A Florida teen visited students in Brownsville Thursday to share his anti-bullying message.
Jaylen Arnold, 14, has Tourette's Syndrome. He started the Jaylen's Challenge Foundation to visit schools around the country and share what it feels like to be bullied for being different. His work helped him win the 2014 Youth Honoree World of Children Award.
Arnold visited Mott Hall Bridges Academy in Brownsville. His program was brought to students by the Department of Education's Gang Prevention and Intervention Unit.
The school's principal says Arnold visited them because of all the work they have already done to teach students about being kinder to each other.
