Bullying is never OK...
This video shows the true ugly power of bullying, and why it has no place in our society.
Keaton Jones, the boy featured, has received a wave of support from people all over the world, after his heartbreaking chat with his Mother about the bullies at his school went viral.
The video has been viewed more than 16-million times, and sends a powerful message about the true impact of bullying in schools.
In the video, Keaton who seems wise beyond his years, tells his Mother about the things he's forced to endure day-to-day.
Choking back tears, he says he is made fun of about his nose and called 'ugly' by other children.
He also adds the following moving message for other people experiencing bullying:
''People that are different don't need to be criticised about it. It's not their fault."
"If you are made fun of, just don't let it bother you.
"Stay strong I guess. It's hard. But it'll probably get better one day."
Wise words Keaton!
And his message hasn't gone unheard, celebrities from around the globe are rallying behind him:
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

.@lakyn_jones Hey Keaton, bullies are the ones with the problems NOT you. Many are bullied at home and pass it on. Cowards always need an audience. Be strong! I’ll come walk the hall and eat lunch with you anytime. #IstandwithKeaton #Keatonstrong #KeatonJones

I’m your friend, Keaton Jones. You’re a more intelligent and more compassionate human being than any of the people bullying you. I’m inspired by you and things will get better because you are speaking out. Love and strength to you, dude!
