]]> A young man has spoken out against those who bully him and others in a video clip that’s making waves on the Internet — and earning him a slew of famous friends. In a video posted on Facebook, Friday, by his mother, Tennessee student Keaton Jones emotionally explained how he was bullied at school.

“They make fun of my nose. They call me ugly. They say I have no friends,” Keaton told his mother in a car with tears in his eyes. He added that things even get physical at lunch, when 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.”

Keaton said he also feels for others who suffer through similar situations.

“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!” he told his mother. “People that are different don’t need to be criticized about it. It’s not their fault.”

Alongside the emotional video, Keaton’s mother, Kimberly Jones, wrote, “For the record, Keaton asked to do this AFTER he had he me pick him up AGAIN because he was afraid to go to lunch.”

“My kids are by no stretch perfect, & at home, he’s as all boy as they come, but by all accounts he’s good at school,” wrote Kimberly.”Talk to your kids. I’ve even had friends of mine tell me they’re 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.”

Keaton’s message went viral, catching the attention of several celebrities who wanted to reach out and offer their support.

“Keaton, this is so accurate,” wrote Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown on Twitter. “Why do people do this? I think your sooo cool Keaton! I wanna be your friend ( but srsly) ur freakin awesome.”

Oscar-winner Patricia Arquette added, “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!”

Cardi B also stood up for Keaton, writing on Instagram, “Who ever goes to this boy school, If you pick on him you not even a bully YOU A STRAIGHT UP P— A— PUNK A— B—-,” she wrote. “Like how you pick on somebody who can’t defend them self ? THATS NOT GANGSTA !”

UFC President Dana White also took notice, saying that he wanted to bring Keaton to Las Vegas to hang out at UFC headquarters. The message was reposted on Instagram by Ricky Martin.
Many other athletes, actors, and well-known figures, including Martin Luther King Jr.’s daughter Bernice, also sent messages of support on social media.

“Friends, overwhelmed is the understatement of the world right now,” Keaton’s mother, Kimberly, wrote on Facebook Saturday afternoon. “I’m humbled by the voice my boy has been given, but he’s still just a little boy & he’s a little boy who desperately wants acceptance, that I have to try to find a way to navigate him through the difference in true acceptance & attention.”

“I know God has His hand in this, & I trust that the right things will happen in the right time.”

]]> Good Celebrity welcomed Disney Channel stars Matthew and Ben Royer into our headquarters to chat about their new campaign, Choose Kindness.

Along with being super cool kids and sharing their fantasy football smarts, the twin brothers are working hard to combat bullying both in public and online.

Matthew and Ben sat down with Good Celebrity founder Alex Ribble to talk about their campaign and why it’s so important.

“Since our accounts are public and not private, people can see what we’re doing during the day and they’ll comment on stuff that they might not like on our page,” said Matthew.

Disney’s Choose Kindness campaign encourages kids to fight bullying by first, telling someone if they’re a victim. The first step is to make someone that can help aware of the situation.

“It helps kid everywhere. And kids who are bullies learn not to bully and to fight bullying,” said Matthew.

The sad thing about bullying, especially online, is that it’s not just kids sharing mean words, it’s also adults.

“What we’ve realized is mostly people who cyberbully are adults and that’s an awful thing because why should an adult have to cyberbully a kid,” said Ben.

Matthew and Ben hope that they can reduce bullying by sharing their message. They said that they’re already seeing their fans share the hashtag, #ChooseKindness when bullying occurs on their personal accounts.

To learn more about the campaign, follow the actors on Instagram at @TheMatthewRoyer and @TheBenRoyer.
