Yeah me too. It worries me as someone who was a bigger kid like him that this attention will make possible bullying so much worse. Don't know what its like these days in schools, but I expect not much better than in the past.

As a kid I was put into a local newspaper and in a small town the bullies got so annoyed about this positive attention that I was bullied for it for years after it happened and ridiculed about everything I said or stood for in the article, including the clothes I wore. I hope this kid has adults and friends in his life to mitigate stuff like this, the attention here is on an entirely different level.
