In a video recorded by his mother on Saturday, a boy by the name of Keaton Jones from Knoxville, TN., expressed his sadness over being bullied.
Jones describes having milk thrown at him by other kids, and also maturely reflects that people shouldn’t be criticized for being different.

It's been awesome to see but I'm starting to worry about Keaton Jones' future grades with all these trips he's going to be taking this year.

The #KeatonJones video is both brave & grievous. I’m sure I speak for my colleagues in that we would love to have him at a event. It’s my hope that he can invite his former tormentors as “friends”. For we solve nothing in creating new victims, & everthing creating new friendships
