@Jennifer Coleman you mean a app that can let you speak? lol Do you think technology is magic? I wish that was a thing tho. there is apps made for speaking and people that cant speak from diffrent disabilities use it, idk if she could use it tho cuz it looked like she didnt have much control of her body the way she was strapped in a wheelchair and everything.
@Samantha Cole ik for people with autism that dont speak, I've seen videos about that but theres not technology that literally lets anyone speak. all I was saying is theres no app that gives mute people a literal voice
You can say that again! I have been on crutches all my life, I have cerebral palsy since birth. I wish someone would have asked me to prom or any of our dances in high school.
I would suggest that this splendid young man, together with his peers are the reason the USA will recover from this "Green-hair dyed nonsense that bawls on the airwaves & social media.
All, my friends were like Brandon and his classmates smart, funny, and kind,I 'was not, the cool girl, I ' had a learning disability and was consider slow, My friends saw me as me, not my disability, I' will never forget their kindness to me.
Bradley is an amazing guy. Bradley being a popular student truly has a heart of gold. Most popular teens in high school would laugh and make fun of Ellie. He saw Ellie for who she is. There’s no reason why Ellie couldn’t go to the prom. I’m so glad she had an amazing time.🙂
This is why I hate popular people and even knowing that Bradley is popular would make me want to walk away from him or roast him or do anything, but what I do like about him is what he did with Ellie.
As much as I have praised for the guy, I rather expect that Ellie's pretty special too. Sure has a lot of friends that clearly love her, and that isn't pity!
@@truman5838 Yuh, now I can tell that you're just that one negative ass bitch nigga in the comments that ruins everyone's mood for no absolute purpose but to be a shit stain of a troll.
Wayne96819 Why do you have to make it about politics? They’re expressing their happiness for the girl and her friends and you’re over here like, “kiCk hiM oUt.” Just enjoy the video geez...
Something tells me that this is a school that is not likely to have trouble with bullying or shootings. We need more like this. Stories like this are what can help other kids to learn tolerance and acceptance. Brendan and all his friends, and the other students supporting them should be so proud of themselves. When you are in a situation where you are so different in some ways, like Ellie and others with challenges, having friends around who accept you for who you are, just the way you are makes it so much easier for them to keep on going.
Absolutely WONDERFUL! !What a remarkable guy and group of friends! In a world like today where hate seems stronger then love or acceptance It's nice to know there are still some young people who have a heart and want nothing back in return. 💜
With an entire graduating class of young adults like this, there's brilliant hope for the future of this sometimes very dark-seeming world. What a great bunch of kids!!
What an amazing young man. For him to see someone like her as a normal human being and doesn't see a chair but the person, that's amazing. Anyone who is confined to a chair should NEVER be judged, bullied or made fun of He gave her the best gift and that is friendship and prom. Wow!
What a great young man. I am an adult with cerebral palsy and on crutches and I wish when I was in high school, I wish someone would have done that for me .
I just saw this video. It’s people like these young folks who will lead the future and the world. We are in good hands. Thank you so much for your example of how to be truly human. Well done! 💜
SO PROUD OF THIS ENTIRE GROUP OF KIDS and especially for this amazing young man. He was raised right and with such a thoughtful heart. So precious seeing her enjoy her prom with a handsome young man at her side and amazing living hearts of the friends that danced at their side. Well done
The awful thing is, if you fell in love with her people would think you are weird, and you only had bad intentions. Then inevitably there is the sex thing, what would people think?. Personally id tell them to Fuck right off and id make her my wife and consider myself a very lucky man.
When we so often hear about school bullying we not only hear about one exceptional young man (great job to his parents!) but a whole group who has friended this girl. God bless them all.
Now that young man is one in a million....I don’t mind admitting I was in tears watching this beautiful act of friendship and respect and Love....If only there were more people in this world with compassion
You are an outstanding young man Brendan, and what a wonderful young woman Elizabeth. Both of you are amazing friends. Ellie has some kick-ass friends!
