Artist’s Reminder That “‘Bad’ Kids Need The Most Kindness” Will Pull On Your Heartstrings.

Image of the first tweet in a series discussing the merits of befriending the "bad kid."

5. Try To Include The Bad Kids

Image shows a bad kids tweet that says, "So I bought extra chalk, & she asked him if he'd like to draw with us. ( which in my neighborhood means "DOE IS DRAWING, LETS GO MAKE DEMANDS" and the kids gather for it ) & he eventually started making art requests, but never drawing. Then he spoke up"
Image from X (Twitter).

For Doe, drawing outside with sidewalk chalk is a neighborhood activity. As an artist, she takes requests from children and draws what they request. It took some time, but her bad kid eventually began making art requests, but he wouldn’t draw (yet).

While talking to him, Doe discovered he wished he could draw, but he had no paper. When he tried something with chalk, Doe realized he was a good artist. She gifted him a sketchbook and some drawing pencils.
