WILMINGTON, Del. (CBS) - A Wilmington sixth grader was a guest of First Lady Melania Trump at the State of the Union Address on Tuesday evening. Joshua Trump is not related to President Donald Trump, but he says he's been bullied at school because of his last name.

He sat next to the first lady in the gallery during the State of the Union.

Bullying prevention is the focus of an initiative called "Be Best" that was started by the first lady.

Joshua says he's thankful to the president and first lady for their support.
