"Just out of curiosity, why do they bully? What’s the point of it?" Keaton asks. "Why do you find joy in taking innocent people and finding a way to be mean to them. It’s not okay."

"I don’t like that they do it to me, and I for sure don’t like that they do it to other people because it’s not okay. People that are different don’t need to be criticized for it. It’s not their fault. If you are made fun of just don’t let it bother you. Stay strong I guess. It’s hard."

Overwhelmed by the outpouring of supports, Keaton's mother posted on Facebook, "Friends, overwhelmed is the understatement of the world right now. 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."

It is refreshing to see such a brave young man stand up for what he believes in, and he definitely deserves the positive attention that he is receiving.
