Despite the fact that most people consider teenagers to be trouble-makers, that’s not really the case.

Many times, these kids aren’t even given the chance to prove the world wrong. Luckily, a young boy is changing the way his peers are seen by the society by doing something truly exceptional.

The story of 15-year-old Romemylion Mitchell is here to restore our faith in the younger generations.

This caring boy has noticed how his neighbors, an elderly couple living all by themselves, need help with everyday stuff such as running errands and going to the store. So, he decided to step in and be there for them whenever they need any kind of assistance.

Romemylion has known the couple his entire life and the compassion he shows for them is just fascinating.

No day passes by without him checking on them. In fact, he pays them a visit a couple of times during the day. He doesn’t go to school before he makes sure they have all they need.

Recently, Tiki Joyner Edwards, the couple’s daughter who lives far away, learned of what the teen boy is doing for her parents and she was left in disbelief as her heart melted.

Knowing that there is someone who gives them so much love and support leaves her at ease. Above all, he does all that because he loves to, and never asks for anything in return.

She just can’t believe that someone so young can be so compassionate and caring.

Feeling the need to thank him, Tiki decided to share her parent’s story on Facebook and tell the whole world how amazing their teenage neighbor is.

“He rides with Dad to the store, helps him shop and brings the groceries in.. he cuts the grass and whatever they may need.”

A little while back, the woman, Cianne, ended up in a hospital. When Romemylion heard the news, he rushed to visit her. The sight of him entering her room and giving her a tight hug of solace triggered emotions at the hospital staff and Tiki. It was as though he was hugging his own mother.

“When he saw Mom today he busted out crying and just held her tight… what a blessing and just wanted to pass on something heartwarming instead of the sad news we see and hear every day,” Tiki wrote.

Tiki hopes that what she had to share with the world will change the way people perceive teenagers as these young souls can be truly loving and caring.

Honestly, not many people would do what Romemylion does, let alone someone that young.

We hope Romemylion will inspire others to become better people.

Woman With Down Syndrome Is Changing The World Of Modeling

This world is full of people who accept and live by the standards imposed by the society, and sadly, this includes predetermining what is beautiful and what is not.

Many times, this leads to people feel less worthy only because they are not as tall or as fit as the models they see on TV.

However, there are also those who don’t accept their value and beauty to be determined by foolish standards and do all in their power to change the perception that others have about them.

Such person is one brave young woman from Australia named Madeline Stuart. Regardless of everything she was told, including that she couldn’t achieve what her peers could, she was determined to prove the world wrong and become famous.

Madeline is a runway model with Down Syndrome and her name is now huge in the modeling industry thanks to her dedication and determination to shine and fight stereotypes about the people living with the syndrome.

Stuart’s passion for modeling began some 5 years ago when she first saw a fashion show.

Seeing the models walk with such confidence made her be like them and show her beauty to everyone.

As he was determined to start a career in modeling, Stuart shared her plans with her mother who was hesitant whether she should support her daughter’s dream. In fact, she was always supportive and told Stuart she could do anything she would put her mind to, but this was a bit different. She didn’t want her daughter to experience disappointment as she was aware how that industry worked.

But, when she gave it a second thought, she knew her lovely daughter will succeed because she wasn’t different but as beautiful as all those models that walked the runway.

The first step towards accomplishing her goal was losing 44 pounds. As for the confidence and the desire, they were there the whole time.

Only a year after Stuart put her heart into become a model, she stepped onto the runway.

Her first session was a huge success and very shortly after people spotted her, she got plenty of bookings.

Now, she fits in 18 shows every single season and she loves it.

Stuart’s name became a synonym for diversity in the industry and she opened the path for other girls with the syndrome. They all look up to her and considered her their role model.

Forbes Magazine named her the number one person who is progressing diversity in the fashion industry in 2017.

On the way to her success Stuart also makes sure to check her health regularly.

She’s now reaching for the stars and is a supermodel who keeps on setting higher targets and standards.

Young Stuart is an example that when we love something so very much and we are determined to achieve it, the success is guaranteed.

Every time I hear stories of elderly and vulnerable people being victims of thugs and getting hurt along the way makes my heart break into million pieces. Sadly, they are easy target, just like the 79-year-old lady who got dragged violently and was lifted off her feat and then pulled to the ground.

The wrongdoer attacked the elderly lady because he wanted to steal her purse. After she found herself lying on the ground, terrified and helpless, he ran away with his prey.

Now, the police at Kettering police department, in the UK, are trying to track the thief down. They have released a CCTV footage of the gruesome act that left many in disbelief of how cruel someone can be.

