This story about a woman who wrote a note to three beautiful teenage girls she encountered at a Starbucks outlet. She overheard them talking about another girl being lonely and laughing about it and many mean stuffs.
She wrote on her Facebook wall after leaving the restaurant;
I'm crawling out of my skin sitting next to three very pretty, very boisterous, horribly behaved young teenage girls at the Cotswold Starbucks. So far they have laughed about 1) a girl who wrote a song for the talent show about being lonely (She is so weird!) 2) the crappy presents they have gotten in the past from friends 3) girls who copy them (the worst) OH and just now, how "Catherine wanted to be the lead singer but we took a vote and everyone wanted me instead so sorry Catherine you can be the manager." It is taking all my restraint to keep from exploding so I'm complaining to you all instead. Good luck, Catherine, wherever you are. I hope you find nicer friends!
The someone encouraged her to go back and talk to them about it. She decided to write them the note above which she dropped off. She gave a detailed account of the second encounter as well;
Follow up to my post about the girls at Starbucks.
I left and went to do my grocery shopping, conflicted the whole time, and I could see the girls still sitting in Starbucks as I drove home. I ran into my house, grabbed a note card and wrote a quick, heartfelt note.
Then I ordered three mini frappucinos on my mobile app and headed back up to Starbucks. They were still there. I walked up to them and said, "Hi Girls. You don't know me but it looks like you're here studying and I wrote you a note of encouragement." I handed them the card and walked away. (The drinks weren't ready but the barista agreed to delivering them for me.)
The Note Read"
"Hi Girls!
I sat near you today in Starbucks and listened as you talked. You three are obviously pretty and hard-working. I wish your kindness matched your pretty exteriors. I heard you talk about a girl who sang a song about being lonely in the talent show - and you laughed. About a girl who couldn't be lead singer because you got all the votes, about crappy presents other people have given you…and you sounded so mean and petty.
You are smart and you are pretty. It would take nothing from you to also be kind. - M."
