Parsons reaching out to high school kid being bullied

Nice. I see this in two steps:

1) Micah meets the poor kid, encouraging him and maybe changing his life forever.

2) Micah then gets to meet the bullies. The school sits Parsons in a room with the idiots and just stares at them for 15 minutes. Maybe changing their lives forever too.

That's a little much, but they do deserve a good scare and a bad haircut.

It’s funny to see that people equate this with something that could have actually been a violent or horrific act

stuff like this happened all the time at my school when growing up and nobody ended up in the ER or in psychiatric care with PTSD from it…….I don’t condone bullying but the overreaction is surprising.

tons of virtue signaling to show who can be the most outraged.

The issue I have is that this child has special needs, that's a line for me personally...I agree the act itself isn't a big deal and I saw that happen growing up and in college....my issue is if this child doesn't understand what's going on due to his personal situation
 
Seems like nowadays, people (in this case, kids) are more intent on filming the act of bullying, than trying to stop it. Why didn't anyone try to intervene? Guess it's a lot easier to just lift up your phone and take video. smh

Something like this will often affect a person's self esteem, many times throughout their lifetime. It can be very traumatizing. I was bullied when I was in 6th grade, and I remember that even when I was home, and far away from them, I thought and worried about what would happen the next day. But over the summer I filled out, to the point that I have stretch marks on my arms and shoulders, and those bullies wanted nothing to do with me in 7th grade and beyond, so I was fortunate.

Doing this type of thing to a special needs kid is beyond reprehensible, and that kid needs something really good to come out of this in order for it to not be something he dwells on for a long time. Hopefully, Micah can be that something. I'm very proud to have a man like him on the Cowboys.

oh my bad….I didn’t realize he was special needs. That changes the game. I thought he was just a chubby kid that had the mental capacity to deal with this. It is reprehensible.

Kids have and will always pick on the short, tall, fat skinny and anybody that is physically different but I thought the schools were focusing so much on bullying that a special needs kid would be taboo

maybe the fact that this is so rare that it’s on social media mean that it’s working but that rare exceptions like this are noteworthy of being made ,publicly…..I hope

And to think that there were questions about Micah’s background prior to the draft. Seems to me that he is a really grounded dude.
