Middle school boy breaks down in tears after being bullied
A Facebook post is quickly gaining attention for its realistic look inside the mind of a young Tennessee boy being bullied.
Kimberly Jones, the mother of Keaton, the boy being bullied, records her son’s heartbreaking confession of being bullied at school. She said it was her son’s idea to record the video, according to KATU.
“They call me ugly, they say I have no friends,” he says in the video, his voice breaking as his eyes well up with tears. “They poured milk on me, put ham down my clothes, (and) threw bread at me.”
The video, which has more than 9.5 million views and more than 220,000 shares at the time of this article, has garnered extremely positive support in the comments.
“Bless your heart! It makes me both sad and angry that those kids are picking on you. I’m sure their parents would not approve of their actions. Keep your head up. You have nothing to be ashamed up,” one commenter said.
“Omg, this really breaks my heart. Hope something gets done about this!!!” said another
But it wasn’t just Facebook commenters providing support. University of Tennessee Vols sophomore Tyler Byrd tweeted about the video, letting Keaton know some good news.
