\nWilliam Gierke, 9, wanted to show his support for cancer sufferers, which is why he picked out a T-shirt that was close to his heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cTough Guys Wear Pink\u201d was emblazoned across the T-shirt, which was sold to support a breast cancer charity. Sadly, his classmates weren\u2019t very kind about the T-shirt. William was bullied and called a \u201csissy\u201d for wearing pink.<\/p>\n

William\u2019s mom Tomi was completely heartbroken when she saw her son come home from school choking back tears. His classmates\u2019 mean comments had made him not want to go back to school the next day. The mom had no idea what to do to help William. But luckily, the boy had a very attentive teacher\u2026<\/p>\n

The teacher took a stand against bullying with a kind gesture
\nWhen William went to school the next day, he was ready for more teasing and unkind remarks. Then he saw what his teacher, David Winter, was wearing. The teacher was very attentive, and had seen how much bullying William had endured because of his T-shirt. So he had decided to wear a pink shirt himself \u2013 to show solidarity with William.<\/p>\n

It may seem like a small gesture, but it meant the world to William. And above all, it was a message to all students that bullying people for their clothing is never OK.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel more comfortable, I don\u2019t let it bother me anymore,\u201d William said after his teacher took a stand against the bullies.
