high school Principal to start an Inclusivity Club next school year. A wonderful model-idea to try. Thank you Hartman Family! 🤗🌈💕

[@chrisgrace81]

Aww. Sweet kids

[@nlp6082]

Another great story and lesson on kindness!

[@gemmeldrakes2758]

This is a really cleverly produced segment. They are essentially using Steve Hartman's old CBS news segments to make new segments for the morning show.

[@juleswick]

Can we do another story with him!? I would love to see this story as his message grows and reaches even more people! ❤

[@tonyagilmer654]

What's great, these kids involved in the movement go on into adulthood, carrying it on.

[@TedMarq]

Just brilliant

[@marcstov]

Steve is an inspiration to me.

[@Terry_Merry_Berry]

I switched schools a lot, I would eat in the bathroom until inevitably, I would get caught by a fellow classmate, usually they would invite me to eat with them.

[@terryrussell-dn2is]

I'm crying!!!! this is awesome!!!!!!!

[@asongbirdsnature1090]

Extraordinary! How wonderful!

[@cherroylewebb9319]

I wish there was a program like this when I was in school. I ate lunch twice in high school which was the first week of my freshman year. Afterwards, I would go to the library during lunch to do homework to avoid being alone and bullied. I pray more schools will implement this or a similar program because no one should ever be alone or excluded. It doesn't take much to be nice or simply ask someone who is alone if they mind you sitting with them. Trust me, it makes a world of difference when you let someone know they matter. Kindness goes a long way. ❤❤❤

[@cocoaorange1]

Sweet program, I hope more school adapted the program.

[@donnaphen503]

Wow, Steve's son looks like an identical younger twin LOL. Another great episode of On The Road with Steve. Best channel on KZbin for sure.

[@onyinyechinwazue9955]

It happens always any time we have a meeting at work. African Americans, white, Asians, Hispanics, Fellow Africans from Zimbabwe, and Kenya, Yoruba's does not want to sit with me. Luckily I found someone from Cameroon who likes to sit and talk to me.

[@Danny-fs1hk]

Absolutely outstanding!!!

[@milliemouse6525]

Aw, I kinda hate these videos 'cause they always make me cry 😢! Great heartwarming story and I love the follow up 😁!

[@daynamarie54]

What an amazing young man !

[@homeworshipwithmartyandamy7754]

In the Bible, it says, "A man that hath friends must show himself friendly...." Everyone needs to know that others care, so we all need to work on this!

[@tcbham2659]

I think that CBS should put a little Steve Hartman bit at the end of every 60 Minutes show, like they did with Andy Rooney.

[@noradedios7639]

Love this!

[@muffs55mercury61]

In my early school years I often was alone at lunch time but it was my own choice as I was an introvert and didn't let just anyone get close to me. That eventually changed in high school. So some kids do not always want to be part of a crowd. These all seem to be good kids which we need as many as we can find.

[@cocoaorange1]

Sometimes I wanted to sit by myself too, especially if I wanted to study, or just reflect.

[@muffs55mercury61]

@@cocoaorange1 Exactly. Sometimes one just needs to be alone or off away from the crowd to chill and reflect. I'm not real tolerant of big talkers (motormouths) or noise.

I wasn’t one of the cool kids. In fact I think I was pretty much invisible! At least it felt that way!

[@EmocionAzul]

I feel you and same here. Now those that made me feel invisible, I just give them the finger and walk away because I rather be alone then be with people who make me feel invisible.

[@quiettornado1970]

I was never included in anything as a kid and teen, not even with my family. so I grew up not wanting to be with anyone.

[@lauradailey7950]

Aw, that made me sad. Thx for sharing. Maybe in small ways it can change!

[@x_8643]

I know I’m in the minority here, but I don’t like it when people do this to me. It makes me feel pitied. I want to be included on my merit or not at all

[@lolacandy9645]

I am a 55 year old man and I have no friends at all im always home watching TV or videos on utube I've tried so hard to make friends even doing drugs but still no luck i think it is because i am gay and ugly

[@lauradailey7950]

You are valuable ✨

[@EmocionAzul]

I'm 29. I fought alone my whole life and been alone my whole life because I'm poor and ugly. I now don't want anymore friends. I feel happy alone. I rather be alone then have not so real people as friends.

[@josephcormier7457]

There are only two things preventing ‘round the clock kindness’ between us all: ignorance and stupidity. Unfortunately, a lot of humans suffer from one or both.

[@drbonesshow1]

Not included in this Inclusion initiative are people who have different opinions from those who are included. In other words, Inclusion is bogus.

I can’t wait for inclusion with 6 figure salaries
