Boy Cries To Be Left Alone By Bullies, Doesn't Expect Response From Celebrities Like Katy Perry, Demi Lovato And Chris Evans
By now, you've probably seen the name 'Keaton Jones' mentioned by at least one of your favorite celebrities on Twitter. The young student from Knoxville, TE has gone viral after appearing in a heartbreaking video that reveals the true damage bullying causes.
"They make fun of my nose. They call me ugly. They say I have no friends," Keaton says through tears in the video posted by his mother, Kimberly, which was reportedly recorded after Keaton had to be picked up from school to avoid lunchtime bullies. Though he goes on to detail how he and other children at his school are teased and tormented, he offers a message of encouragement, and ends the video by telling all victims of bullying that "it'll probably get better one day."
The powerful video struck a chord with viewers - including a whole host of famous faces. From Katy Perry, to Demi Lovato, to Chris Evans, celebrities across the board have rallied around Keaton. Though it began as a campaign for peace, which included at least two GoFundMe accounts aimed at helping the Jones family, it has now become shrouded by scandal after several apparently-racist social media posts by Kimberly Jones were uncovered, and speculations were leveled that she had encouraged her son to use racial slurs against his peers. Multiple celebrities have since voiced their continued support for Keaton, despite how troubled the accusations made them feel.
Scroll down to see the most heartfelt celebrity reactions, and be sure to add your thoughts in the comments.
This is Knoxville student Keaton Jones, and this is what he has to say about bullying:
The video, posted by his mom, has now gone viral, and celebrities are rallying around Keaton

Go to his mother's FB. better yet Google Kimberly Jones because she deleted a lot of racist c**p off her profile but there are many screenshots. In a photo her son's holding the confederate flag while she's holding a Bible and handgun. She also is scamming money big-time via GoFundMe for bullying???!!! She is extremely hateful against blacks. I heard the boy was bullying another boy and that's why he was bullied back. There's more to this story!

I'm a mum of 4 kids & a nana of 5. ... I know it's hard dealing with these stupid bullies.. Firstly understand they have the problem with who they are..?the bullies take their frustrations out on you as it makes them feel better about themselves... Secondly you need to stand up to them it will be hard at first but don't back down.. Don't ever let anyone think they can beat you .. You have to be strong to survive in this World.. Do some self defence & get your courage an self esteem up.. Good luck you are a winner...

BEING BULLIED CAN BE A TWO EDGE SWARD IT MAKES YOU HIDE OR IT CAN MAKE YOU MAD AND MEAN, HURT PEOPLE "HURT PEOPLE" HAD A CLASS MATE WHO WAS BULLIED TO DEATH. ONE BLINDED BY BULLIES. THESE KIDS CAN BE SCARED EMOTIONALLY FOR LIFE. I HAVE WORKED WITH HUNDREDS OF MIDDLE SCHOOL KIDS THAT TELL ME IT ALL STARTS IN KTHRU 6TH GRADE. IT DESTROYS THEIR SELF ESTEEM, CONFIDENCE IN THEMSELVES AND IT EFFECTS EVERY FASSET OF THEIR ADULT LIFE IF NOT TREATED AND REBUILT. I HACE WORKED WITH THE BULLIES, AND THE ONE COMMON DENOMATER THEY HAVE IS THAT THEY WERE BULLIED BY A FATHER, BROTHER OR ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER IN THEIR FIRST BEGGINS. MY NEXT QUESTION TO THEM IS WHAT WOULD HAE STOPED YOUR BULLING, THE ANSWER IS; IF THEY LET ME BULLY I WILL IF THEY KNOCK MY HEAD OFF I STOP. WE CAN SEND ANYTHING INTO SPACE BUT WE JUST CAN NOT TEACH OUR KIDS COMPASSION AND CONSIDERATION, KINDNESS AND JUST PLANE GOOD MANNERS? MAYBE WE NEED A START OVER.....

the only reason people make fun of you is because they feel bad about themselves, and making fun of someone else makes them feel "better" for just a second. Know that! Don't react and carry yourself with pride. You are worth only best!

