Young Boy Wears Shirt That Says ‘I Will Be Your Friend’ On First Day Of School

Some schools are already in session around the country. One little boy named Blake decided to wear a personalized shirt on the first day of school. His mom, Nikki owns a personalization business. Nikki told Blake that she would make him a special shirt for the first day of school. It could have anything he wanted on it, but what Blake chose will warm your heart.

Blake asked his mom for a shirt that said, “I will be your friend,” on it. His reasoning? He wanted all the kids who needed a friend to know that he would be there for them. How sweet is that? Nikki loved how kind her kid was and posted a photo on Facebook.

The caption read, “I have to brag on my son. I told him that as a back to school gift, I will make him any shirt he would like. It could have anything- a basketball theme, football, etc. which are all his favorites. He thought a while and said, “will you please make me a shirt that says ‘I will be your friend” for all the kids who need a friend to know that I am here for them?” Never underestimate your kid’s heart for others! I love my sweet Blake! #stopbullying”

Nikki also said that Blake had experienced bullying in the past. Now, Nikki has sold other versions of the shirt and said that Blake is thrilled. He said that more and more people will have friends! What do you think of Blake’s idea and his shirt for the first day of school?
