Aunt rallies 100 Facebook friends to help nephew stand up to bully
A BULLY WAS left more than a little red faced when he accused Halsey Parkerson of having no friends.
He was wrong, very wrong.
Parkerson met his aunt Delyne Steele for lunch in his Oregon school, South Salem High School, last week. While there, she overheard a bully say that her nephew “didn’t have any friends and no one cares”.
Steele set out to prove him wrong, and took to her Facebook car club group, Cherry City JDM Buy Sell Trade to get help. A user later posted this message to rally the troops:
The response was huge, with 50 vehicles containing 100 people showing up to support Parkerson in the school car park.
Look at all these FRIENDS. Some had come from Vancouver, which is over 350 miles away.
Parkerson was overjoyed with the response. Speaking to KATU news, he said:
As for the bully, he appeared on camera to apologise to Parkerson, even giving him a high-five.
Halsey later used Facebook to thank all of his “new friends out there” for making him a local celebrity.
He also posted this photo of his new mates jamming up the school’s tiny car park.
