We all like to make fun of kids and their obsession with TikTok nowadays. But sometimes it is used for good, as was the case in this story.
A 12-year-old boy in West Virginia got pinned under his ATV while he was livestreaming on his TikTok account. He was by himself so there was nobody else around to help. Luckily, there was a 13-year-old in New Hampshire who happened to be watching the video live and managed to use his quick thinking to get help. The boy who was trapped was calling out random numbers that sounded like a phone number. He was in fact shouting the number of his grandparents house phone. The boy watching called the number and got in touch with his parents who go to the scene and lifted the ATV off him.
He was trapped for a bout 20 minutes total and thankfully only suffered some minor cuts and bruises. The two kids who have never met, came face-to-face via Zoom on Monday so the boy could thank him for everything he did to save him.

I’ve heard this since I was a kid that if you eat carrots it will improve your eyesight. I always thought it was just a trick my Mom used to get me to eat more veggies. Turns out there is some truth to it!
Carrots are very rich in something called beta-carotene, which helps your body produce Vitamin A. They are also good for lowering cholesterol levels and yes… for improving vision. Vitamin A helps your eyes convert light to a signal that is sent to the brain, which allows you to see better in low light. Sweet! Night vision. Pass the carrots please!
