    Regardless of the celeb praise, I worry today could be tough for Keaton. Going public was brave. Bullies won't just go away. And the emotional toll for someone his age is hard to imagine. Let's not forget about him (or this cause) once this moment passes!https://twitter.com/WillieGeist/status/940181933677522944 …

    Well done, Jarrett. Thanks for putting that smile on Keaton’s face. He’s about to walk into school with swagger this morning. https://twitter.com/broadwayjay2/status/940013198027214848 …

        Excellent point. What needs to change is the school. Many schools do extensive anti-bullying education & awareness abt what to do if you are bullied & what to do if you see/hear bullying. Kids need to know the school doesn’t tolerate bullying. Kids need to know how to speak up.

        So I got the chance to spend the day with my new best bud Keaton. It was unbelievable to get to know him and realize that we have a lot in common. This dude is very special and has changed my life forever. Now I have the little brother I always wanted! God bless you my man pic.twitter.com/vMHVtnf2rC

        Never underestimate the STRENGTH someone gets when they release the 'fear' that paralyses them. THAT is why women speak out too!

        You're right. This had been going on for a while. The school wasn't protecting him. Hopefully something clicks for the admin there today. The neighboring school system has a zero tolerance policy. That's their clue IMO

        I was bullied everyday till a jock befriended me in study hall. People thought I must more than just a fat kid and finally listened to me. This will have a positive effect for Keaton. 😆

        I was thinking the same, but I also wonder if they're all going to be afraid to be pointed out, now that he has all of this support. Bullies don't like to be "discovered". Hoping for the best!

        You are on point. In my experience as a teacher, I’d guess the bullies are now really pissed off and will lash out at all the attention Keaton has received. Prayers are in order for this sweet little guy!

        Was thinking the same. The bullies might plan to "teach him a lesson." Thinking of Keaton today.

        Couldn't agree more.This is a truly inspirational moment because of this young mans outspoken courage.We must stay on it for all children's hearts and spirits. My 10 yr ol son watched Keaton's footage and SOBBED and wants to fly 2 have a play date.

        Celebs won’t be on the school bus with him and in his cafeteria. This is insane. What about the bullies? Don’t they have names and parents? We expect this one child to be strong and we let the bullies go. These bullies need to be outed. Everyone of them. Names!!!

        While researching my novella, a martial arts expert (and MINISTER) said one of the problems was a lot of the time, bullies just wouldn't let you walk away, even if you wanted to. So you needed another plan, which is what my book addresses.

        I certainly hope school step up in a bold and assertive ways to identify and hold bullies accountable. Sadly, Keaton’s not the only kid bullied that day or in the days before and following across the country.

        And can this grow into a national discourse w action? Bullying is sadly as much of a national health crisis as anything else. There are far too many Keatons.
