Football Team at School Protects Bullied Girl

[TimeEntrance]

A very nice story. It might choke you up a bit too. Whenever I think humanity is totally going down the drain stories like this come out and remind me that there still are some very good people out there.

Kudos to this gentleman quarterback, the girl and her mom, and all “her boys.”

Arizona student with special needs avoids bullies with protection of football team

Chy Johnson is a freshman at Queen Creek (Ariz.) High who happens to have a brain disorder. She is the prototypical outsider new girl on campus, the easiest teen to pick on and the last to be able to stand up for herself.

The bullying incidents got so bad that Johnson’s mother reached out to the one teen at the school with whom she had a social connection through a friend, a senior named Carson Jones. As it turns out, Jones is also the starting quarterback for the Queen Creek football team, a good looking one at that. In short, he is the apex of cool at Queen Creek.

As first reported by AZFamily.com, all Johnson’s mother wanted was to know the name of the girls who were bullying her daughter. Instead, Jones decided to take it upon himself to protect the freshman, eating lunch with her every day and ensuring that she was protected by a phalanx of other football players when she walked through the hall.

“They’re not mean to me, because all my boys love me,” Chy told AZFamily. “So much.”

Off topic but a related side bar: this might be contradictory evidence of the old view that, “Girls are sugar and spice and everything nice” and “boys are slugs, snails, and puppy-dog tails.”

They, are true gentlemen!
Whoever said that chivalry is either dead or the enemy of men’s rights, is dead wrong!

That’s truly heart-warming. It’s especially remarkable that this young man went out of his way to sit with her at lunch, especially when everything at that age is about looking “cool”.

Great post; this is what I like to see.

I’ve always said, when there’s school bullying, if the respected kids (the football team?) stand up to the bullying (“Hey . . . knock it off!”) that’s the best thing that can happen.

That’s soooo sweet!! It’s great to hear the younger generation’s getting better.
