Heartbreaking Video of Bullied Teen Goes Viral & Sparks Celebs to Reach Out

Let me tell you a little story.

When I was in middle school, I was bullied for nearly two years. Bullied mostly for the colour of my skin and the clothes that I wore. It was a very difficult time and bullying can have long-lasting effects on its victims.

Now, I want you to meet Keaton Jones. Keaton’s mother Kimberly posted this video of him expressing the pain he’s experienced from being bullied from his classmates.

The video has since gone viral with #StandWithKeaton trending all weekend long and it’s even spawned a response from several celebrities who have offered their words of support for the young boy and in some cases have offered him some pretty special experiences.

Watch below as celebrities like Katy Perry, Cardi B, Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, and athletes reach out to Keaton wanting to be his friend.

This broke my today. Please be kind to one another. #standwithkeaton

We hear you #KeatonJones. I was bullied constantly growing up. And could never have put into words what you have. It does get better. And it gets better because of who are and what you know and how you share it with all of us. Thank you for your courage. https://t.co/P4cCQtkAnB

Keaton, I'm sorry those kids are being so mean. Unless people like that change they will end up having unhappy lives. I think you're cool!

Keaton you are a handsome young man who is made in the image God. The kids that bully you are very insecure about themselves. And it’s a shame that the parents of those kids won’t be accountable for their kids actions. Keaton Jones I’m here for you buddy. Be Strong young man
