Boy's video about being bullied in school has gotten even celebrities talking

Keaton Jones, from Knoxville, Tennessee, has gotten a lot of people talking about bullying. 

After his mother, Kimberly Jones, picked him up from school, because he was too afraid to eat lunch alone, she posted this heartbreaking video of Keaton talking about being bullied. 

“They make fun of my nose. They call me ugly. They say I have no friends,” Keaton explained.

He then goes on to describe how bullies  “put milk on me and put ham down my clothes, throw bread on me.” 

"Just out of curiosity, why do they bully? What’s the point of it?” he asked. “Why do you find joy in taking innocent people and finding a way to be mean to them? It’s not okay.”

A visibly upset Keaton shows great compassion towards other victims of bullying: “I don’t like that they do it to me. And I, for sure, don’t like that they do it to other people, cause it’s not okay! People that are different don’t need to be criticised about it. It’s not their fault.”

Since going viral, the roll call of celebrities and A-listers have responded to the video include Mark Hamill, Demi Lovato, Chris Evans and Mille Bobby Brown:   

The family say that they are "humbled" by the amount of support that Keaton has received.  

He is looking forward to all the premiers, concerts and Football matches he has been invited to!
