A California boy is stepping up to stop bullying, and his message is spreading fast.
What started as a bad day at recess has now turned into a positive story.
Last month, 12-year-old Tarrick needed an assist when he says he heard a racial slur while playing basketball at school.
“I’m like, what’s happening? And the kid tells me to go out you dumb n-word. And everyone is shocked because no one would ever think someone or a kid would say a racial term, especially that one,” Tarrick said.
Tarrick says he realized the slur was directed at him but instead of starting a fight, his parents gave him a platform on Facebook so he could share his experience.
“What really made me feel good was that my friends and other kids on the basketball courts stood up for me and told him to stop saying what he did,” Tarrick said.
The Walkers weren’t done. They designed blue T-shirts, the official color for National Bullying Prevention Month in October.
