This Twitter Thread Teaches Us An Important Lesson About Not Judging People

I had this girl in my class and she was considered to be like REALLY DUMB. She’d ask a ton of questions in class, which everybody would consider to be “stupid"and “silly” and even the teachers would often taunt her but she’d never stop asking.

The weirdest thing was that she’d almost always ace the class exams and everyone was like???? Even the teachers thought she was cheating because she wasn’t so ‘smart’ in class. But nobody could prove that she was actually cheating…

I’m pretty introverted so I never really talked to her, but she was leaving school this year and I was genuinely curious about how she did so well on exams and how she didn’t let everyone’s remarks and doubts affect her.

She always used to sit and hang out with only one girl, and she told me that that friend of hers was severely socially anxious and had difficulty in class because she couldn’t bring herself to ask questions or ask for help from others. I’ve felt that way before myself…

So they had this system where during lectures her friend would write down any question she had, and she would ask them for her. And I was just so touched??? Idk but it really changed the way I looked at people…

This girl endured taunts and accusations and borderline bullying for being “stupid” when she was actually really smart and could easily have refused to ask questions for her friend but she did?? And brushed off everything others would throw at her for her friend??

Do you have friends like this? I hope you do. I think it’s so important to have support from people who don’t shame you for your shortcomings, who help you during hard times and don’t embarrass you or leave you hanging, even if they could. And trust me, most people could.