The video has gone viral and was spread all over the social media. Speaking of it, Detective Constable Paul Bates said: “Many people will be shocked by the CCTV footage we have released today and rightly so.”

“This lady, like everyone else, should be able to go about her business and feel safe. Her attacker has taken that feeling of safety away from her and it is imperative that he is identified and brought to justice.”

The poor lady ended up with a broken arm that would take a lot of time to heal. Sadly, she will no longer feel safe in her hometown, and neither the rest of the citizens.

As per Metro, the police is doing their best to bring the cruel person to justice as soon as possible.

8-year-old boy jumps to his death from ninth-floor apartment in Ukraine

The life of the eight-year-old boy named Anton ended in the split of a second. After being abused for a long period of time, he decided to put an end to his struggles by jumping from the ninth floor of the building in Ukraine where he lived with his parents.

The tragic incident took place on August 23 after the boy came home from school. Some of the neighbors said how they heard shouting coming from Anton’s family apartment. Allegedly, the parents were mad at their son for ripping his clothes. Moments later, Anton left this world in the most horrific way. 

The neighbor who lives downstairs, Zhanna, recalls how the noise coming from the family’s apartment meant the boy got beaten again. After that, there was complete silence which was later broken with the sound of the boy’s body falling on the ground. 

‘Several seconds passed and there was that horrific thud when a body hits the ground,’ Zhanna said.

‘I looked out of my kitchen window and seaw the boy lying below. I called an ambulance and the police.’

‘I saw the family going upstairs to their flat. Ten minutes later the boy was lying on the ground as his parents were racing downstairs in the street,’ said Andrey, another neighbor of Anton’s family.

Anton was pronounced dead at the scene. An innocent life was lost due to the way he was treated by his cruel parents. Currently, authorities are launching investigation against the neglectful parents. 

Anton’s mom and dad were questioned and they admitted beating the boy on the day he jumped into his death. They also confessed how they beat him regularly because according to them, he was misbehaving.

If they are found guilty, the parents face up to five years of jail time. Sadly, the recently fled the apartment and authorities are unaware of where they might be. 

The principal of the school Anton attended, Oksana Zelenska, said how the boy was felling behind and his parents weren’t interested in him at all. 

Psychologist Zoya Pershyna added: ‘Anton visited me for counselling several times. I did not see it coming.’

Maybe if someone from Anton’s surrounding realized how serious the negligence and abuse over him was and alerted social services on time, this tragedy wouldn’t have happened.

Although much progress has been made throughout the years regarding how people with Down Syndrome are regarded and accepted by the society, many of those having the syndrome believe they are still marginalized.

I guess it will take some time until everyone understands that people with Down Syndrome are not any different than the rest of us.

Reaching 80 years, Kenny Cridge was the oldest person with Down Syndrome. His long and fulfilling life made him famous as his name is written in the Guinness Book of World Records.

From the moment he was born, Kenny made sure everyone knew he was a fighter. The moment he and his twin sister were welcomed into this world back in 1939 the doctors believed he was a stillborn. But then, they realized the tiny human was breathing.

Kenny was given a life expectancy of 12 years, but he beat the odds.

After the death of his mother, Kenny moved in with his nephew before he was taken to a nursing home. There, he lived an impressive life. He was happy and everyone around him loved him. The staff recalls how he would always joke with them and the rest of the residents and they all loved his sense of humor.

The celebration of his 77th birthday reached the national news. It really was a party to remember.

Sadly, Kenny passed away this April at the age of 80 but his life is an inspiration for everyone, especially those who have the same syndrome as him.

She’s a diva in every sense of the word. Her powerful vocal places her on the list of the most talented singers and performers of all times. And as you are guessing already, this fierce lady we are speaking of is Celine Dion.

Her impact on the music industry is huge and she never ceases to amaze us with a new talent.

She showed the world how great of a dancer she is when she hit the floor on Jimmy Fellon’s show, and this time she’s amazed us with her incredible sense of humor.

Although she resembles a serious person based on her gracefulness and looks, she’s in fact one of the funniest people we’ve ever seen or met.

Maybe her most loyal fans know of this fun side of hers, but honestly, it came as a surprise to me.

After she was James Corden’s guest on his Carpool Karaoke, people realized there was nothing Celine Dion can’t excel at, including being amusingly funny.

She perfectly combined her undeniable music talent and her witty sense of humor.

Dion and Corden start they fun journey at the streets of Las Vegas where the singer resides.

Once in the car, she reminds Corden of how lucky he is to catch her on her ‘only’ day off of the year and we know right away this episode is so worth watching.

