One little girl is crying because another child called her \u201cdumb.\u201d From the video, it appears as though an adult has already stepped in to console the little girl. But it\u2019s the actions of a fellow classmate that makes this moment so powerful.<\/p>\n Seeing the girl\u2019s distress, a young boy comes over to offer encouragement. And he wisely points out that we shouldn\u2019t let others define our self-worth.<\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t listen to that guy that called you dumb.

And then he affirms the girl by saying, \u201cLook, you\u2019re smart.\u201d<\/p>\n The boy\u2019s words have such a big impact. The little girl originally began crying because of a hurtful insult.
