(CBS) Jaylen Arnold knows how it feels to be different. He's had Tourette's Syndrome for most of his nine years. As CBS News correspondent Kelly Cobiella reports, it makes his body twitch even though his brain is telling it to be still.
Most times Jaylen can handle it. Last February Jaylen's twitches got worse, much worse. It started when the kids at a new school began to bully him. "What did they say," Cobiella asked Jaylen. "You're a weird kid," he said. "You should just go back to where you came from." "How did that make you feel?" "Really sad, like real sad."
But Jaylen did not run and hide. "I made a Web site called Jaylen's Challenge.org. It's about stopping bullying and so far it's working," he said.
