A Delaware boy who has been bullied because his last name is Trump recently received a medal for the bravery the 11-year-old has shown. On Saturday, the Teach Anti Bullying organization gave Joshua Trump its National Anti Bullying Medal of Courage, making him the 48th recipient of the honor, reports WPVI. The 6th grader had reportedly been so horridly tormented by his fellow students at Wilmington's Talley Middle School that his last name was changed in the school's system. The taunting reportedly began while he was in elementary school and after Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president. Claudio Cerullo, the founder of the anti-bullying organization, told the New York Daily News that throughout the cruelty he's been facing, Joshua "...stood, he didn't fall…He didn't hurt himself, hurt others. He didn't retaliate. That's what makes him a hero."
