A boy hailing from Tennessee posted a heartbreaking video of him speaking up against those who bully him and others on the internet.
Keaton Jones of Knoxville, Tennessee expressed the painful struggle of being a victim of bullying to his mother Kimberly in a Facebook video on Friday, with tears running down continuously from his eyes.
The video has been viewed more than 21 million times as of Sunday night and is receiving more views.
He told his mother in the car with teary eyes, "They make fun of my nose. They call me ugly. They say I have no friends,"
"They "put milk on me and put ham down my clothes, throw bread on me", he added.
He also questions the bullies saying, "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 also said that he can understand what other victims also go through and stated that it's 'not okay' to bully the people weaker than you.
"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!. People that are different don't need to be criticized about it. It's not their fault."

Keaton's mother Kimberly Jones wrote, "For the record, Keaton asked to do this AFTER he had me pick him up AGAIN because he was afraid to go to lunch", alongside the moving video.
"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.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" she further added.
