i have this idea to like buy a carnation for random kids at school that normally dont get appreciated. i dont want to tell my friends and such, so they dont tell others, so that they'll expect it.. then it wont be the same. like i'll buy 1 or 2 roses for like the kids, and the people will give it to them. i read it in a book called "chicken soup for the teenage soul" or whatever, that someone did that and it like changed their life. so do you think this is a good idea? :]
Altruistic answered Tuesday February 6 2007, 7:56 pm: i have to agree with the person below me. The whole flower giving concept itself is a wonderful idea and really sweet, but why offer someone else flowers when you can offer them your friendship? Rather than just make it a moment thing, you can instead offer your friendship and gain something precious for more than just a day. Giving flowers just to make others feel appreciated seems like a pity thing, even if you dont mean it that way. I still say go ahead with the flower idea but in short, why just stop there? Give them a flower and ask them to be your friend. Who knows, you might end up being friends for life with one or more of them. [ Altruistic's advice column | Ask Altruistic A Question ]
illdomybest answered Tuesday February 6 2007, 7:39 pm: I think friendship would be a better gift because from my pperspective if someone did thaat and didnt really bother to get to know me that would kind of turn me off...and just because theyre consider unpopular or unappreciated doesnt mean they think anything of it,are un happy,and and dont have a life...in away that would belike pin pointing them out...i think if you honestly do care then you should attempt to give them friendship that is true rather then a flower because in away that like saying hey lets give all the loser flowers because i feel bad for them being loseers..im not saying that thats how you feel or that they are losers but thats how it comes across and it could backfir so why dont you try giving these people some attention by getting to know them and then give them a flower as a token of genuine friendship.

daisysmiles answered Tuesday February 6 2007, 7:36 pm: I think its a really sweet idea, and im sure who ever recieves them will be very, very happy. I know I would have been, this is the first valentines day that I actually have a boyfriend, all the other years I've been kinda been depressed on Vday.
