“An eighth-grader in a Killeen, Texas school was suspended for two days for helping a classmate who collapsed while suffering an asthma attack, WXIA-TV reported.

“I broke rules but, she needed help,” said the student, Anthony Ruelas.

Ruelas’ mother, Mandy Cortes, produced a note from Ruelas’ fifth-period teacher at Gateway Middle School describing the incident. According to the instructor, the unidentified girl was in class on Tuesday when she started complaining about not being able to breath, telling the teacher she was having an attack.
