A simple compliment

About five years ago is when a somewhat simple life changing expierence happened to me, And that was giving someone a compliment. At first you might say well why is that such a big deal? it is a kind thing to do and we all have the common knowledge to do that but I knew this girl who would get picked on quite a bit from people for no reason other then her weight. One day I was walking to the back of the school and she was too and I saw her face in pure distraught and just tired of going to school and she also looked like she was crying about something earlier the tears were dried though and I looked at her and smiled and said "That is a really pretty shirt." and she laughed a little and said "Aw thanks." And I could tell right away that it was more then a compliment to her, She smiled and walked up to the school ground with pure confidence after that and it made her whole day. Just from that even if you dont know the person or you dislike the person just a few simple words are never going to hurt you and that is what I learned when I saw her.
