Celebs Rally Behind Bullying Victim Keaton Jones
Over the weekend, a young boy from Tennessee named Keaton Jones found himself receiving some love from celebs after his bullying testimonial went viral!
Bullying Is Not Ok"Keaton asked to do this AFTER he had me pick him up AGAIN because he was afraid to go to lunch. My kids are by no stretch perfect, and at home, he's as all boy as they come, but by all accounts he's good at school. Talk to your kids. I've even had friends of mine tell me their kids were only nice to him to get him to mess with people. We all know how it feels to want to belong, but only a select few know how it really feels not to belong anywhere."For our best love stories, subscribe to our free email newsletter: https://bit.ly/29l733Q#LoveWhatMattersSubmitted by Kimberly Jones

In the tearjerking video, Keaton asked, “Just out of curiosity, why do they bully? What's the point of it? Why do you find joy in taking innocent people and finding a way to be mean to 'em? It's not okay. It's not okay! People that are different don't need to be criticized about it. It's not their fault.”
Along with pouring milk down his shirt, Keaton revealed, “They make fun of my nose. They call me ugly. They say I have no friends.”
After his mom posted the video, which quickly garnered over 20 million views on Facebook, Keaton got some support from big names, including Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Millie Bobby Brown, Rihanna and Justin Bieber.

Stay strong, Keaton. Don't let them make you turn cold. I promise it gets better. While those punks at your school are deciding what kind of people they want to be in this world, how would you and your mom like to come to the Avengers premiere in LA next year? https://t.co/s1QwCQ3toi
