There’s a high school student spreading a little more kindness in the world.
YouTube user Shea Glover is a high school student who is definitely set to go far in life. That’s because this inspiring teen knows the value of kindness and appreciates true beauty in the world.
As a social experiment, Glover gathered teachers and students from her high school and asked them if she could film them for a project. The project was capturing their reaction as she told them they were beautiful.
The reaction of the participants was just as inspiring as the high school student conducting the experiment.

Sadly, sometimes people don’t believe – or see – how beautiful they truly are.
One young woman reacts in half-mock-half-true anger, rejecting the idea that she is beautiful. She says, “I’ll cut you in the face!” and tells her to, “shut up!”
Oddly enough, it takes a lot for some of us to believe that we are actually beautiful. Even psychology tells us we are much more likely to hold onto and believe one negative comment than a hundred positive ones. (It’s called the negativity bias, and the N.Y. Times could tell you more about it if you are interested.)

Glover stresses that her original idea was not to conduct a social experiment. She was simply looking to capture everyday beauty as she discovered it in her surroundings.
And found it, she did!
