If you're being bullied in school, there's pretty much no better allies you could ask for than Luke Skywalker and Captain America.
Oh, and maybe some real life MMA fighters to boot.
After Keaton Jones' video about his experience with the bullies at his school went viral, the internet sprang into action and showed its best side with many people in power using their influence for good.
First, UFC President
Dana White reached out to Keaton's family to invite them to UFC headquarters. Not only that, but after Coach John Kavanagh shared Keaton's video, local MMA fighters for Keaton's hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee were inviting him down to the gym to pick up some tips.
But the good will didn't stop there. Chris Evans, best known for playing Marvel's iconic Captain America, shared the video and wrote: "Stay strong, Keaton. Don’t let them make you turn cold. I promise it gets better. While those punks at your school are deciding what kind of people they want to be in this world, how would you and your mom like to come to the Avengers premiere in LA next year?"

Mark Ruffalo, who co-stars with Evans as The Incredible Hulk, made Keaton the same offer:

Mark Hamill, aka Luke Skywalker, also posted a message of support for the young man, saying: "Don't waste time wondering why a bully would be so mean-They're sad people who think hurting others will make them feel better because they really don't like themselves-They're just jealous because you're so smart & handsome."