When he asks her how she loves Vegas, she explains that she lives where her heart is and belts the famous lyrics “My Heart Will Go On.”

And when asked whether she enjoys the ride Dion answers back singing “I’m so excited, I just can’t hide it.”

Now as the radio is on, the famous hit “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now” starts playing.

Dion’s hilarious facial expression when she hears the song is now on point as she twists her face pretending not to be happy with the choice of music. But once she lets her voice loose once again, we get she’s in fact in love with that piece of music.

As we enjoy the small talks between the guest and the host, things start hooking up when Dion wraps Corden’s arm around her shoulder and gives him a juicy kiss on the lips.

Wow, she was right, he really is one lucky man. It’s not everyday that you get such kiss from a celebrity of that kind.

As Corden states, Dion really has a song for every moment so he comes up with a hilarious challenge and asks her to put some drama in the performance of the most watched kids’ song Baby Shark. Well, he doesn’t have to ask twice as Dion accepts that in an instant and goes for it.

What she comes up with is beyond hilarious. There’s really nothing Dion can’t do when it comes to music and singing.

But, all this is just the start of an incredible driving-around adventure.

Make sure you watch it till the end and get some good laugh.

Tyrea is a teenager with a heart of gold. He always makes sure everyone around him stays safe and sound and his actions of kindness stole the hearts of many once again.

One cold and bitter day, this teen and his mom got to their van where they placed their groceries, and just when they were about to head home, Tyrea jumped off the vehicle. His mom was confused at first, but knowing his son, she knew he did it for a reason.

Moments later, she noticed him helping an elderly lady get to her car, protecting her from the poring rain with his coat.

The lady thanked him and the two said goodbye to each other before Tyrea got back to his mom’s van.

Tyrea’s mom was incredibly proud of what her son had done. Well, she has always taught him to be kind and compassionate, especially when he spots someone in trouble.

However, it turned out that Tyrea’s mom wasn’t the only one who noticed his act of kindness. A police office named Holt witnessed the whole thing so he decided to follow the teen and his mom. Eventually, he pulled their van over.

At that point, Tyrea’s mom was worried sick because she believed the officer misinterpreted her son’s kind act.

As he approached closer, Officer Holt said, “Mam, I’m shocked.”

Her heart started beating very fast because she was convinced she and her son would find themselves in trouble. But then the officer added, “I’m shocked at how selfless your boy is.”

Those words made Tyrea’s mom cry tears of joy. She knew she raised her boy right, but having someone notice that and praise him that way just melted her heart and filled it with happiness.

Officer Holt believed what this teen did was very special especially because not many teens in his place would do the same.

He then took to Facebook and wrote:

“I told his mom that she has done amazing with him and I hope and pray he goes places.”

However, he later realized that he should have done more for the boy so he wrote another post saying, “Kiddo, if you see me on the street again, this guy owes ya a dinner. You ever need anything, I will come running to ya.”

Some of the people who had seen the post and read the story helped officer Holt and Tyrea get in touch.

Soon after, they had dinner at Red Lobster and invited Tyrea’s mom too.

This lovely story proves that even the tiniest act of kindness can go a long way.

It’s because of generous people like Tyrea and Officer Holt that this world is a better place.

We are sure the praise Tyrea got will only encourage him to do more good in the future. Who knows, he may even become a cop like Holt one day.

If you found this story inspiring please share it with your family and friends.

Toddler best friends hug like they haven’t seen each other in years

Many people we meet during our lifetime come and go, but some of them are there to stay. We call the latter our best friends.

However, there comes a time in life when we can’t hang with those special people as much as we would like to as the world of adults is filled with tight schedules and a bunch of commitments. And when we meet them after a long time, it feels like time stood and we are as close as we were before.

If you can think of such person as you read this, you are lucky.

Two toddlers named Maxwell and Finnegan have been best of friends from the moment they met. They simply enjoy each other’s company so much that they never spend more than two or three days apart. But judging from the way they hug when they see each other, you’ll get the impression that they are long lost buddies who meet again after so many years.

The sweet video below shows just how much these two love and miss each other. It’s only been two days since their last playdate, but they feel like it’s been way longer than that. Luckily, Maxwell’s dad Michael Cisneros, caught the lovely moment on a video. “When they are away from each other, they are always asking about one another,” he said. “They go to music class together, Dana Banana (a weekly music event) and they love to dance — both are excellent dancers.”

Imagine how they would feel after seeing this some 30 or 40 years later.

We hope their friendship will last forever and they will be each other’s greatest support in the years to come.

As for now, we just know that they stole our hearts.
