    What a lovely fella! Teens frequently rip each other to pieces so it's nice that, instead, he was caring. Heart warming.

    A good way to do that is by making sure he knows what goes on. Ignorance is often the reason for taunting and bullying.

    I saw a story about a high school guy who carried supplies for the ladies in his backpack. He was very popular - and smart.

    Amazing the difference in this young man & the older, um, "gentleman" who were posted about recently because they reacted so badly to woman's menstrual products.

    when young - if I had a noticeable stain - I would have been embarassed to be told, but eternally grateful to be saved the horror of finding out the next time I went to the loo - maybe hours later. Luckily our school skirts were navy blue - and if we had an unexpected leak we swivelled our skirts back to front and kept our schoolbags in front of us'.

    It’s a small gesture but one that can save her years of embarrassment. Super sweet.
