MIDDLE SCHOOLER SEES BOY GETTING BULLIED, GETS FED UP AND TAKES AN UNPREDICTABLE
APPROACH

Melvin Anderson and Romello “Mello” Early are very close friends at Buffalo
Creek Academy Charter School. But despite their tight bond, Melvin found himself
on the receiving end of some cruel bullying from his middle school classmates.
It was pretty relentless, and Mello eventually picked up on the issue. But Mello
wasn't one to ignore an issue like bullying. He knew he had to do something
drastic to make it stop.




An odd couple



Residents of Buffalo, New York, Mello and Melvin are a real life odd couple.
Their personalities and demeanors couldn’t be more different! Melvin is a very
reserved young man, boasting a calm, gentle voice. As for his seventh-grade
classmate, Mello is a huge extrovert — he’s as affable as they come at the
school. Regardless of those differences, though, the pair get along famously.

The bullies’ focus...



So, that brings us to October 2022. During that period, Mello saw that his pal
was getting taunted by some of the other students at Buffalo Creek Academy
Charter School. Specifically, the bullies were focusing on Melvin’s choice of
footwear. His sneakers weren’t in the greatest condition. Not only were they
covered in muck, but the shoes were pretty worn out, too.

“Weren’t up to par”



To shed a bit more light on that, the dean of culture at the school spoke to FOX
in November 2022. Bryant Brown Jr. said, “His shoes weren’t up to par. Melvin
likes to run in the mud and get his shoes dirty.” Nothing wrong with that,
right? Kids and mud go together like peanut butter and jelly! In this case,
though, the bullies used it as ammunition against Mello’s pal.

A widespread issue



And unfortunately, Melvin isn’t the only kid who’s had to deal with bullying at
an American school. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website
reported 20 percent of students at high schools across the country have come
forward to say they’ve been bullied. Talk about an eye-opening statistic! A
whole 20 percent of students live in fear of bullying every day.
