Why do you find joy in taking innocent people and finding a way to be mean to \u2019em? It\u2019s not okay. It\u2019s not okay! People that are different don\u2019t need to be criticized about it. It\u2019s not their fault.\u201d<\/p>\n Wrote his mother, Kimberly: \u201cFor 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\u2019s as all boy<\/a> as they come, but by all accounts he\u2019s good at school. Talk to your kids. I\u2019ve even had friends of mine tell me they\u2019re kids were only nice to him to get him to mess with people.

You are right #ItGetsBetter! You are my own personal super hero. Protect Yo Heart. You got a pal in the Hulk.\u201d<\/p>\n Tweeted Mark Hamill, \u201cThey\u2019re just jealous because you\u2019re so smart & handsome.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAdd me to your long list of friends Keaton,\u201d tweeted Dale Earnhardt Jr.<\/p>\n Others reaching out include Patrick Adams (Suits<\/em>), Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things)<\/em>, Kevin Jonas, Cardi B and, well, take a look for a sample of a roster that\u2019s growing by the minute:<\/p>\n The post Celebs Reach Out to Bullied Tennessee Teen as Viral Video Hits More Than 18 Million Views: WATCH<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n
