THE MOST INSPIRING STORY💕 “I’ve been bullied my entire life,” the MLK Prep freshman said. But two high school football players weren’t going to let that continue. They noticed their classmate was getting made fun of for wearing the same clothes at school everyday. They gave him bags of new shirts, pants and shoes.

Michael Todd wasn't having the best experience when he started his first day of high school. In fact, the first couple of weeks were horrible because he was a victim of intense bullying.

The freshman wore the same clothes to school every day, which brought unwanted attentions from anyone looking to pick on him. However, things turned around thanks to a bunch of students who knew what was happening was wrong.

MLK Prep football players Kristopher Graham and Antwan Garrett pulled together to buy Michael some new clothes and sneakers. The Memphis, Tennessee teen described the thoughtful moment to Fox 13 as, "The best day of my life."
