"You matter, all right? There's always gonna be someone that cares about you. And you're a good person. No matter what people say, you matter," he said to the camera. "Whoever you are, you matter to someone. Just keep that in mind. Don't forget that."

She posted the video to TikTok and it now has millions of views.

"I'm not trying to get famous or something like that. I was just trying to say something nice, and now, this is happening. So, I'm just kind of going with it," the teenager said.
