Six youths from New York endured the crude jokes and mockery of their classmates.

Because of their long hair, six boys from New York had to put up with the cruel comments and mockery of their classmates, but when their mother learned about it, she had them all trimmed! The others had a moment of guilt and started crying as they understood what was actually driving their desire to let their hair down.

Six boys—two twins, a 10-year-old boy, a pair of triplets, and Phoebe Kannisto—live in Cheektowaga, New York. All six kids left their hair to get quite long, which made their classmates tease them every day.

Nobody was aware of the true motivation behind the six children’s decision to simultaneously let their hair grow out that long. Even their parents were unaware of the reasoning behind their choice. Despite their youth, they had a very compelling reason.
