ISIS. Syria. Dallas. Brexit. Trump. There seems to be so much bad stuff going on in the world right now that it's easy to forget that awesome things also happen every day on this planet of ours. Which is why we've decided to bring you this inspirational list of amazing kids who are each making the world a better place in their own special way.

Compiled by Bored Panda, the pictures below serve to remind us that no matter what's going on around us, there's always some kid rescuing ducklings from a drainpipe or saving up his pocket money to buy peanut butter for shelter dogs. With kids like these, the future's looking bright.

    I saw a story of a little blonde boy with very long hair, who put up with people teasing him and calling him a girl, all the while he was growing it that long so he could donate it. AMAZING kid!

    I love this one SO MUCH! Prisoners often aren't thought about or discussed much in "civilized society,", so it's amazing to see a kid thinking about them and giving. Forget no one, and love all!

    In my own experience, it's difficult to me or many people in my city to talk to garbage collectors cause they are always in a rush. Glad to see these guys can slow down a bit and have fun with these little girls :)

    Good job Jake!! I believe you will make the other kids happy! And that is great! Hospital can be a really sad and boring place. I think you can possibly make their treatment faster. Because happiness is important in treatment :-)
