Ideas for Random Acts of Kindness?

I want to start off a whole week (last week of school!) doing random acts of kindness for people in my school. So far, I've decided that after finishing with my borrowed manga, I'll be writing little messages on pieces of paper and sticking them into the books, so that people will often get a little surprise when they open them (like "You're not alone. You have me") I want to do more! (Haha, inspiration from FaceBook posts 😋)

Any ideas on what else I should do?

I'd pick up litter
*eco warrior!*
your idea might be a little strange, i would definitely not want to find a slip of paper saying you're not alone....

@celeste Haha, my mom does this. 8) I think it's pretty cool. 😉

I can give some simple, everyday suggestions:

-Opening doors for others.
-Asking people how they are are.
-Even smiling to others can help! 😃
-Help a person carry items if their hands seem full.
-Giving your seat in a bus or metro to people who need it (elder, handicap...)
-Give some change to a homeless person.
-Do voluntering. (Money collects... ect)

I'm sure there are some websites out there that have PLENTY of 'random acts of kindness' ideas in them. x3

Ahahah, makes me reconsider my messages for the slips 😋 (More like "You're Beautiful?" I go to an all-girls school)

YESSSSS PICKING UP LITTER

Great idea! 😃

@celeste

I used to stick notes inside of books before turning them into the library c:
Once I reread a book when I was all depressed & found the note still there. Made me tear up a little :'D
It said, "I hope this makes you smile C: "

But that was up til when I stopped reading novels & started reading nonfic. Not as many read nonfic. Dx


Um. I find that just saying "Hello" while smiling to a person who looks gloomy is enough to brighten a day :]
Except if that person is me. I'd flip out and wonder who the heck you are. xD

I'd also try to be polite to everyone, help people if they needed help (with questions in class or just general help around the school), try to make people smile

The little subtle things really do count
