As most people can attest, speaking in front of a group of classmates or work colleagues is never an easy experience.

Speaking in front of those same people about an incredibly personal issue can be daunting in the extreme, but the extremely brave Tom Sosnik pulled it off with aplomb.

The 13-year-old transgender teen decided to speak up about the hugely sensitive topic and paid tribute to a 17-year-old teen who took her own life after her family refused to acknowledge her transition.

With incredible poise, Tom delivered an eloquent speech many adults would struggle to get through and even raised a few laughs in the process!

Articulating his struggles, desires and hopes, the brave young teen opened up to his classmates, acknowledged their concerns and offered his support should they need it when attempting to process their classmate's news.

Have a listen to their heartwarming reaction!
