When a reporter asked for his message to those being bullied, the singer stated: “My message is, just to make sure to stand strong. If you’re watching someone being bullied, don’t be a bystander and make sure to step up.”

His mentor, Usher, also revealed to OK! how proud he is of Justin for his charitable efforts, " It’s one thing to write a check, but when you as an artist take on responsibility...it really speaks to the individual and who he will be as an artist, as an icon."