Me too Mark. I hated school. While other kids were crying about leaving each other’s graduation I was jumping for joy. You know it’s funny. I ran into one of my former bullies a couple of years after graduation and I tensed up ready for some verbal abuse and he smiled at me and asked how I was. I was astonished that he had actually liked me and we had a nice conversation. Go figure. It goes to show that some bullies seem to think we enjoy it! Btw, I want to thank you. My daughter lives in Studio City and I was walking to Aromas to meet her for coffee and we passed each other while walking and I said “good morning”and you took the time to say the same to me. I know that as a celebrity you enjoy your peace and quiet when you can get it so I appreciate that you did answer back. Also, I thank you for your work. Thanks for your comment to Keaton. As you know the victims feel so alone and we lose too many great kids and adults to suicide. I almost did it myself.

Keaton you are beautiful. Bullies are the most insecure people in the world. I was bullied in school too, but turned the tables on them.

Still two wrongs don't make a right . I wondered myself if he had been doing anything or bullying someone to begin with but then I also thought about how we so often blame the victim for things and as I said just because someone does it to you doesn't mean it's ok to do it back.... if that's the thought process we have we end up with a society full of the ignorant jack hole at the bottom of this comment thread.

how about a follow up/update? Like idiots opened Kickstarter/gofundme pages and they got shut down. Turns out the mom is an active racist and attends protests against good people (Is a bully herself) and she passes this onto her kids. It's turning out that this kid is NOT a well liked kid. He shouldn't be bullied but his mom apparently made things way worse when the truth came out.

Bloody fool who ever you are..Prophet MOhammed or Gandhi become what they are now known for. They were bullied alot more than you can think of.

Mixed Martial Arts. Basically 2 people get in a ring or polygon of some sort. There are rules for points, takedowns hits etc. They beat the snot out of each other for a certain amount of time until either someone taps out, someone breaks something, or time is up and it is judged. I personally thought it to be dumb at first. But after learning what they are doing I can see the skill, and hard work that is put in to put on a show of strength. I generally only watch it when with friends or family. It is pretty neat and can be watched on YouTube to get more info on it.

True. There are many that don't even tell anybody. For me when things got too hard (half a class picking on me) I explained the situation to my mom and told her I wanted to skip a whole year at school. Mom was super awesome, she totally understood and let me stay at home that year. Next year I got back to same school and bullies where one year ahead of me, so I was free from them (because the picking and shaming usually occured inside the classroom). Unfortunately sometimes we need to take measures we shouldn't have to to stay sane, but eventually it does get better, just stay strong and be sure there's nothing wrong with you, they are the ones at fault

Holy c**p. Don't go blaming this all on the schools, principal, etc. I'm a teacher. We get into this very unforgiving career because we LOVE the kids. Bullies aren't dumb enough to do the bullying right in front of those with power. They're great at hiding it so they don't get in trouble. School admin can't fix a problem they don't know about. But the school officials aren't idiots. They definitely know about the viral video of their student that major celebrities have responded to. They're doing something now. What a jackass thing to say Sean Hannity. This is why the National Education Association hates you.

All kids are bullied. They just make a VERY big deal about it these days because no one is teaching kids that they have a say in how they are treated. Dad's need to TEACH their boys to be MEN and not babies. Single Moms need to teach their boys and girls how to stand up for themselves. Put them in a martial arts class. Tell them it's ok to go to the principal's office and report it. Report it to the local police dept. But for heaven's sake DON'T BE A VICTIM.

I used to get bullied for standing up for kids that were abused in school...but I have a very strong personality when it comes to any abuse and it just went over my head because I knew that I was better than the people that bullied those that were more sensitive to the harsh words and cruel things that kids can do to others...no school should allow that on their premises and the parents of these kids that do this need to step in and handle the situation...if my kid had ever done something like this he'd had been in the woodshed. My son is very compassionate to the under dogs just like me....it does get better and just be true to yourself and do not abuse others even when you yourself is going thru this...

All these celebrities are nice to speak up to him, even inviting him as a special guest to the Avengers premiere. However, I'd love to see what the parents of the bullies have to say. Not to acccuse anyone, or spread hate, but I know I'd be mad angry if I had kids and found out they bullied someone. Bully victims need all the encouragement, but the bullies need some education as well. Depression and suicide are serious problems, but even without it, bullying can actually turn into real assault, where the victim gets physically injured for life. Kids need to learn that another kid's life is no joke.

I agree. I believe that kids that are doing the bullying needs to be taught a lesson.
