When Texans fan Blake Marshall contacted Jalen Pitre about his son, Mason, dealing with bullying at school, he asked the standout rookie safety if he would be willing to wish him a happy birthday to lift his spirits. AaronWilson_NFL
Pitre did more than that, though, sharing a personal message of encouragement and faith, telling Mason to stand strong in the face of bullying.
Told of the positive emotional impact that he’s made on Mason, Pitre said this was significant to him, too. “It meant the world because he reached out to me as I could help,” Pitre told KPRC 2. “Whenever I can lend a helping hand, I try to do so. I’m completely against bullying. I think it’s very bad, especially in school because of all of the things kids are doing to themselves. If I can help, I’m here for it. Sometimes, you never know what kids are going through.
“That’s what leads most of the time to bullying. I think, if you can stand up to it and have some understanding between both sides, that’s what leads to stopping bullying. Keep pushing and stand up to whoever is trying to bully you. Talk to God, keep God first. Talk to him about all your troubles because he will definitely help you.”
