#tbt Universal Studios in 1988. This was one of the times I got the grant a wish with the Make A Wish foundation. It was pretty heavy for me, as a teenager who had terrible self esteem, to know that this kid, who was so kind and sweet, was terminally ill, and picked *me* of all the people in the world, to spend the day with.
I don't know if you can tell from this picture, but I can see how awkward and uncomfortable I am while I pose for a publicity picture, because I just wanted to get back to spending the day with this kid and his family, and I felt like promoting myself was totally inappropriate.
This photo was given to me at Galaxy Con, and while I wish I could remember more about the day it was taken, I'm grateful that I have it, to remind me that it was never about the crappy people who were cruel to me because they didn't like the way Wesley was written. It was about the kids who were inspired by him.

I was an awkward preteen and teenager and I didn’t tell anyone how my dad and I would watch Star Trek regularly and that I had a crazy crush on you. Then one time I was in a grocery in Los Alamitos, Ca and you were there walking down an isle like the coolest guy I’d ever seen! Ya I was shy so I just kinda followed you around with butter flies in my stomach. Eventually I got my nerve up to ask you for your autograph. I’m sure I was turning purple and stumbling on my words. But I have NEVER forgotten how cool I thought you were and how amazing it was you just happened to be in my neck of the woods!!

Wil, I've been reading a lot of these comments as well as your posts recently and just want to say thanks for being an inspirational character on one of my favorite shows growing up. Your character showed me that you don't have to be an adult to be smart or outgoing. You helped me with my confidence as a youngster and I just want to say thank you. Screw the people who didn't like the writing. Keep on being inspirational. Also, loved your guest appearances on Big Bang and I have a new life goal of someday being around the same table as you in a D&D or similar role playing game. Cheers!

I know people are upset about the first episodes where Wesley appears, but the final couple episodes were awesome, rewatching them years later I still enjoy them. As a kid, Star Trek inspired me to become interested in science, even though I didn’t make it into the field the journey was still totally worth it! Thank you to you and the rest of the cast! ( I met Jonathan Frakes right before I went to grad school, he was super nice, even as I made a complete fool of myself! 😂)

I came to the next generation late. It started when I was 2 and 1/2 but I always struggled with chronic pain. So on nights with nothing but time and reruns, the next generation kept high school me company when the pain got to be unbearable and nothing helped (meds wise). I've never really understood the dislike of Wesley over the years. Maybe theres something I've missed but still grateful for the distraction when the pain got to be too bad.

I loved Wesley. As another poster commented, he reminded me that it was cool to be smart... and that even the smart people don't get things right 100% of the time. He also was a teenager, and he acted like a teenager. I'm sorry you had to endure cruelty from people for your character. I hope, as time has gone by, you've been able to find some peace with it and know, in your heart, that you did great work. Because you absolutely did.

It makes me so sad to think of the hatred and cruelness directed at you.. I grew up with ST Next Gen and ADORED Wesley Crusher 😍 smart brave and capable. You were inspirational to nerdy chubby little me. I still find inspiration from you by following you here on Instagram and having a little peek into your life. Never doubt your self worth and importance in this world. You make it a much lovelier place to be. ❤️
