Girl makes fun of school friend for working as a delivery person
In the video, recorded by the girl, she said how he used to motivate them in school to study. Laughing, she added that at the age of 30, he is working as a delivery person. Sitting on a scooter, the boy was seen laughing but was visibly uncomfortable. Making fun of him, she continued, if he was feeling good as a delivery person. The boy kept smiling.
The video ended with the girl saying that she would forward the clip to all their friends. The clip was shared with the caption, “A pizza delivery boy met his school-time female friend on the road…She started recording and mocked him: ‘You used to motivate everyone in school… and now you’re delivering pizza?’ Then she said she’ll send the video to other friends too.”
“She laughed… but didn’t think for a second: Boys’ life isn’t easy. Sometimes responsibilities come before age. Dreams get buried. Self-respect gets tested. Delivering pizza isn’t shameful. Mocking someone’s struggle is. Being a boy is not easy,” it read.
