Cape Town – Hollywood stars have shared their support for young student Keaton Jones after a video of him went viral on Friday.
Keaton’s mom, Kimberly, shared a video of her tearful son describing the bullying he has had to endure at school.
“Why do they bully? What’s the point of it?” Keaton says to the camera, detailing how his classmates target him specifically and make fun of his appearance and call him “ugly”.
Towards the end of the video – which Kimberly says her son asked to film after his mom fetched him because he was too afraid to go to lunch – Keaton shares a message of encouragement to all those who have been bullied.
“If you are made fun of, just don’t let it bother you. They suck, I guess. It’s hard but it will probably get better one day.”