You know, as a young girl who had some medical issues I longed for someone to stand up to the bullies...that never happened. There were times when the "clique" of bullies would try to do cruel things like befriend a new (boy) student, and ask the guy to pay attention to me. I always declined because I "KNEW' what those kids were up to. They also made young girls that they would have never taken into their fold, part of their "clique" just to be mean. I found the "Fairy Tale" that I am sure some of those kids in my high school class only dreamt about. The man I married could have cared less about the medical issues I had(which weren't properly diagnosed until we had been married for 10 yrs.) He was one in a million as a husband and father.(He has since passed away) To see this young man be able to give a classmate a wonderful experience like this reminds me of something my 2nd son did at HIS prom. His dad and I had been asked to be chaperones (along with 6 other couples who were parents of the other students Jr & Sr High students) Our son didn't tell us anything about the prom, he actually was surprised that we agreed to be chaperones TBH. He had a classmate that was wheelchair bound. She was a very sweet young girl. Our son and his date arrived with the 2 other couples that they had went to dinner with and everything seems to be going great, the kids dances and had fun and about 90 minutes into the prom, I noticed our son going over to the girl who was in a wheelchair. He bend over to her and said something to which she shook her head.....he was a little insistent the second time, and she smiled and when the music started, he gently picked her up out of her wheelchair and began slow-dancing with her in his arms. Well, I'll admit that EVERY single chaperone was in tears & smiles at the end of that dance. The girls parents were there as well (as chaperones)...and WOW....it was absolutely and amazing thing to see. I knew then that we had RAISED ALL of our children to be KIND to others. Never did I ever want (nor did I ever hear) to hear that one of our children made fun of another classmate....it is cruel and due to what I went thru at the small village school I attended I VOWED that my children were going to be raised differently. Different enough to be able to respect others even if they had medical issues.....no one is perfect and we are all "Normal" that is what my DH and I wanted to be able to teach our children and we succeeded beyond measure!!! Brandon Ritchie parents are a rare breed.....Thank you Mr.& Mrs. Ritchie for raising a wonderful young man that I'm sure will be a wonderful husband & father someday.
Prom and dating can be awkward for people with disabilities I had a friend who was classy enough to properly decline my request but others I asked didn't even decline my offer properly But I remember how my friend treated me with dignity and respect and I will always be grateful to her for that
That's awesome !! I'm glad there are young men and women that are still great ppl. This world needs more young people like this young man and his friends .
THis is so Beautiful. Tears of joy flow through my eyes. Glory to GOd, and Bless you Rett and Ellie. You are all amazing children of God. Love you ya'll.💚✝☦✝
i only wish and hope that these people are her friends , as in true friends, not just friends at school, but friends who actively engage with her and include her OUTSIDE of school, and AFTER graduating. so many people do this to make themselves, those around them and the disabled person '' feel good'' or because the pity the disabled person, so they do them a favor, i really hope this is different, i hope these are true long-term, full time friendships, that extend past the school campus.
I can't tell you how absolutely refreshing it has been to see the young people in this video!! Carrying the responsibility of making positive choices isn't easy, but more of a daily life challenge. Thoughtful, heartfelt parenting has guided all of them toward young adulthood. Well done on the part of everyone!!
Beautiful story. I salute Brendan for his kindness and appreciation for Ellie. Blessings to you Young gentleman. Ellie may you succeed in All you set out to do . God Bless You.🙏🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖💖
What a legit story ! How beautiful! Love and compassion goes a really long way ! Brandon is a good kid I’d be so proud to be his parents ! That friend group is so badass
What an amazing young man. Not only does he think of his friends, but he considers himself lucky to have escorted his best friend to prom, even though she happens to be disabled. He sees the amazing person she is, not her disability, and that makes him a person worth knowing, worth being around - it makes him an Angel here on Earth.
His parents did something right good job kid ty for taking this pretty girl to prom and not feeling pressured by it or forced ty for wanting to take her your a good kid with great parents
Most of my life I felt that opening doors and giving disabled people a wide berth was respect. One day I met a woman I was crazy about who had a disabled daughter. Her name was Sonya and she can't talk either. Being a part of Sonya's life is one of my greatest joys in life! Through her I learned how I was not respecting disabled people like I should. Giving them a wide berth was not being a part of their lives. These days I interact with all disabled people I meet. I wish others would learn this lesson! Interacting with disabled people has brought a lot of sunshine into my life!
I wish I could give this kid a hug thank you so much what you did your an amazing young man my sister also is disabled and I wish someone would have done this for her
This might be 3 years late, but its still a sweet story of a lucky girl to have a sweet friend. He's an awesome young man and I hope he keeps being the hero to people around him. The country needs their heroes like him and the young woman. Thank you for the story.
Great to know there are great kids out there, brought up with love and compassion for those of us with disabilities that’s brilliant I wish all society was like that it’d b a better world.

The word gentleman is often thrown around loosely. This young man is the true definition of the word gentleman.

Brendan has a heart of gold and knows the true meaning of compassion, Ellie looked gorgeous.
Thank you young man. May God continue to work through you. God Bless you!
From a high schooler - well this guy is husband material! What a wonderful self confident young man.
You are a wonderful person 🎉and you are a great person and a great friend you are a hero to people keep up being who you are
It’s very rare that high school boys have true hearts of gold like his.
This is so sweet! I think that popular boys are a superhero and beautiful and wonderful and awesome people who help people with disabilities!
Such a well rounded guy! And truly being a gentleman and a true friend!!
That dude just made that girl smile. He deserves some award.
His award is a clean heart. ❤
That kid is a class act, we need more like him!
