A 14-year-old Utah teen has gifted 537 of his female peers with chocolates for Valentine’s Day in a bid to make them feel “special and beautiful”.

Weber County resident Tryston Brown was inspired to make the kind gesture after learning about teen suicide prevention and the importance of having a positive self-image, his mother Anissa told local broadcaster KUTV .

Tryston floated the idea past his school, Rocky Mountain Jr. High.

The school approached chocolate manufacturer Hershey requesting donations, and Hershey responded by offering several boxes worth of chocolates.

Tryston handed out the chocolate to his fellow students during the school’s first period on February 14.

School principal Nicole Meibos said countless girls were moved by the gesture.

“Every girl’s face lit up as they received their Valentine chocolate from him,” she said.

“I don’t know if he will ever fully understand the impact that he made in the lives of these young ladies.”
