Brody Ridder is a 12-year-old student who has been bullied at school. For his yearbook, he was only able to get two teachers and two of his classmates to sign it, and he even wrote himself a note, saying, “Hope you make some more friends,”. When he showed his mom, she couldn’t take it anymore, and she decided to post on FaceBook to show what her son had experienced.

After his mom posted, Brody received support from celebrities, companies, parents and even other kids. They reached out to him either online or in person, and amongst the messages was a hand-written lett from Paul Rudd that read,” Dear Brody, it was great talking to you the other day. It’s important to remember that even though life is tough, things get better. There are so many people that love you, people that think you’re the coolest kid, there is me being one of them! I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you will accomplish. Your pal, Paul.”

Paul Rudd also gave Brody an ant-man helmet signed by Paul. The next time he was at school, a group of high school students offered to sign his yearbook. Brody is looking forward for next year!
