Children are capable of the best and the worst. And they are based on what they have learned from the elders, that we are responsible, in large part, for their behaviors, both positive and negative.
These 6 brothers decided one day to let their hair grow as much as possible to help in some way. to all children with childhood cancer. What they did not know is that their good work would imply the rejection and teasing of other children that, apparently, they have learned from their parents and their environment that children should not wear long hair, and that if they do, you can laugh at them.
The story of the Kannisto brothers
As we read in BoredPanda, Phoebe Kannisto She is the mother of seven beautiful children (six boys and one girl), who one day decided to take a beautiful action: to help children with cancer.
The incredible thing about the subject is the determination of the children, because it is a very laudable act, but it is something that is done in the very long term. This is not like telling a child that he is going to do something for others for a while, and then that's it; but a gesture for which it takes a lot of preparation time (the time necessary for the hair to grow).
They are Andre, of 10 years; his twin brothers Silas Y Emerson, 8 years old; and the triplets of 5 years Herbie Reed Y Dexter. The daughter, Marah, who is 2 years old, could not be part of the initiative because her hair had not grown too much.
The day they finished their good deed
Last Monday, the whole family went to the hairdresser to finally get what they had been waiting for so long. The hairdressers were so excited to know the reason they decided not to charge them anything, even though they had a good time with them.
The hair obtained was delivered to Children With Hair Loss, a non-profit association that handles donations and subsequent delivery in the form of prostheses for children affected by cancer.
The months and years of teasing
In contrast to this beautiful story, we must put all the children and all the people who had the rudeness of addressing them to try to ridicule them or let them know, without them having asked for it, that they should cut their hair because they looked like girls. Given that some of them were up to 5 years to achieve their long hair, you can imagine all the opinions and malicious comments they received.
However, as I say, they were so clear what they wanted to do, their objective, and such was their determination, that they learned to go from criticism.
In fact, his proud mother explained to HuffPost that they are already making calculations and predictions to know when they can donate their hair again.
Triple learning
And what do these six brothers get along? A triple learning, no doubt. The prize of feeling good after doing something for others, the satisfaction of having been able to wait so long and the ability to keep their decision above other people's teasing.
No wonder his mother is proud. A simple gesture It has helped everyone to grow a lot as people.
