I Stand With Keaton but is THIS VIRAL Explosion Going to Back Fire?

The WORLD is standing with Keaton Jones after his 1 minute video calling out some cowards at his school who have been bullying him, pouring milk on him and sticking ham down his shirt. Over $50,000 has been raised by donors offering him college tuition and millions of people have watched his video. 

I'm concerned that all this attention could actually make matters worse for Keaton! 

I remember being a boy and kids can be very mean as we know.. They use any excuse to try to escalate their own position by climbing on others. Are the bullying kids going to be even more jealous and resentful now that Keaton is getting invites from Hollywood stars in the Avengers, NFL players and college tuition. The bullies are learning the behavior from somewhere, most likely their parents. 

How are people who are already feeling so insecure that they bully others going to feel when they experience an even greater sense of lack? Is it bullying to team up against the bullies?

How do we stop this vicious cycle? All things I'm thinking about. What do YOU say? Hit me on my Facebook page to post your thoughts here.

I think what needs to happen is adults that these kids look up to need to continue offering support to ALL kids. I feel like our culture is growing and becoming more mindful that people are different and that's a GOOD thing. How do we all think outside the box?
