With the overwhelming amount of crime that circulates the news, it’s always heartwarming to hear about people performing selfless deeds for strangers. It's even more spectacular when the good Samaritan isn't an adult.
It’s hard to forget the story of the 17-year-old boy who saved a woman moments before she was going to jump off a bridge. There’s also the time a 7-year-old started a campaign to raise money for his classmate after his house burned down. The 18-year-old in the photo below is also getting a lot of attention for his noble act.
Christian Trouesdale, a supermarket employee from England, was photographed as he assisted a 96-year-old customer home while holding his groceries. The photo, shared by a woman named Samantha-Jayne Brady on Facebook, has gone viral — with over 70,000 shares. It's also received tons of comments from users praising the teen, including one who wrote, "Thank you, Christian, for making the world a better place."
Yet, Trouesdale says he's shocked by the public's response.
"The reaction has been completely crazy, my Facebook is just overflowing with messages, I can't even start to read them all,” Trouesdale told The Bolton News, his local newspaper. "It is very strange because this is just something I would normally do, my parents have raised me to treat other people like you want to be treated yourself."
