Beautiful. Just beautiful.

A wonderful story! Beautifully told!

[@worthcanoy7112]

AWESOME!!!Wonderful Job, Lindsey!

[@donlawsonmusic]

Wonderful!!!!! Great job! You should be proud! I am proud of you!

[@Serena27454]

The fact that they were able to tease and pick on someone who's deaf, stirred my emotions. When they posed as if they were trying to be friendly only to draw on her forehead with lipstick brought me to tears. It's one thing to be a bully but to do it to someone that has lost one of their senses is cutting. They all could end up in a fatal accident and lose all five senses PDA: lo hago por un trabajo de clasroom O-O

[@emmabean8387]

This is awesome Lindsey!! 💕

[@evalina98000]

Wow! Powerful!

[@michaelitkoff3945]

Outstanding short! Be very proud of this work. Change begins with unsuspected voices.

[@magmaboop17]

This video is more about the power of forgiveness, but it took one act of kindness to offset all the wrong. Very sweet video, I wished they would have shown some sort of accountability for those that behaved inappropriately.

[@JamesHaney]

Incredibly moving! Well Done!

[@hopemacK]

This needs WAY more views! Although there are no words, you can tell what is happening. This happens to way to many people around the world. This teaches a lesson to everyone.

[@Khepera_ominis10]

*hope macK * there’s no words cuz it’s a silent film lol

[@cindyross359]

this broke my heart because years ago in school i was bullied, a girl smeared lipstick over my face. i come from physically abusive parents so i never knew how to stand up for myself i always feared when others were mean

Those who are tortured deeply in the course of our lives than must contend with the effect... many will come to wonder how we became what we have become from such experiences... life is hard. Kudos.

It honestly doesn't surprise me that 90% of the comments are people who clearly didn't have parents who cared about them enough to talk about compassion. Have fun being narcissists!

FOUL!!!💀💀🤡😭

[@janicemahan4772]

I thought that too. Girls can be such incredible bullies, maybe worse than guys. Probably because we expect the male to be a bully, not the female.

[@ezzgone]

Favorite part was the guy in the Twenty One Pilots shirt
